Clerks II (Kevin Smith, 2006)

The only funny part of Clerks was Jay and Silent Bob. The other two losers that work in the stores and are "clerks" weren't that funny in Clerks. Those two people really haven't ever done anything besides Clerks, LOL. So I'm thinking that Clerks II won't be that funny. I do like the part in the trailer where Jason Lee goes into the fast food place and brags. Jason Lee is probably the only star of the Kevin Smith films that still has a career. Ben Affleck had the Gigli disaster and hasn't recovered. Matt Damon has had success with the Ocean movies and Bourne movies but that's about it. Jason Lee has one of the funniest shows on tv right now. Clerks II will probably bomb.
 
I don't know - I'm kind of in the "don't mess with a great thing" category, here.

I mean - what's the point? We've got Clerks, we've got Mallrats, we've got Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, and we've even got the bonus of Drawing Flies - why do we need more?

I think Kevin Smith should take his much talented self and do something more in the line of Chasing Amy and Dogma - take on another cultural icon, or something...
 
Yes, she is. :)

And aww that sucks you don't have anyone interested or available to go see it. Hopefully you will soon.

Luckily I'm one who doesn't mind going to movies alone, so if no one wants to go I just go on my own.
 
Awww, she is adorable, isn't she? :slinkie:

I have to see this but the movie came out at such a horrible time for me. Everybody started work and the few people who are still on vacation won't go near Clerks. :( Bastards.
 
Yeah! So.freakin'.excited.

...and I have no idea what happened to the original thread. :confused:
 
I'm so excited for this movie! I really hope I can find time between work to go see it.
 
This opens here on Thursday and I can't freakin' wait!!!! :yay:

I'm confused too. mukooh opened a thread for this long ago but I can't seem to find it now... :confused:
 
Just having a Kevin Smith appreciation thread isn't enough.

People - have you seen the ads for this film? So.freakin'.funny. I can't wait to see it.

Anyone else looking forward to this? (and I thought we had a thread for this movie but I couldn't find it... *is confused*)
 
This sounds like it could be a great movie. I loved the first one. I can't wait to see what he does in the second one.
 
I saw the movie the other day. I havent seen the first one, although I'm a Kevin Smith fan.
But I loved this movie. It was too funny. :D
 
True, but its all about making the money and Im sure this movie will do great at that. I just hope it turns out good.
 
What Kevin Smith needs to do is make sure he is making the film for HIM and not Miramax because while Miramax is known for more ground-breaking and avante guard stuff ("Pulp Fiction"; the original "Clerks"), they -- Specifically, Harvey Weinstien -- Is notorious for taking good ideas and turn them into "horse races" just to make a buck when they shouldn't be.

What I mean about this is that everyone has this notion that Miramax isn't like the other big Hollywood studios and produces so-called quality films... When in reality, they are exactly the same as the big studios, but just with a more concentrated niche market and smaller budgets.

This is why I agree with Moviegoer in that this could turn out really good, or really bad and it all depends on how much control -- both physically and mentally -- Kevin Smith has over the project and what his "true" motivations are for doing it 10 years later.
