George vs. Kevin
...Or Jowl versus Specs...
For the last few weeks my movie pals have been all a buzz over the upcoming release of Revenge of the Sith - mostly emailing me to make fun of all the fan boy idiocy cropping up or to deride George's non-stop merchandising machine. But while they only have to wait till May to see this latest Star Wars pic (so that they can make fun of it even more), I have to sit tight for at least 9 months before I get the only sequel I care about. That's right, kids - Clerks 2 is in the works and I can't wait!
The original Clerks had me simultaneously laughing my ass off and crying my eyes out! * And when I got the Clerks X dvd last fall, I just ate up all the extras with a spoon! Funny, funny stuff. I only hope Kevin has gotten all the Jersey Girl gooeyness out of his system. Can he go back to his roots without embarrassing himself (unlike George)? ....It may be a while before I can answer that question definitively but I'll be there with bells on to see what has become of the Quick Stop. By the by, Kevin's "My Boring-Ass Life" blog is pretty funny, but I guess it goes without saying that you gotta be a big fan to find it at all interesting...
* (Over the years Toastkitten has had her share of totally crap retail jobs. She's never worked at a convenience store but retail is retail. Dealing with the public as a sales clerk is at best surreal and at worst ... HELL).

Ah the service industry. I worked at a place called "Golden Burger" once. They had burgers but it was far from golden.
