"Clerks II" opens this coming Friday

[Zomby Woof]

Just saw the trailer while watching Colbert.

Not impressed with the critic's blurb that "It's the funniest movie since The Wedding Crashers". Hell, after suffering through the first half of that load of shit on HBO last night before mercifully changing the channel, it can't be hard to overcome those low expectations. Even Mallrats is better than that dreck.

Anyone else interested in seeing Kevin Smith bringing Dante and the others to the cusp of middle age?

1. I like Kevin Smith

and I enjoyed Clerks a bunch. But, I'm waiting for dvd for Clerks II...I have no opinion of Wedding Crashers, I haven't seen it, but I usually avoid anything with Owen Wilson, or Will Ferrel...I believe, they are, not funny.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

2. I'm really excited. I'll probably see it Friday.

Kevin Smith is a hero amongst many 20something people in NJ.

[TommyO]

19. Even some of us 40-somethings!

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

20. My stepdad loves Clerks and he's in his 50s even.

Actually, he always assumed it was something really stupid, but then for some reason, my DVD player ended up at his condo and one of his DVD players ended up in by room. :shrug: So that's how he ended up seeing "Clerks" and he loved it. Now the "Clerks" DVD is at the CT cabin. Add that to all the apartments I've lived in and that DVD has gone on quite a journey.

3. I loved Clerks

but from all the reviews i've seen, it's sequel is crap.

[LeighAnn]

28. SEQUEL NOT CRAP! I repeat, SEQUEL NOT CRAP!!!

Good show!

If you say you loved Clerks, I promise you will not be disappointed with this sequel. The trailers do not do it justice. The critics (those who are criticizing) are prudes. LOLOLOLOLOLOL HAHAHAHAHA funny. From beginning to end. And touching. You'll laugh. You'll cry!

Waste no more time, get to a theater and see this movie!

Edited to all-caps the title

4. 10 years ago I would have been interested but Kevin Smith stuff

doesn't do it for me anymore. I might rent the video or download the torrent though.

[Zomby Woof]

8. I enjoy Smith's films

But I think Dogma was a bit overrated. Considering my atheism/skepticism, my love of both George Carlin AND Linda Fiorentino, and the general premise, I perhaps had my expectations amped a notch. I cite its shortcomings as an editing problem, not a storytelling flaw. Clerks and Chasing Amy were his best, and with a slight reverse, I think Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back was a bit underrated, but that is because of the inside jabs at Hollywood and the brilliant Mark Hamill cameo.

[jonnyblitz]

15. I didn't like Dogma either and I ,too, like a good religion bashing

movie. it was too silly. I forgot about Chasing Amy. I am not a big Ben Affleck fan. that one was ok, though.

[a kennedy]

16. I did like Chris Rock in Dogma......he was the only good thing

about Dogma. :thumbsup: (edit to correct spelling of Cris)

[LeighAnn]

30. No, go see the movie!

I was blessed to see the original Clerks when it opened in my hometown, and tonight's experience was like deja vu, only in color. Solid, funny stuff the likes of which we haven't seen since the original. Show your love for Kevin and see it on the big-screen!

[Mojambo]

5. It looks kinda sad and pathetic

I'll still see it, but I'm not expecting much.

They simply waited too long.

A sequel was never a good idea anyway which is why there was so much hemming and hawing on whether to do this.

[LeighAnn]

31. You'll be happy

You'll be going into it with the same expectations I had... I'll bet you enjoy it more than you ever dreamed. Go see it and post back! I need to know that I'm not the only one giddy about it.

[Initech]

6. I've been waiting for this movie for YEARS!

For one thing - Kevin Smith rules, for two - Clerks is one of my favorite movies, EVER.

[Zomby Woof]

9. I don't appreciate your ruse

I WASN'T EVEN SUPPOSED TO BE HERE TODAY!

Did he just say "Making Fuck"?

