How the f did I miss this... I was just lookin' thru youtube & it suggested Clerks3. Watching immediately...I haven't finished it yet %60 (had to pause so wife could peep). I'm not even supposed to be here today!

Why does Kevin Smith always looks like someone's slipped a surprise finger up his butt hole these days?
LetThem_1972@reddit
I think that's his red-carpet publicity face. No idea why he always doers that same annoying expression.
charliefoxtrot9@reddit
Maybe, baby.

I agree with most of the comments on here.
I can’t watch it again. I’m a younger Gen Xer so the Kevin smith movies still felt like I was watching “an older brother’s story” kinda thing. It hit me in a way I didn’t expect and left me genuinely sad.
FailureFulcrim@reddit
Kevin Smith looks like he put a yardstick in the shoulders of his jacket.
ApprehensiveTax4010@reddit
I hope he's okay. Otherwise I want his weight loss secret.
evilJaze@reddit
Not really a secret. He nearly died from a massive heart attack and had to completely change his lifestyle a number of years ago.
Sudden_Office8710@reddit
Yes, he nearly succumbed to death by PowerPoint 🤣
digawina@reddit
You really don't want his secret (near death). He's very open about it and has talked at length about it. You should Google him.
charmstrong70@reddit
I mean, tbf, is KS not very open about anything?
RaygunMarksman@reddit
I do know all about his wife's b-hole
-Granby-@reddit
He said he ate nothing but plain potatoes for a month after his heart attack to drop weight fast. Now he is vegan.
regeya@reddit
Personally I wish I had the willpower to have the Ethan Suplee transformation
Apparently Kevin did it by going vegan after his heart attack. Fear can be a powerful motivator.
Elesia@reddit
Become a Scientologist like Ethan Suplee? No thanks.
And for what it's worth, Kevin Smith didn't just "become a vegan." He started with The Potato Diet and transitioned, the same way Penn Jillette did.
It's generally better to have an average BMI than what any of them had, but let's not sugarcoat it, all three adopted some pretty extreme beliefs to get there.

digawina@reddit
For fucks sake, not every weight loss is related to GLP-1s. Maybe take 3 seconds to Google "Kevin Smith weight loss" before making an asshole comment.
Ceorl_Lounge@reddit
Nah, after that heart attack he needed to lose weight by any means necessary.

All the jackets at Fashionable Male look like that.

Did he say “making fuck?”

I don't know, but this guy's a character.

I fully expected clerks 3 to be awful, but god damn it worked, Smith knew the assignment here.
AnarchiaKapitany@reddit
It was awful. If you listen tő Smith's podcast, you had the whole pilot outlined for you As hé simply took his own life and plugged it into Clerks, with a sprinkle of self-refernce and fanservice.
TheRateBeerian@reddit
Right because he had a heart attack and was freaked out over dying. And then there's the rest of us Gen X getting to that age where we know many who have had them too, or we're afraid of it ourselves, and he directly addressed that anxiety, and general anxieties over aging, throughout the movie.
It didn't need to be some mysterious plot. His movies are social commentary, not plot-driven adventures.
AnarchiaKapitany@reddit
They used to be both. One part self-inspired antics, and one part dark and witty humor with pop-culture and social commentary. And that's why the first two worked so well. The third? It was a deliberate attempt to de-rail a once unapologetically funny and quirky franchise into melodramatic existential dread, and this time with just an afterthought of the once signature humor.
I mean props to Smith, I absolutely love the fucker himself to the point of just casually strolling over his less-than-great movies, but there's a certain point where milking a cow further will make it drop dead. There are sequels that needn't be made. Clerks 3 was one of them.
Savafan1@reddit
And that was different from the original? Other than he didn’t have a podcast back then
AnarchiaKapitany@reddit
It was fresh, and unknown, as he didn't talk about his experiences in detail before making Clerks 1 & 2. Granted, it may be my fault for regularly listening to the guy.
marshallkrich@reddit
Yes! I was going in and thinking , eh. I left like this ....
ONROSREPUS@reddit
Rosario Dawson is the only reason I watched it.
housevil@reddit
Clerks was one great movie and two failed attempts at reliving the magic.
Top-Address-8870@reddit
The cartoon series was dope!
housevil@reddit
Agreed, the cartoon was still good.
YVRkeeper@reddit
I enjoyed (most of) the second.
^Rosario, ^mostly

