Clerks 2 and Soul Asylum

Saw Clerks II last night. Second Kevin Smith movie I'm aware of with Soul Asylum playing at the end. Now trying to decide whether Kevin Smith's use of Soul Asylum at the end of a movie inspires him to make the whole movie so good, he puts Soul Asylum at the end when he knows he's made a really good movie, or the use of Soul Asylum itself is enough to color my perceptions of the whole movie. But even the opening scene was awesome, not just the end.

The movie was a bit heavy on the Christian references and the... "alternative eroticism" or whatever he called it "interspecies erotica", but otherwise awesome.


I'll have to see it a few times just to catch everything interesting in the credits.

I want to see that movie. I'm a big Kevin Smith fan.
I always confuse Soul Asylum and Collective Soul...I know I like at least one of them.

I'm a Soul Asylum fan, but not really into Collective Soul that much. Soul Asylum's biggest hit was probably "Runaway Train" from around 1991. Chasing Amy had their song "We 3" (one of my favorites) at the end.
