Clerks 2

[conor.]

www.clerks2.com

teaser released today. also if you havent kept up with it theres been a video diary ala king kong style with smith and the crew throughout the filming.

i had my doubts when it was confirmed a year and a half ago, but after seeing the diary of smith showing the movie to tarantino and rodriguez i started to feel better, and after watching the teaser i think itll actionally turn out to be a good sequel, although the whole moobys plot might not be the best (honestly i just wish it were back in quickstop/video store the whole time)

[Run CMB]

Should be in black and white, IMO.

[That Jerk]

it seems tarantino and rodriguez love just about everything though.

But that was a good teaser, so I'm excited.

[Jolly Bengali]

What sort of trailer ruins the cameos, as predictable as they were?

Anyways yeah could be good, could be terrible. Reserving judgment for the full trailer

[kuumuus]

looks goddamn awful and colorful.

yet it still could be really funny.

[conor.]

this just in:

milhouse going to see kevin smith in indy feb. 2nd. hes expected to show clips from clerks 2 and do a large Q & A (as seen in an evening with kevin smith)

can not wait.

[Jamie]

Too much Jay & Silent Bob

[The General]

Too much Jay & Silent Bob

Agreed...

[gravymaster]

That teaser sucks.

What the hell happened to Smith retiring the View Askewniverse characters and moving on? I mean, I love their movies as much as the next guy, but with one failure in Jersey Girl and he falls right back on them? Meh.

[conor.]

theres also a note on view askew about a possibly "dogma sequel"

only flick which deserves a sequel is clerks past that=overkill

[Kamerica]

One reason Smith is doing this film is because he promised Jason Mewes that he would give him another opportuntity to play Jay if he went through rehab.

Hopefully he won't get wrapped up in the characters again and refuse to diffirentiate from the Jersey Trilogy characters.

[gravymaster]

I like Kevin Smith...I really do. But these triple dipped DVD releases and dumb sequels are making it hard.

[Wonderboy]

Nice Silence Of The Lambs parody, made me track down that song.

[bluemoose]

Looks like it could go either way (that is, funny/not funny).

And why in color? They should have kept it black and white.

[Faaip de Oiad]

And why in color? They should have kept it black and white.
The movie will be in black & white until Dante and Randal get fired from the quick stop and R.T.S. video and start working at Mooby's

[box elder]

the way i see it, smith's films have gotten steadily worse each time out (in a metaphorical staircase of quality, if you will), so i don't see why this one should be any different just because it attempts to latch on to his best movie.

[George]

I haven't watched 1, but I've been hearing a lot about the films, so i suppose I'll watch this one, to see what all the comotion is about.

[Faaip de Oiad]

^Rent clerks first because clerks 2 is going to be packed full of call backs to the first one
and other films in the series.

[conor.]

Good to see Scott fits in a cameo there

[pat]

I haven't watched 1, but I've been hearing a lot about the films, so i suppose I'll watch this one, to see what all the comotion is about.
yeah, you really do need to see the first clerks before seeing this. and since they're all connected to each other, you should watch mallrats and chasing amy too.

[gravymaster]

After looking at my comments earlier in this thread, I don't think I've been fair to this film. I'm honestly getting pretty pumped about it..

[Kuje]

Wow, Kev got fat.

I loved Clerks, didn't like Mallrats. I'll try and see Chasing Amy before I see this.

[George]

yeah, you really do need to see the first clerks before seeing this. and since they're all connected to each other, you should watch mallrats and chasing amy too.

i've seen chasing amy, doesn't really fit in with the style of clerks (from what i've seen of the c2 trailer) apart from jason lee's starring in both. mallrats, again, i've heard a lot about, mostly from that jason lee thread a while back. so can someone explain this to me: are they a saga?

[pat]

they're not really a saga... they're what smith calls the "new jersey trilogy". the three movies are three different stories. they aren't related to each other, but once in awhile they refer to the other movies since they all take place in the same setting at around the same time. so it helps to see all three to get a better understanding of clerks 2.

[Faaip de Oiad]

Its not really a saga the only way they are linked is that they all take place in New Jersey and Jay and Silent Bob are in all of um.





