“The Chalkening” is a thing where people draw chalk messages in support of Donald Trump‘s 2016 United States presidency campaign.

Opponents retorted with fake-PTSD -style reactions, and use words like “troll”, “hate” and “violence”. Because of chalk.

I have to go see a therapist because I saw some chalk in a certain pattern. It was horrifying! Freedom is bad, take it away from everyone (but me of course). — Horrible homilies

Every time the beautiful Regina rejects his advances, James pushes a red button and tries again, all the while unaware of the reality and consequences of his actions.

Directed by Devon Avery.

Short and funny.

I’ve watched this a few times..

A guy, trying to finally pull his life together, has it ruined by a woman who forces him into fatherhood.

Very funny, but ultimately dark as hell.

  • Properly titled Clerks II
  • The woman in the poster is in the movie. I assume they photoshopped some cracker onto her.

A comedic commentary of Aeon Flux – (2005 movie).

Although amusing and with a few laugh-out-loud moments, this is mostly a waste of time. The RiffTrax concept might be nice for either fans or haters of a film, but this RiffTrax of this movie was not particularly entertaining to me. I’ll likely get into other RiffTrax’s later, so perhaps my opinion will change, but for now I don’t recommend this.

Stuck at a dead-end job, a guy ignores his girlfriend’s nagging until she uses an old high school enemy to push his buttons.

I’m really really happy this series didn’t get approval. This pilot is a steaming pile of shit. It has nothing to do with Clerks – (1994 movie) and so it cannot build on its mystique, and it isn’t even particularly original or interesting on its own.

  • This is the single pilot episode. The full series was never produced.
  • Kevin Smith, the author of Clerks – (1994 movie) was unaware of this proposed TV show until its casting was under way, during his production of Mallrats – (1995 movie)
  • Properly titled Clerks. (with a trailing period) or more sensibly Clerks: The TV Show

Instead of being allowed to sleep in on his day off, a man is called in to work an extra shift at his convenience store job, and his day goes to complete shit.

The acting is a little halted in places, since these are mostly or perhaps entirely first-timers, but the writing is spectacular. It’s got great flow and style, and is hilarious and memorable.

I first rented this as a VHS tape back in the day, and was immediately impressed. I’m glad this movie, and its author, have done well.

A child with an allergy to peanuts hallucinates an indian statue as Tonto telling him a story with the Lone Ranger.

Johnny Depp has started taking terrible cornball roles, and this movie is a steaming pile of shit. His native-American character feels cringeworthingly blackface-esque. I can see how the occasional comedic bit can make a movie fun, but the entire spirit of this movie feels just a touch too serious for there to be the right comedy-adventure feeling like that in Pirates of the Caribbean꞉ The Curse of the Black Pearl – (2003 movie).

When attacked, an idiot stoner learns he has training he never knew he had.

An unintellectual fluffy bubblegum action movie. Easy on the brain and good for the common man. Not a spy movie as such. Recommended for beers and popcorn with friends. Still worth a watch for others who can just barely tolerate such brain-candy.
