Clerks 2

[Vex]

Yeah, but Clerks is synonomous with black and white, and low budget, and being a cult film, and stuff.

I realize that. I'm just glad that Randal will be in this movie. He was definitely what made "Clerks" work. Jay and Silent Bob were great support though.

Jersey Girl was the only truely lame movie he has done.

I don't think you can blame Kevin entirely for that one... I've seen the original cut of the movie and it's actually much better than the butchered version that was eventually released. He had the misfortune of casting Jennifer Lopez alongside Ben Affleck just as their relationship was starting and the whole "Bennifer" thing had truly kicked off... by the time the movie was ready to come out everyone and their dog hated the amount of press coverage "Bennifer" was getting and Gigli has pretty sealed the fate of any movie that starred the two! Unfortunately it was decided to cut Jersey Girl and promote it as a "Jennifer Lopez dies in the first ten minutes" movie... which in the original was not true she was in for a good hour and she had a real character, dare I say it - a likeable character. And the original intention was to keep her death a secret so it came as a shock - and not, as it turned out, a marketing point! Still I don't think the movie was that bad - even the theatrical cut tells a good story and the more I watch it the more I like it.

Anyway onto...



... I think all the people who are against a sequel to Clerks being made will be pleasantly surprised come July 21st. The trailers don't really go into the actual plot of the film (well there is one trailer that has a line of dialogue that almost gives it away) and there is a really nice heartfelt story in the movie (it's not all Donkey shows and Rosario Dawson jiggling... not that they hurt the movie)!

I know it won't be able to touch the original, but I still can't wait to see it.

Black and White

I will be seeing this film on opening night like the good fanboy I am...

Personally I don't think Black and White or color make much of a difference in his films. I "watch" his films for the dialogue more than anything else, I can put on one of his movies and just listen to it and be amused. Like he always says, "My movies look like crap".

Just my thoughts.

And if you ever get a chance, go to one of his Q&A sessions. It's absolutely hilarious, he went on for an extra 4 hours after the scheduled end time. It was so late all the busses had stopped running and I had to call a cab to pick me up.

i actually liked jersey girl. not for being a Kevin Smith movie (because for the most part it doesnt feel like one of his, likely due to the absence of J&SB). I'm not a single father, but i do have a young daughter and i dont know, i just really appreciate it and find it enjoyable. I'd love to see the original cut...didnt know there was a diff version.


As for clerks 2, well i love all the J&SB movies, especially strike back!! But i hope this one doesnt turn into another J&SB movies. I hope it sticks more to the original of having them in minor supporting roles and nothing more. otherwise it doesnt deserve the title of clerks.
