he talks a lil weird. but im glad to see they managed to get him outta the walrus skinsuit. they did a marvelous job stitchin him back together
oh thank fuck they just cut to the next scene
huh it actually got a lil emotional cos dante is legit worried about him. thats sweet

randall talks about star wars to the doctor n shes just kinda like ok u keep talkin nerd
![](https://i.postimg.cc/Jzbd8Mv3/c28.png)
i feel like maybe not at this moment cos hes actively having a heart attack and that'd be a bit unfair.
but still.
oh he said "this is the way lol" i forgot to cap that
![](https://i.postimg.cc/4yqFfdXP/c29.png)
idc this isnt a quote, u stop that right now mister
![](https://i.postimg.cc/tTmBkTnb/c30.png)
wonder if randall's gonna be vegan cos ksmith is now.
he had his heart attack after starting his diet iirc but still
oh randall is loosely based on the writer/director of the film and his heart attack is based on a life event he went through. just some context
![](https://i.postimg.cc/ZqS2vCpD/c31.png)

Lou: they do look really cool and i like that they're named froggy
actually its not fair, theres NOTHING around their stores lol
yeah its a cute name
made them a lil hard to google though heh
![](https://i.postimg.cc/d1JbpL0T/c46.png)
omg the friends name is block chain...
![](https://i.postimg.cc/P5wn8gcN/c47.png)
and theyre like. who am i in the script??? and randall is like fuck you i am both luke AND han
so now dante is upset
oh elias is chewie btw.
randall also claimed lando for himself.
um oh like the star wars thing is a comparison to the types of roles theyre playing in randall film btw, hes not literally making a star wars spin off
randall's like ur dak. daks a minor character who dies in the first film and hes not very important. but i remember jack really likes him lol
![](https://i.postimg.cc/J4gW0rp9/c48.png)
![](https://i.postimg.cc/SR1bWkkY/c49.png)
one thing im a lil confused on, dante should have a child. his wife was pregnant in the second film
but they dont mention a kid anywhere. idk if she died in childbirth? oh yeah lookin at it she died the same year as II came out
![](https://i.postimg.cc/Ssq44ggR/c50.png)
![](https://i.postimg.cc/s25zbk9b/c51.png)
also hes dreaming
![](https://i.postimg.cc/GhSbDJmg/c52.png)
and i think thats a sweet message.
also its confirmed the baby died with her. her name was grace but shes not mentioned on the stone so idk maybe not viable yet?
![](https://i.postimg.cc/Dw8yppNK/c53.png)
what is this, a graveyard for vampires
![](https://i.postimg.cc/MH6z79BN/c54.png)

she actually is in the first movie so this is sorta a justified callback i guess lol? shes like taking all the milk outta the cold section
to get to the best expiry date

![](https://i.postimg.cc/QN2bdvpf/c102.png)
![](https://i.postimg.cc/7ZDng7t7/c103.png)
ok so a lot of this is straight up taken from the actual making of clerks
i think a thing i like about these films as well is you learn quite a lot about indie film making because kevin smith looooooves to talk and write and talk some more
its neat
![](https://i.postimg.cc/7ZDng7t7/c103.png)
i was today years old when i actively realised lucille ball and judy garland are not the same person.
but they are both dead.
im. not sure who this woman is
![](https://i.postimg.cc/fTYvt5CD/c104.png)
as someone who likes to pay attention to clothes in films i gotta pause the movie every three seconds at this point
![](https://i.postimg.cc/pVhCxPn9/c105.png)
then again randall's entire wardrobe is moobys merch and his work shirt
dantes like where are we gonna shoot this one scene from 2 and randalls like at the actual place and dantes like how what did u rent out the plce huh?? and randall goes ive got to set department working on it
![](https://i.postimg.cc/G2NjY56h/c106.png)
cos a course it is.
also i swear thats jays coat from dogma, hang on

