The humor is very similar to Mallrats but conversely, J&SBSB actually has a plot you can follow. I liked mallrats incidently. It wasn't the best by any means but I thought it had some very funny moments. Probably the best thing I can say about the new movie is that Smith and his producer Scott Mosier seem to be improving as filmmakers. The editing isn't as choppy as we've seen in the past and the story seems to flow a little better. A warning though...some people may find this movie somewhat offensive. Smith tears into a lot of today's pop culture and stereotypes as well as being completely politically incorrect. Of course that's why I loved it!Rob C
... that I saw "Clerks" at an upscale art house in Houston. About half of the audience (the Range Rover crowd) got up and left after the first ten minutes or so. The rest probably became hooked on this sort of cinema.I guess I was harsh on "Mallrats" in part because I was yearning for the overall feel of "Clerks".
Actually...the first 10 minutes ARE worth walking out on. Clerks starts off slow -- very slow -- but takes 15 minutes or so to get fired up. I warn people about that by saying, "in the first 15 minutes or so you'll want to leave -- wait it out."Doug Schneider
Get the DVD if you haven't already. The commentary is interesting and shows just how tight the budget was. There's a few interesting deleted scenes as well. While I also liked Dogma, I think my favorite will always be Chasing Amy.Rob C
Hi, I am not into movies, but a friend of mine turned me on to Kevin Smith. He wanted me to go see the current one, so four of us watched "Clerks" and "Mallrats", a week later "Chasing Amy". I haven't seen "Dogma" yet. I must admit, at the end of "Chasing Amy", I had a lump in my throat, one guy was blowing his nose, my buddy, later admitted that he had a tear in his eye. The other guy wouldn't admit to it, if it did effect him, too macho. I think it says a lot about a movie when it touches you like that. It's a romantic comedy, kind of racy, and in the end, a bit of a tear jerker. I heard that Kevin Smith described "Strikes Back" as a dumb movie for smart guys. You don't have to see the others to enjoy "Strikes Back", but then you will miss a lot of the inside jokes. I say, see them all!