The Jackson 5 will always be burned into my subconscious.
RSV4F@reddit
Movie bummed the shit out of me. Most actors are but a few years older than I, so I relate to all Kevin Smith movies. But, this one was rough.
I feel like a lost opportunity of the characters in a nursing home have been missed now. Jay and Silent Bob pimping viagra, weed, and blood pressure meds. LOL Dante working the small nursing home shop. Etc..etc...etc...
Friendly_Tell6664@reddit
I miss chubby Silent Bob
SometimesUnkind@reddit
No shade on kevin getting fit and all healthy. good for him, ya know? Just… looks like a different dude
Cutthechitchata-hole@reddit
Hes so bizaare looking now. I wonder if he has tried wearing more fitting clothes. I took a while to when i got skinny but i still thought i was fat. Maybe he his hiding what he feels are his fat areas and hasnt gotten used to cloth against his skin. He still thinks he has to drape.
3-orange-whips@reddit
Might be loose skin too.
That’s always been his look. Jorts, some kind of baggy. shirt (often a hockey jersey) and the Silent Bob jacket (which was just his jacket).
I always assumed it was size related but it might just be his look. Anyhoo, glad he’s alive!
nadiaco@reddit
Ye but chubby almost died of massive coronary so he would be dead by now.
swahappycat@reddit
Ozempic Bob now lol and he wears oversized clothes so try to appear chubs.

Grew up there. Family still lives close by.

How often do you go in there rolling the eggs around on the floor, looking for the perfect dozen? lol

blacknoi@reddit
So crazy about across the street going from trees to full on dense housing. It’s visually jarring.
GalegoBaiano@reddit
The whole area has been going through that since the original Clerks was released. All the spaces that were trees are now “ratables” and full of homes or bland upscale strip malls.
rory_breakers_ganja@reddit
Every get to play hockey on the roof?
Illustrious_You_6210@reddit
No, but he once nearly got incited to riot by a Chewlies gum representative.
RedSix2447@reddit
This movie hit too hard. I wasn’t ready.
Hardjaw@reddit
Being a widower, this film hit me hard.
mustardman73@reddit
He's not even supposed to be there that day!
MyNameIsntFlower@reddit
I adored Clerk 3. I called my BIL and told him he needed to watch it immediately. He called me afterwards and gave me such a hard time because he didn’t expect it to hit like that.

I'm not gonna miss what's probably gonna be the social event of the season.

Why does Smith do that turtle thing with his neck? So weird.

I don't appreciate your ruse.
zombie_spiderman@reddit
My... "ruse"?
BottleAgreeable7981@reddit
Yes, your cunning attempt to trick me.
Xerhenchman@reddit
Nice.
jimb575@reddit
Why can’t Kevin Smith wear clothes that fit him?
Ceorl_Lounge@reddit
Guy spent his entire life fat, if he wants a baggy suit in his 50's I'm ok with that.
jimb575@reddit
Sure… it just comes across as that he still sees himself fat or that he can’t afford or bought new clothes in the past 20 years… all of which aren’t true.
RudyRusso@reddit

Why does Kevin Smith always look like someone just stuck their finger in his butt?

Rainman1177@reddit
In a row?
evilJaze@reddit
Yeah he kind of snuck this bit of fanservice in a few years ago. Definitely better than the second Jay and Silent Bob movie.
I hadn't heard of it until I saw an article about him being in town that week to show the movie and have a Q&A session after. Of course we jumped on it - mostly for the Q&A. It was a great evening. The movie was bittersweet.