^Sorry about posting this I should have hit refresh first

[George]

i sort of understand that. smith being the writer/director of the films? they obviously have to be written by the same person, right?

[pat]

yeah, smith wrote all of the films he directed.

and i have to echo what gravy said too... i thought at first clerks 2 was unneeded and unnecessary. still kinda is, but i'm getting excited about it myself. it looks like they could pull it off and it'll be a worthy sequel.

[Rowdy]

He hasn't been on the ball since Chasing Amy though...........Dogma blew........the only funny stuff in Jay and Silent Bob were the metareferences.........Jersey Girl tanked at the box office (although I actually liked it).........so yeah, don't have too high of hopes for this, but hey, it's Clerks.

[Wall E. Weasel]

Wow, Kev got fat.
got fat?

[Rowdy]

He must've meant to type fatTER. Guess someone has been hanging around Mooby's too often.

[bluemoose]

The movie will be in black & white until Dante and Randal get fired from the quick stop and R.T.S. video and start working at Mooby's

That makes sense. At least they didn't make the quick stop color.

[thecapecoddah]

the theatrical trailer's now online :headbang - http://www.apple.com/trailers/weinstein/clerks2/trailer2/

[gravymaster]

Fuck yes!

"With no Power, comes no responsibility" is a great tag line.

That Silence of the Lambs part at the end of the trailer is fucking great.

[Sniper Squirrel]

it looks somewhat promising, I've liked everything pre jersey girl, so I'll definitely watch

[Ihaveblink]

:)

[caribou]

Randal suddenly looks like Matthew Lillard.

Looks awesome, though.

[Snowball13]

I can't wait for it! I've been waiting for like 2 years...I love Kevin Smith movies...although I didn't see Jersey Girl for...Liv Tyler reasons...but I have all the other Smith movies and I have Clerks the cartoon series (a great addition to any collection..) Although I will miss the "I'm not even supposed to be here today" line...

[gravymaster]

"it's the greatest thing i've ever written....not that, that's sayin much..."
-kevin smith
I don't know, because I haven't seen it yet, but I doubt this. He may think that now, but I think Chasing Amy is the best thing he has ever written....and I probably will still think that after seeing Clerks 2.

ill be happy if its betterr than jersey girl. which shouldnt be hard at all.

[gravymaster]

ill be happy if its betterr than jersey girl. which shouldnt be hard at all.
I don't really have a big problem with Jersey Girl. It is just, like, a nice movie about a father and child. The problem was, it didn't have all the characters people know and love, so I guess it didn't...stick with them?

[Tomacco]

I love Clerks, but that trailer didn't make me look forward to this.

[gravymaster]

2 days away.

I don't know if anyone has heard about it, but Joel Siegel was at the NYC Critics viewing of Clerks 2 and walked out 40 minutes in, yelling about how the movie was "fucking disgusting" and "the first movie I have walked out of in 30 years". What a fucking asshole.

Now, here is where the story gets a whole lot better. Kevin wrote a long blog about this situation on his myspace page, and was on Opie and Anthony today talking about Siegel. One of O&A's producers got Siegel on the line to defend himself, and Smith fucking bitch slapped him. Fucking AWESOME audio. My hat's off to Kevin for this. Listen here:

http://www.viewaskew.com/kevin/joelsiegel.mp3

[pat]

hahahah, that was priceless when siegel finally found out he was talking to kevin.

my respect for kevin just went up about ten notches.

[Wonderboy]

I read about that, but I haven't heard the audio confrontation, thanks. That was pretty funny, the guy is a dip shit, but he took the beating well.

I love Clerks, but that trailer didn't make me look forward to this.
I agree, but I'm sure that the funniest parts in the film aren't/couldn't be shown in the trailer.

[gravymaster]

I agree, but I'm sure that the funniest parts in the film aren't/couldn't be shown in the trailer.
And SHOULDN'T.

[kuumuus]

"pun pun pun gay porn moustache pun pun pun"

aside from smith calling him unprofessional for 10 minutes straight, that was hilarious. i don't even think siegel realized they were ripping him to pieces during the entire segment. at the end he was politely saying goodbye and shit

[pat]

"thanks for not pussying out"
"whatever that means"

Which just goes to show he is a horse's ass and senile.

