Thought I'd give this old thread a bump, since we're just a few months away from Clerks II (check out the trailers
here).
But I'm really bumping this because of something else Kevin Smith-related--something that I personally find vastly more important and worthwhile than Clerks II, or any of his other movies, for that matter:
Me and My Shadow, Part 1Part 2Part 3Part 4Part 5Part 6Part 7Part 8Part 9 - The ConclusionThis is a story from his blog, where he basically chronicles the battles his friend and costar Jason Mewes has had with drug addiction over the past ten or so years. Very frank, very candid. There was really a lot more going on behind the scenes than anyone knew--anyone who wasn't directly involved, anyway.
I've never been the biggest fan of Smith or the whole View Askewniverse, for that matter--but this story gives me a newfound appreciation for the guy, and for Mewes, too. Altogether, it's a pretty long read (maybe an hour or so?), but it's really-well written, and it's really hard not to want to finish it after reading the first chapter. You guys should really check it out.
