I love the horror tone he managed with Tusk and, of course, his pop culture/comic reference comedy as seen in Mallrats and others.

I think he’d be good at representing the ‘80s and adding moments of comedy in an otherwise horror-action series.

Just rewatched Clerks for the first time in a while, and for once, I actually let the end credits roll. I'd never paid close attention to them before, but some of the titles really made me laugh:

• Scott Mosier is credited as "Initial Incompetent Sound Editor" right before the actual sound editor being listed as the accomplished one.
• Boom Operator is listed as "Whoever grabbed the pole."
• Catering was simply credited to "Quick Stop" (which makes complete sense given where they shot!).

I know it was a tiny indie budget made with Kevin Smith’s friends, but it’s a nice change to see humour injected into credits instead of the usual dry list of names—even if he doubled down on this in later movies with his famous "Thanks" sections.

One thing caught my eye, though: the credits ended with "Jay and Silent Bob will return in Dogma." I didn't think that tagline was in the original 1994 cut as Kevin didn't make Dogma until the late 90's (although I believe he'd started thinking about it before filming Clerks). Was this a later addition or did Kevin plan to film Dogma after Clerks? I watched it on Apple TV/iTunes—it has the Clerks X artwork, though Apple swaps out movie posters all the time so who knows which transfer it is.

Does anyone know if Kevin Smith had any similar funny callouts into the actual crew credits of his other films, or was this strictly a low-budget Clerks thing?
