I had to remind myself over and over that it's not the 1001 best movies ever made, but movies that are important for some reason, and <i>Clerks</i> qualifies on a few fronts.

NAVY SEALS.")<br /><br />But an awful lot of it was really hard for me to sit through. The scenes with the old girlfriend were pretty much straight-through cringe-inducing. The whole set-up with the dead guy in the bathroom with the lights off and the old girlfriend was just awful. (It's funny because she's so dumb she thought the dead guy was her boyfriend waiting for her and pretending to be dead on the floor of the bathroom and she had sex with him and it was the best sex she ever had so that means a dead guy was a better lover than her old boyfriend. Ha ha.)<br /><br />I believe this is my candidate for Most Overrated Movie on The List.Tonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17921029597363212734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-82818607042531645812017-01-12T10:04:17.706-06:002017-01-12T10:04:17.706-06:00The acting is pretty bad except for a couple of ch...The acting is pretty bad except for a couple of characters.