![](https://i.postimg.cc/7Zymmjh5/c113.png)
![](https://i.postimg.cc/zfxy91G0/c114.png)
whats interesting here is randall's rant at dante squandering his life in his twenties is still as true in his fourties
![](https://i.postimg.cc/9zH0GmLF/c115.png)
well, he didnt squander his life, he just feels that way. dantes whole thing in 1 and i guess 3 as well is that he feels he hasnt achieved anything. randall has virtually the same life in 1 but hes dealing with it a lot better and he doesnt mind as much, whereas dante complains a lot (thus the i wasnt even supposed to be here line he says multiple times is kind of his catch phrase)
in 3 theyre very different. randall has done very little in life which he realises after his heart attack, thus inspiring his desire to make a movie. dante meanwhile has actually been through a lot, achieved a lot (they both own the store they work in now i think of it, so its not like randall hasnt done anything, he just hasnt got many close relationships) got in one meaningful relationship he unfortunately squandered, broke off an engagement to get with the woman he truly loved and then lost her and their daughter at the same time. so yeah. lotta stuff.
they get into the fight. they did in the original as well but that was a physical fight. here dante is slinging some really harsh words at randall who kinda bounces em back but he doesnt really attack him back
![](https://i.postimg.cc/G3H72k6m/c116.png)
which i think reflects on that entire essay i wrote up there. sorry for all the readin work lads so dante's like i had a life. i almost had a happy ever after and he follows it up with this line:
![](https://i.postimg.cc/Gty988J5/c118.png)
also god damn i havent seen brian o halloran in anything but view askew movies but holy fuckin shit he is really good in this
he nails the emotional scenes
ok so its clear dante went through a lot of emotional pain and feels unsupported by randall
and the making of the movie hurts him a lot cos hes reliving all his pain
god damn
![](https://i.postimg.cc/rmbKwCW4/c119.png)
the last thing he said basically was that his and randalls lives are the same, and while randall thinks its worth making a movie about to dante its all pain and failure he doesnt wanna go through again
![](https://i.postimg.cc/g0zwS0mx/c120.png)
i guess him not wearing his hat is respectful at least
![](https://i.postimg.cc/Hk4c9MDG/c121.png)
he does explain that he thinks staying in the hospital isnt gonna help dante so that sympathises his way of thinking a little
but obv he should stay
![](https://i.postimg.cc/15FN4Tv3/c122.png)
oh also the film says at the start the type a heart attack randall had is usually fatal as it kills 80% of people who have it
we dont know yet if its the same type for dante but its not lookin good :c but.. they cant, right? i hope they dont
![](https://i.postimg.cc/tJKZ2t4b/c123.png)
![](https://i.postimg.cc/1XnVGYPM/c124.png)
![](https://i.postimg.cc/4dFhhTCm/c125.png)
anyway bit a trivia for u i find interesting. lets keep watching

mainly that it smells bad.

![](https://i.postimg.cc/xd5mnztG/c129.png)
even if it doesnt seem like something ksmith would do. im just. gonna take it that way
![](https://i.postimg.cc/mrB9vwN2/c130.png)
also lol hater totz what is that shiiiiiirt
![](https://i.postimg.cc/g298Ddxh/c131.png)
randall took the time to edit the movie together which i guess made him reflect on their time together
![](https://i.postimg.cc/66md8CwY/c132.png)
dante doesnt wanna see it cos he understandably thinks its gonna make him relive his life in a way he doesnt want to
![](https://i.postimg.cc/1X26b1ML/c133.png)
i forgot mcr is from jersey, this makes a lot of sense now
![](https://i.postimg.cc/C5zkvxCG/c134.png)
![](https://i.postimg.cc/tTrFtx6R/c135.png)
![](https://i.postimg.cc/SNH7vCvJ/c136.png)
oh yeah so! the images we see on the screen are actually the original clerks. so dante is indeed the main character
