Dreadful Nonsense

"I've read your blog. it's really funny. you should write a column." - Jon Ronson

Last night, my good friend Jayne went to see the new Kevin Smith film, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.

I have only very recently discovered the work of Kevin Smith since moving in to my new flat, and finding myself ill and off work with no interest in watching UK Style all day and being forced instead to watch the rather eclectic video collection belonging to my new flat mates.

I decided to watch Chasing Amy first, since there were two copies of it in the collection, and because I had never heard of it. I didn’t like it, but Jayne persuaded me instead to watch the rest of the Kevin Smith back catalogue in the order they were intended. And, like everyone else that has ever watched his films, I was hooked from the first scene of Clerks. Hoorah.

If you’re not a fan of Kevin Smith films, very much like these people, then don’t go and see this film. It will irritate the hell out of you. If you haven’t seen any Kevin Smith films, go and watch them all, back to back, in the right order. If you are a fan, you’ve probably already seen the film.