[mayo]

joel siegel is a giant douche. his douche tactics have made me want to see this movie even more.

thanks asshole!

[mike_donnelly]

wasn't the thing that was interesting about the original Clerks was seeing all of those things happen in the 1 day. So having another day is redundant.

[gravymaster]

wasn't the thing that was interesting about the original Clerks was seeing all of those things happen in the 1 day. So having another day is redundant.
Why, because they show another day? If that's the case, all sequels to all original movies are redundant.

[Tomacco]

I listened to that audio earlier today. Man, that was hilarious! Seigel is such a whiny little child.

[Jim Jones]

I'm looking forward a lot. I'm gonna see it with all my friends.

Should be in black and white, IMO.

Kevin himself has stated if he had the money, Clerks would have been in color, so there is no chance in hell this movie would be in black and white.

[box elder]

Kevin himself has stated if he had the money, Clerks would have been in color


even more proof that Clerks was a fluke, and everything Smith did right was an accident :-X

[conor.]

midnight showing tonight.

wow that is so good.

"a human being doesnt get out a yell when he's living a movie"

"joel are you going blueberry picking with catherine hepburn?"
"It's a movie reference that he doesnt get"

[mike_donnelly]

well Dante's line - "i shouldn't even be here today" would not work if the film was spread out over a few days. he would just seem like he is complaining, but because it all happens on one day it makes sense.

[Green_Peaness]

Meh...I didn't like that interview. That was no battle of wits, it was Kevin Smith harping over a petty little thing, with a bunch of other guys laughing about Joel Siegel's age and writing style while not even letting him speak. It seems mean-spirited, classless and undeserved to me...more like a bunch of teenagers bullying an old man instead of someone actually getting owned.

well, to be fair, Siegel's being disruptive at the screening was rude and unprofessional, so it isn't like he's a poor innocent victim here. but i did think the clip dragged on a little long with smith basically just saying "it was unprofessional" over and over again.

[Isaac]

I plan on seeing it at one point. Not sure if it will be shown in theaters locally, though.

[Ihaveblink]

So did anyone do the myspace thing where you get your name in the credits? Mine should be in it.

[aoife]

I just listened to the Kevin Smith vs, Joel Seagal radio bit.
I agree with Kevin, Joel and his moustache need to retire. :fozzie:

[Red Right]

Saw it . It's pretty great. Right up there with Chasing Amy and the first Clerks.

8/10

[lolpenis_taco]

FUCKING. AWESOME.

Dante's romantic subplot isn't nearly as funny as the original's and it tends to drag the movie a bit. Other than that, I thought it was fantastic. Randal's debate on Star Wars' superiority to the Lord of the Rings trilogy is hilarious. Funniest movie I have seen in a long, long time. Also the best film I've seen so far this year. Loved it from start to finish.

[Wonderboy]

All I can say is I really loved this movie.

[nathaniel]

i wish i could deliver a print of this movie, via time machine, to my 15 year old self. as is, i cant possibly imagine ever wanting to see this shit. and didnt kevin smith promise to end these movies after the horrendous jay & silent bob strike back?

jersey girl must have made this nigga broke as hell

jersey girl must have made this nigga broke as hell

WTF? Jay and silent bob strike back is a classic! And so is this movie.

Top 3 lines:
"I prefer the term 'human-animal erotica'"
"There is no chick, FUCK"
"I miss my donkey"

[nathaniel]

uh even if you love that piece of shit to death, you have to admit its his 5th best movie at best, and not a classic by any definition of the word

but i mean, i'm arguing with a guy with a weird al avatar, so..

[Sloppy Jimbo IV]

i remember seeing jay and silent bob and wishing i wasnt born

i shouldve been wishing kevin smith wasnt born, logically but i thought his other movies were pretty good

[nathaniel]

i can still watch mallrats cause of the jason lee thing. though the hugely disappointing 'my name is earl' is making his charm wane fast for me

[Voodoo Monkey]

My thoughts...

