Kevin Smith wrote and directed Zack and Miri so I’m assuming this is a poorly cut trailer for Cop Out or maybe he should have written the screenplay as well as directed. The trailer shows too much of Tracy Morgan’s annoying overacting (who lost a lot of points in my book after Little Man) and …

The graph of Clerks
Posted: October 9th, 2008 by: Movie Set
What would a visual representation be of all the dialogue in a film? That’s the question that the folks at the Wattsei website asked when they broached the notion of laying out who said what in Kevin Smith’s first movie, Clerks.
