Yup. He said it will be his final movie, but he's been all goofy about it. He said it may be an online only film, it could be animated, it could be a traveling show, it could be mostly fan fiction that he directs...
I can guarantee he's going to do Clerks III, and I can also guarantee he has no bleeping clue how he's going to do it.

Hasn't he said that about every movie he's done since Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back?

Not so much concerning the fan fiction stuff, which I believe is the direction he wants to go. Definitely not the direction I want him to go, but it is his movie.
And they already kinda sorta did that with their most recent animated series (not Clerks, Animated Series), which was less than stellar.
But if they do go the fan fiction route, there better damn be a scene where Jay & Bob try to board a plane
It's like reading a really dry history textbook, only it's not about real places or people. It's also really hard to follow because everyone has almost identical names (findor, son of finror, son of fingor etc.) and most of them live forever because they're elves, so you're expected to know which one is which and who he doesnt like and who hes related to 200 pages after he was last mentioned.

I can agree with this, and I've read The Silmarillion multiple times. Look, it's pretty non-essential, and in truth once you get a grip on it, it makes The Lord of the Rings look like nothing in scope, as you realize Sauron isn't anywhere near as powerful as the guy he used to work for.

I feel like reading the first section of it is worthwhile, as it gives you the creation myth and account of the early days, but after the first major battle it starts to drag; essentially you have a long section of "yeah, the bad guy's there, and the elves are there, and they skirmish, but the status quo is maintained" and this goes on for 2000 years. Then the last section gives you the end of the First Age and more information about the Second Age.
