Oh, I like Kevin Smith. His movies may have a lot of dumb jokes in them but he really is trying to talk about real things, which is not the case with a dozen of his stylish, dead-inside contemporaries. I laughed my ass off through Clerks 2 and I'm sure I'll be giggling at all the "turd burglar" jokes in the new one.
Kevin Smith is still making movies? Christ. And what an awful storyline.
Plus the shit bandit character is a total ripoff of The Sopranos. Anyone who watched the show regularly knows that there was a character who committed heists with Christopher and Lilo Brancato's character and who always popped a squat during the robberies. In one squeamish line, Lilo Brancato turns to the character as he's pinching a loaf during a heist and says, "That's it, no more Mexican food before we go out on these things."
I forget the character's name, but he's the guy who later shoots Christopher.
PS: Yes, I do feel a little shame for knowing this.
Hey remember when having Kevin Smith come to your college and do like a fifteen hour personal voyage/stand up kinda/diatribe on the man love he has for Ben Affleck, Prince, and Jason Mewes ( the androgynous stoner that has a way big fascination with sharing soulmatehood with a large guy who sweats in big coats), was cool?! Maybe? Well now he's feeling all insecure about this whole Apatow takeover so now he has to prove his relevancy again with movies that could be funny if maybe Apatow made them. Yay!
Also, Lithgow on Dexter could be a stroke of genius, but I'm still not forgiving the whole sister/loving/wife thing Dexter...oh, I mean Michael C. Hall pulled off last year. Anybody else think that's just creeptasticlly strange and poignant?

No. Because they are actors 'portraying' siblings, not actual siblings. Michael C. Hall doesn't kill people either. That we know of!!
@secretagentman: Boo! for stating the obvious (and not in a clever way, I might add). I seriously doubt I was the only one who found his marrying his television sister a bit kooky when you think about the nature of the show. Also, have you never seen an interview with Michael C. Hall? Dude is a little odd, perfect for the role, but still odd, which is great for portraying the macabre, making it all a bit strange and poignant as I stated. Thanks, though!
Kevin Smith has lost whatever he had when he made Clerks and Chasing Amy. He needs to take a long vacation. Maybe Clerks was a fluke and we're now seeing the real Kevin Smith.
@Paul.B.Dodd: I think Clerks was a fluke. I didn't even really like Chasing Amy, the first half was funny but the second half was incredibly cheesy and overwrought.
