Kevin Smith’s swan song film has passed a major hurdle. He’s finished the first draft of Clerks III.
A bit artistic really, the movie that launched his career as a filmmaker will also be the one that ends it.
In his excitement for being finished with the first draft, he posted a picture online and said the following:
“IT IS ACCOMPLISHED! First draft of CLERKS III is 137 pages. Plays like the EMPIRE STRIKES BACK of the Clerks trilogy.”
I hate to be THAT geek to Kevin Smith, but Empire was the second and ended with a gigantic cliffhanger…what are you going to do to us Mr. Smith? Oh wait, maybe he meant it’ll be the best and most cohesive of the trilogy? I’ll go with the latter.
I sit upon my throne as the owner/shogun of this site, WatchPlayRead. But it wasn't always so. I too have had blogspots, I've done other community blogs, I've even written professionally for other sites out there...yet none of them provided the content I had a real passion for.
It is then that I became tired of being a small cog in a big machine, and of writing about nothing but game news after game news article and the periphery that comes from such schlock, like knowing who Michael Pachter and Bobby Kotick are.
I decided to start MediaWhoreNetwork.com and ran up my post count there for about 2 years, commenting about any and everything that I wanted to. I even started a weekly podcast that I feel has come into its own.
It wasn't until earlier this year that I realized that having the word "whore" in your URL might be a bit limiting to my potential audience. I then made the website and its branding move over to WatchPlayRead.com.