-If you go into this expecting something on the level of the original Clerks, you'll be disappointed. If you go expecting something that's meant for a wide, commercial audience, but still definitely a Kevin Smith film, you'll be fine.

-My main problem with the film (I can overlook the single plot hole) was the pacing, which contributed to the film being WAY too short. They spend 20 minutes or so on the climatic scene (which is done PERFECTLY, each joke funnier than the last), maybe 15 on the immediate aftermath, and then, poof, the movie's over, and it's only been 90 minutes.

-The BEST thing about the movie, on the other hand, was (or were) Jay and Silent Bob. It's unbelievably easy to write for those guys, and a nice twist was thrown in this time.

-As for humour, it's different. The original Clerks had the 'contractors on the Death Star' argument, and Randall reading the list of porn films in front of the 5-year-old. Here, the arguments were over ass-to-mouth (which lasts all of two minutes, and they manage to miss THE most obvious setup for a callback later on...), and LOTR vs. Star Wars (which wasn't all that good). However, the two running jokes (Anne Frank and porch monkeys) worked great.

-Some of the dialogue seemed straight out of the playbook of a Seinfeld or Corner Gas. Dunno if that's a good or bad thing.

-Kevin Smith has the right idea in liking Canadian culture, but he's picking the worst examples. First it was Degrassi, now Alanis Morissette???

[lolpenis_taco]

they manage to miss THE most obvious setup for a callback later on...

Where is that at?

[Voodoo Monkey]

As soon as I knew there was a donkey, I thought they'd have an "ass to mouth" reference. How can you not?

[gravymaster]

though the hugely disappointing 'my name is earl' is making his charm wane fast for me
I've never watched My Name is Earl, but most people seem to love it. If it wasn't raved about and talked about the way it is, would you feel this way about it?

Probably going to see clerks tomorrow morning. Can't fucking wait.

[Dead Nigga Storage]

i cannot for the life of me understand any of the appeal to these movies.

[Tomacco]

I thought it was really funny. Jay, Bob, Dante and Randall are the only Smith characters I've ever truly liked.

[gravymaster]

Not Brodie or Banky?? For shame.

[pat]

going to see this at 2:25. also going to be the first time i've ever gone to the movies by myself, but since all my friends are busy or out of town and i badly want to see this, it won't make a difference.

[Red Right]

i can still watch mallrats cause of the jason lee thing. though the hugely disappointing 'my name is earl' is making his charm wane fast for me
Hmm, perhaps you're forgetting about Joey Lauren Adam's boobs?

[pat]

just got back. totally not what i expected. i thought at first it would be just another clerks, but it was a fresh installment to the saga. on one hand, it is just clerks with a bit more of a dramatic touch to it. on the other hand, it goes to show how far kevin smith has come as a filmmaker. it managed to be heartfelt while at the same time still being hilarious, sometimes even grossly hilarious; such as the..."interspecies erotica" scene at mooby's

outstanding. i'd go as far as saying it's almost as good as the original, albeit in a different way.

-Kevin Smith has the right idea in liking Canadian culture, but he's picking the worst examples. First it was Degrassi, now Alanis Morissette???
well... alanis was in dogma, you know. so it's not the first time she's been used in some way.

[nathaniel]

I've never watched My Name is Earl, but most people seem to love it. If it wasn't raved about and talked about the way it is, would you feel this way about it?

everyone ive talk to about it has about the same opinion as me. "yeah.. mediocre show i sit through before the office comes on sometimes." havent heard too many raves

[CMQ]

Phenomenally funny. Pretty much everything I would expect of a Kevin Smith movie - amazing dialogue, interesting characters, unique situations, typical conversations, and a ton of irreverent humor. I loved the little little references to things like GoBots and C.H.U.D. I know a good portion of the theather - the 14 year olds - didn't get a lot of those jokes, but they were subtle and they were good

[homer5000]

It was neat to see a Kevin Smith film in theatres finally. (Jersey Girl does not count) I had just gotten into his films about a year after Jay and Silent Bob SB came out (my sister and I loved Dogma and watched it quite a few times in '99-01, though)...and I really wanted to watch one of his films with a full audience.

