Recommendations

Tis to share my love of Kevin Smith's movie. I was hocked after Alex showed me "clerks" which he find, and I agree, to be a deeply existential movie. I was moved, because in a very depressing way, that's my life. Hey, I see all sorts in my line of work as a customer service officer.

Another reason I like his movie is because of all the recurring themes I like, homosexuality, religion, vulgarity...

Kevin Smith is an incredibly funny man and his story is the source of many a young artist inspiration. Check them out:

Clerks (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0109445/ )
Mallrats (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0113749/)
Chasing Amy (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118842/)
Dogma ( http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120655/)
Jay and silent bob strike back (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0261392/)
Clerks 2 ( http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0424345/)

Also on my list of recommendations is the online comic strip: Sinfest
It's just the best. Calvin and Hobbes is well regarded by many as the best published comic strip ever. Well, Sinfest is too naughty to be published but I like them both equally. Calvin and Hobbes makes me feel and slow down, Sinfest makes me ponder and want to kick some ass.
