I'm new to Kevin Smith films. Wasn't impressed with Clerks the first time I saw it. To tell you the truth, most of the people that liked the film where I lived were film snobs. Now don't get me wrong, I love movies just was much as the next lesbian...uhh...guy. Hell, I've even made a few myself and worked in a small independent video store in high school much like the one in Clerks. But the thing I like about him is the journey. The fact that he's not the best filmmaker around...doesn't do fancy camera moves...he's not slick...I like the fact that I'm his age and I get to mature along with him. He's got a lot more in him and I get to witness it.