I mean, can you imagine sitting through the original Clerks back in '94 (when I was eight) with a full house? Well, today, I came just as close. The audience applauded for Jay and Silent Bob, and cracked up at almost every single joke, which was a consequence due to the broken sound system that drowned the sound out for the first fourty minutes of the movie. (I'm sure because of us laughing so hard we probably missed thirty good jokes) The writing seemed to combine the insight of Chasing Amy (which I still argue is not a comedy, but a drama) with the conventional style of Mallrats and Jay & Silent Bob Strikes Back (the ABC musical dance number, anyone?) with the controversial talk of Dogma (porch monkey 4 life) with...Clerks. A perfect blend of Kevin Smith's films.

Just the way I wanted it...

[pat]

full audience.

full house
heh... i went in the afternoon, i was one of four people in the entire theater. quite a contrast.

[Mr. Plow]

I went to a 9 PM showing and the place was almost a full house with a few open seats here and there. I thought it was a very funny movie, with Randal and Jay and Bob being the highlights of the movie. They were my favorites from the first one as well. A couple things bothered me like some people have already mentioned, but the laugh out loud moments make up for it. The crowd was all over J&SB, Randal and Elias and the donkey scene. I have to say though that I think Smith should grow up as a director and take on The Green Hornet next. He's already written it, so he should direct it. It will really prove if he's a real time director or a director who can only make films based on pop culture, sexual inuendo and characters he created 10 years ago. These characters are great, but it's time for something new. Except for an animated Clerks movie which was promised awhile ago. I would still like to see that because I have the old series on DVD and it's still hilarious.

[sweetmercifulcrap]

It was great, just like everyone said.

But, Mr. Plow, kevin smith isn't THAT talanted. That pop culture, sexual inuendo thing you talk about is about as good as he can do. Even he knows that, and admits that...Jersey girl? Clerks came at the perfect time, it broke "mainstream" indie films in 94 when other cult indie films (pulp fiction) were doing the same thing. Purely good luck and I think he should stick to what he's doing. With new characters, new sexual inuendos, and more donkey shows.

[morbot]

I enjoyed this film... for very differen't reasons that I like the original Clerks.

The original Clerks was accidental genious, you can rarely duplicate that. Clerks II is much more mainstream, sex jokes and offensive word humor... but I found myself laughing along to most the movie.

It was enjoyable... and I was glad to see the old characters from Clerks that I like so much... but it was clearly a different style of movie from the first Clerks.

[Dead Nigga Storage]

that nostalgic cliche i saw today at the end of the movie before the credits pissed me off. "today is the first day of the rest of our lives"...seriously, that was pretty damn lame.

[lolpenis_taco]

The final shot with the milk lady almost brought a tear to my eye, Clerks being the first Smith movie I ever watched, leading to a Smith fanaticism. Struck a nostalgic, almost emotionally, chord with me. Beautiful moment. Edit: I swear to God I'm not gay.

[Run CMB]

that nostalgic cliche i saw today at the end of the movie before the credits pissed me off. "today is the first day of the rest of our lives"...seriously, that was pretty damn lame.
Kevin Smith just does not know how to end a movie.

[Jolly Bengali]

I truly fucking loved the movie; minus an awkward scene or two (mostly Scwalbach-related, his wife really can't act and shouldn't be in his movies) it was close to perfection. Took everything that made "Clerks" what it was - the on-the-dime turns from vulgarity to seriousness to wackiness, the Dante-Randal friendship, etc. - and just made it bigger and classier. Truly well-written, fun, funny, and altogether good movie.

[boogie down mikel]

the ending really worked to me to be honest im totally with whisman here on it

all in all i loved the mvoie and im glad kev's wife was kept to a minimum....she should have just been used for hand gestures like in j&sbsb

[Dead Nigga Storage]

i'm not talking about whether or not it was forced or honest or not, it was just possibly THE biggest cliche line in the history of cliche lines.

[Mr. Plow]

Maybe your right, sweetmercifulcrap. He's great at delivering laughs with this movie, but I thought he did a pretty good job making Dogma and Chasing Amy as more well rounded films with a good story, dialogue, comedy and drama. I think he has potential to making better overall films, not just sex jokes and J&SB.