[Initech]

18. Would you like some making fuck BERZERKER!!!!!

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

26. He does not speak English good like we do

[Skittles]

10. mine too

oddly enough, I am probably one of the few people who saw the ORIGINAL version first.....a 20 something guy at work loaned me the box set last year - when I told him WOW about Dante being killed in the end he said I had watched the "wrong one" - still, I'm glad I did - because when the movie abruptly ended like that I immediately thought to myself "HE WASN'T SUPPOSED TO BE THERE TODAY!!!"

[C_eh_N_eh_D_eh]

12. Did you see the bit after the credits?

Kevin Smith (not Silent Bob) walks in through the open door and, not seeing anyone else in the store, steals a pack of cigarettes.

[catzies]

25. Whatwhatwhat? What is that and where and how can I get it?

I'm totally intrigued.

[Ariana Celeste]

29. Same here!

My SO shook his head when he saw a commercial, but I for one- don't give a shit. I'm watching this, and I'll love it.

I :heart: Kevin Smith.

[fishwax]

7. especially since wedding crashers just came out last year

"it's the funniest movie since last july" is a nice thing to say, I suppose, but it's hardly an overwhelming endorsement.

I was intrigued when I heard the movie was being made, and interested upon reading some of the early news, but the current ads and the trailer do nothing for me. It does not look good, imo.

[LeighAnn]

32. Go see it

You won't be sorry

[pitohui]

11. "it's the funniest movie sinc e the wedding crashers" ???

that is a little scary

but i have a little fan in the house (my parrot) who loooooves kevin smith and loooooves the long haired guy and whose favorite movie EVAH is clerks so i think i will have to wait and see it on DVD

i like the smith movies but to be honest the funniest part abt them is seeing the great pleasure my parrot takes in them so that's why i always wait for the video release

[Tyrone Slothrop]

13. I would be more interested if it were in B&W

I realize he has a lot more resources now, but for a Clerks sequel, it should really be in black and white.

[The2ndWheel]

14. Just a money grab to do a sequel

It's America.

[Theres-a]

17. Loved the original

Wish it was out now,I'd pay just to sit in the cool darkness and maybe laugh once or twice.

[LeighAnn]

33. You'll laugh for over an hour

Laugh once or twice? Go see the sequel

[RedCloud]

21. What about those 37 guys?

And more freezer stuff?

Just asking...

[Radical Activist]

40. There are now 82

That's my guess.

[xmas74]

22. Randel and Dante are, unfortunately, my generation.

My friends and I relate to them quite well at times.

I believe the plan is to see it together as a group.

[catzies]

23. Just got back! I loved it! I thought it was great.

Want spoilers? :hi:

[Zomby Woof]

24. We saw it too!

Got back 2 hours ago. :D

We loved it! *heehaw* ;-)

:hi: Post whatever you want!

[Nickster]

38. I saw it last night too. It was great, not his best, but still pretty damn

funny.

[Idioteque]

27. I just got back...it was one of Smith's funniest movies.

Seriously I haven't laughed so hard in months.

[mduffy31]

34. Great bit on the View Askew website

Smith was on Opie and Anthony's dreadful show and they called Joel Seigel and confronted him about standing up in the movie and announcing that "Time to go!" he yelled as he stood up and proceeding to walk out, passing dozens of critics and writers on his way to the door. And his tirade continued all the way out, as he yelled over the film's dialogue that this was the first time "in thirty (expletive) years" he had walked out on a film. It is pretty funny and Seigel didn't even realize who he was talking to for awhile.

Check it out: http://www.viewaskew.com/main.html

35. Joel Siegel says he walked out on it, it was that bad.

[Giant Robot]

36. Waves his hand in a Jedi manner

You want to go see this movie. You will love this movie.

Saw last night. Fucking hilarious. Go see it.

[leeroysphitz]

37. Joy.

:puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke:

Flame if you like but in my opinion Kevin Smith has'nt made one single good movie since the first Clerks, not one. I'm not sure why people still give him money to make movies.

[LeighAnn]

39. Kick so that everyone who loved Clerks will see this Movie

If you loved Clerks, you will love this movie.
