clerks 2 had a 5mil budget and grossed 25mil. (compared to a 150mil budget for transformers).. to me that makes smith look pretty damn smart. besides i think your exagerating a bit...
heres the main quote from the movie
Elias: Since God created man, and man created the Transformers, the Transformers are like a gift from God, Randal!
Randal Graves: No sir. They are not a gift from God. They are an unholy curse from the beast we call the Desolate One.
and heres smiths response when asked about it..

Can you talk about the jabs you took at "Lord of the Rings" and "Transformers" fans a little bit?
Smith: It's all in good fun. I don't even consider them jabs. It's just basically writing characters and giving them a point of view. For years people were telling me since we make all these pop culture references, I've had all these kids younger than me who were like, "Dude, you have to reference the 'Transformers.'" I did not grow up on the "Transformers," that was a cartoon that was after me. I didn't watch adventure cartoons like "Transformers" or "G.I. Joe," that was kids younger than me. I had this one dude on my Web site, this dude Omega, he's posted as Omega for years since 1995, was always going, "You need a Transformers reference in your movie." But I was like, "Dude, I have nothing to say about the Transformers." So, when I was writing this, and I was writing the Elias character I thought this is a mother fucker who would like the Transformers. It's fortuitous in terms of timing because they are now making that fucking "Transformers" movie and that trailer went live last weekend and suddenly, wow, what a timely reference.