The plot for this movie isn't original, but it doesn't matter because it's made to make people laugh. And when the film slows down to have serious scenes with Dante and his manager and fiance, the movie really boggs down for me. Clerks II is not Smith's best work (which I believe he stated in an interview that he thought it was). The movie feels really short, and it gets really dramatic at the end with Dante and Randal, which, as Randal would put it in his words, is so gay because we just want to see these characters talk about Star Wars and ass to mouth and not how they love each other in a hetero way. Clerks is still supreme, but Chasing Amy and Dogma are right there in my book because he used a lot of time to make those movie with enough laughs, drama and use of a great story. I think Smith can be a good filmmaker. After Jersey Girl, I suppose he just wants to stick with what he's good at. Can't blame him, but I still would like to see a Green Hornet movie.

[Jolly Bengali]

I disagree that all I want to see is Star Wars and ass to mouth; if Clerks really is your favorite, you like it for far different reasons than me. I love the geek discussions (which were resurrected in full glee this time around, also), but at the same time there was so much simmering dramatic material throughout Clerks, that came to the forefront in very controlled doses that made the entire picture legitimate and meaningful. And all of that is allowed to fully flourish here, and it works beautifully. This was so true spiritually to everything in the first film, and I really don't mind that the dramatic parts were allowed a bit more of a spotlight; after all, it's ten years later, and a bit more seriousness should be allowed to enter the proceedings.

Edit: That being said... I'll agree that the fiance-Rosario-Dante portions were the weakest in the film; but Dante-Rosario wasn't weak, and what it fueled in terms of Dante-Randal seriousness was pure gold (and those parts were basically flawless.)

[Selfish Mongoose]

Is there anyway to not show Gilmore's posts. Reading them makes me want to commit mass genocide.


-Pillow pants was a little overrated.
-The dance scene with the nun and about 20 other people was not needed .
-I loved that there was only 2 or 3 call backs/ref. to past movies.
-The "danger danger, my shitty acting is ruining saga" was a little hard to watch
-I think a lot of people missed the scene where Randal and Dante are running outside to talk about the pregnancy that Elias has a piece of paper duct taped on his back that say "porch monkey 4 life".
- Taking back porch monkey/Randal's grandmother was a racist and the Star Wars vs. LotR conversation was two of the best scenes Smith has ever wrote.


With all that said:
1. Chasing Amy
2. Clerks
3. Clerks 2
4. Mallrats
5. Dogma
6. JSBSB

[Wonderboy]

Funny you should post that since the theme was used during the Pillow Pants scene.

[conor.]

just got back from my second showing and enjoyed it even more this time (first showing on friday it was so crowded and people would laugh way too much and it would allow me to miss some jokes)

really didnt like the emma character, i dont know how she was randomly in mooby's during the donkey show scene either.

randal was just flat out amazing, from his look during the pillow pants sequence to the porch monkey stuff flat out great. I really enjoyed seeing the softer side of randal when they went to ride go carts.

the becky character was better than emma but stil not caitlan enough for me. i didnt enjoy the whole love triangle subplot but then again i dont think i ever have.

the ending was probaly the best ending to a comedy movie i've seen in a while, the fade out into black and white and to see smith's mom reprising her role as the milk man.

throughout the whole movie i was waiting for silent bob to have some profound dialogue and after he poked fun at jay i was satisfied. the silence of the lambs spoofs were dead on and amazing.

overall i thought it was one of the best movies ive seen in a long time, and probaly the best sequel to a comedy movie ever.

also did anyone stay for the credits? some of the thanks you's were really funny.

