A few weeks ago, I received a weird email from local stand-up comic James Nghiem. He and some comedy buddies attempted to make a shot-by-shot remake of Clerks and he wanted me to know about it.
My first response to James should have been why would you want to remake Clerks? Was there not a better overrated movie available? My 2nd grade play — Betsy Ross and the American Flag — had better acting than Clerks. Then again, maybe that's why he chose Clerks. The acting in that film is so bad he wouldn't have trouble duplicating it. Plus, he could finally use the black and white filter on his camera.
