Spotlight: Kevin Smith

24Nov08

by The Great White Gypsy “Hello? What? No, I don’t work today. I’m playing hockey at two.” Dante could have stayed home and played hockey, but with this first line of 1994’s Clerks, he had no idea what was waiting for him. I’m sure Kevin Smith felt the same way. It is likely that [...]