[Jolly Bengali]

[Brad Clarke]

the movie was great, I acctually thought it was better than you me and dupree, and it was sold out all weekend, in teh tehater i work in, lol I had to kick so many kids out of this movie when I was ushering because there was just so much swearing, I mean common Im fine with every other rated R movie but kids under 15 shoul;d not be seeing this movie, without there parents, I kicked out a 13 year old and two 14 year olds, probally because most adults donot know that this movie should be called "clerks 2: fucking pillow pants" to tell the parents not to let there kids see this movie, but thats just way to big of a name to fit on the l.e.d ticker. :P

the movie was great, I acctually thought it was better than you me and dupree, and it was sold out all weekend, in teh tehater i work in, lol I had to kick so many kids out of this movie when I was ushering because there was just so much swearing, I mean common Im fine with every other rated R movie but kids under 15 shoul;d not be seeing this movie, without there parents, I kicked out a 13 year old and two 14 year olds, probally because most adults donot know that this movie should be called "clerks 2: fucking pillow pants" to tell the parents not to let there kids see this movie, but thats just way to big of a name to fit on the l.e.d ticker. :P

so you thought going in that this movie was better than you, me, and dupree, and you are depriving kids of seeing such a glorious movie? GET OUT.

-I think a lot of people missed the scene where Randal and Dante are running outside to talk about the pregnancy that Elias has a piece of paper duct taped on his back that say "porch monkey 4 life".


Funny, because he had that on his back when Dante went in to tell him the news. Most people at the show I went to noticed it then, so if they laughed when it was revealed, I'd guess most didn't laugh the 2nd time it was seen.

I thought this was a great movie. The best comedy I've seen in awhile. Mallrats is still my favorite Kevin Smith movie though.

I watched it last night and I was impressed overall. That scene with Randal and Dante talking about the pregancy is way over done. The spinning camera was annoying as hell. It wasn't as good as the first, but I didn't expect it to be. Pretty good, though.

i actionally really enjoyed the camera movement in that scene maybe just the geek in me?

[sweetmercifulcrap]

The spinning camera was overkill. Made me dizzy, and that's a problem...

[Jolly Bengali]

Better than the actors physically walking around in a circle, like in "Sith"

And it made the scene even more tense/exciting; tipped you off that this was some really important stuff going on. Totally with you Milhouse

Was it just me, or was Rosario Dawson in the dance scene one of the most attractrive things I've seen.

that aside, it was a very funny movie. Clerks was a classic, so comparing it to the original is hardly fair. probably what clerks would have been like if Smith had more money.

[gravymaster]

awesome awesome awesome awesome awesome!!! 10/10, 4 stars, all that jazz. Amazing. Loved every minute of it. Give the Oscar to Randal.

seconded.

i honestly found her 5 times more attractive leaving the mvoie as i did going in

[sweetmercifulcrap]

Kevin smith said the only reason for that dance scene was because no one else before him had shown her tits like that. They're truly amazing tits.

I just fast foward through the On Demand version for that.

The woman is fucking incredible. When she was dancing on the roof, I was smiling because of how cute and beautiful she was. Now that is a fucking hot girl.

finally saw it tonight and i was very impressed. it's been a while since i actually couldn't control my laughter during a movie. not smith's best film, but still very good. i've always found his movies to have at least one cringe worthy scene where the dialogue feels manufactured/labored/etc. this one had plenty, especially in the more "romantic" scenes (not to give anything way). also, elias had too much camera time for such a … throw away character whose purpose is mainly for others to play off of ... he was really only useful as a comedic device towards the end of the film, when they quit with the transformer/bible thumping jokes. donkey scene had me laughing my ass off ...

with that bitching aside, brilliant move casting rosario as becky. in terms of acting, she stole the show. not comedically, but in delivery. she saved some poor emotional development with a quality performance. definitely want to see this film again .. and that surprises me since i didn’t have very high expectations before i saw it.

Saw it last night. Loved it. Very, very, very, very funny. Does anyone know where I can get a list of all the people in the myspace credits?

Great Great movie, so it two nights ago and there was a good amount of people there too. It still had alot of the elements from the first Clerks but was unique in its own right. I didn't really like the dance number but I agree with those of you who mentioned Rosario being beautiful, she came off as very cute with like perfect tits, haha. The climax of the movie with the Donkey Show was flawless with excellent jokes such as the black police officer walking in and seeing Porch Monkey on Randals shirt. I loved the ending with them opening up the Quickstop again and going back to black and white, the milk maid was a great call back. Excellent movie 10/10
