I sat down in my window seat¹ with the best of intentions. I had a couple of books downloaded ² and some work to do.

The crew handed out the headphones. I decided to check out the movies instead of following through with my best of intentions. Which critical masterpiece did I choose?

Clerks 3.³

While not a great movie, Clerks 3 proved to be familiar⁴, crude and exactly how a flight should be spent. I enjoyed the movie; I enjoyed the movie more because I was on a plane without access to emails, streams and threads…⁵

I don’t want to oversell Clerks 3, but it turned impactful⁶ at a certain point. Though the movie doesn’t stand on it’s own and has the nuance of a brick I believe Kevin Smith had the best of intentions and he followed through.
