Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Most weeks the scatological profanity of Kevin Smith's belated sequel to Clerks would be tipped straight down the dumpster, but after Rabbit Fever, Dirty Sanchez and Trust The Man it seems almost likeable. Brian O'Halloran and Jeff Anderson play shiftless duo Dante and Randal, now doing time in a burger joint after their convenience store burns down. "Terrorists?" speculates Randal. (No, he'd left the sandwich toaster on again).
While the plot - should Dante make a clean break and head for Florida with his controlling fiancée? - is as limp as week-old lettuce, the script mixes in some genuine laughs with his trademark slacker nihilism, including spot-on Lord of The Rings spoofs and a running joke about Helen Keller and Anne Frank.
