    Yay! Now he can ruin another on of his beloved movies from before he was bad at making things!

      Later movies don’t impact earlier ones. Clerks is still a masterpiece.

        No, Clerks ceased to exist the moment Smith put out Yoga Hosers. That’s the way the world works. Everything later ruins earlier works and can delete them entirely if they’re bad enough.

        Yes, art stands above and outside the artist, but to SOME extent new Clerks tarnishes it

      Lol. That’s possibly the best way to get people to list out the great movies he’s made. I’ll go ahead say it, I love Jay and Silent Bob.

      Kevin has made a few disappointing films over the years, but I wouldn’t say he’s a bad filmmaker.

      The 4:30 Movie is quite good, and probably the most mature comedy he’s ever made. It really felt like a return to form so I’d recommend giving that a chance if you enjoyed his early work.
