The personal weblog of Marc Zeedar.
Author: Kevin Smith
Director: Kevin Smith
I’ve seen several of Smith’s more recent films, but Clerks is definitely superior. The dialog is wittier, the events more natural and realistic. It’s believable that convenience store clerks would argue about the meaning of life — after all, meaninglessness is all around them. Extremely impressive for a first film. Makes some of Kevin’s bigger budget, glossier movies seem rather limpid in comparison.
Topic: [/movie] |
I'm Marc Zeedar, writer and dreamer. I'm interested in writing, technology, programming, soccer, philosophy, engineering -- pretty much anything creative.
In college I was given an assignment to write a mini-biography. Rather than do the traditional, I wrote mine as a chronological list of the influential books in my life, explaining what they meant to me (both at the time and later). This turned out even better than I expected -- the saying "you are what you eat" really ought to be "you are what you read." So I decided to do that with my blog: it's a journal of what I'm reading, seeing, thinking, with the occasional unusual event thrown in. Feel free to add comments!
