Clerks is on TV. It’s one of those movies 'Elise loves to watch multiple times, not only to refine her internal understanding of, but to be able to drop quotes at random parties, the better to show her Indie street cred.
She is addicted to commentary tracks on DVDs. Listening to the stories that the director and actors tell about a particularly bad day of filming, the inspiration behind a particular scene, the camaraderie that developed over the course of the project; it all lends a new dimension to the movie. It’s similar to how, back in high school, 'Elise would read books and then find the Cliff’s Notes for the work of literature, just to find out more about the back story; her mother suggested this obsession was because she was too lazy to come up with analysis of her own. But 'Elise loves to hear about the internal process of the writer as he comes up with the story, to feel a like she is present for the literary process. She loves to hear her own theories validated, or else to be presented with a new scenario she had not thought of. 'Elise seeks out entertainment with layers hidden within layers, onion stories for the onion girl.
