Clerks II

Well, it seems that they're coming out with a sequel to clerks. It's in color and b&w and it looks like they work in a fast food place (Mooby's) :).

I'm not sure about this. might be good might not.

Thoughts?

ive been following the movie closely and cant wait. i just hope it gets the unrated tag as kevin predicts, because i hear the dialogue is just off the charts.

Some how I just couldn't get into Clerks. Maybe I'll have to give it another shot.

Clerks was a classic for me. It pushed so many limits before "limit pushing" was the norm. Totally different from other stuff out at the time.

Mallrats was good, but different.

Chasing Amy was my favorite. Had classic Kevin Smith style and a great story. Ben Affleck's suckiness was balanced by Joey Lauren Adams.

Dogma was amusing, but it seemed to be trying too hard to be controversial.

Jay and Silent Bob....we'll pretend that didn't happen. Good for the cameos, though.

I dunno. Clerks II looks like it's just the movie Waiting in a fast food setting. The trailer didn't have the Kevin Smith style. Not that they could show it, but I'm not setting my hopes too high.

Can't let this thread die. Clerks is a great movie. Can't wait for part 2.

The c**k sucking conversation in the original was priceless.

I'm interested in seeing this. Have enjoyed Kevin Smith's "classic" movies due to the excellent dialog.

my friend and i watched this movie at his house, and when we heard that joke we were on the floor laughing for a good half hour, I actually almost vomitted from laughing so hard, and he burst blood vessels in his face

ugh, i despise the dialogue from clerks... even moreso than the dialogue from Smith's other movies. each line seems like it was written to be repeated ad nuseum by obsessed fans without regard to how an actual conversation flows.

I used to love Kevin Smith, but Clerks was his best movie. Ever since then, every movie seemed like a step backwards... I dunno.

There is no way this one will live up to the original.

Huh? :confused: Unrated just means that they didn't submit it for a rating. The MPAA doesn't decide that a film is "unrated" because it's so bad, they'd rate it NC-17. "Unrated" is a gimmick that the movie studios use to attract people who get excited by vulgarity. Usually when they release an "unrated" DVD it just contains a few scenes that were not submitted to the MPAA for rating, so they can't use the original rating even if the scenes don't contain anything bad. Most "unrated" films would be rated R if they were submitted for rating by the MPAA.

And I think most movie theaters wouldn't even show a movie that is not rated by the MPAA. Or at very least they'd treat it like an NC-17 movie (which again many movie theaters don't show).

you are correct, i misspoke. and i believe that the "unrated" tag is just a marketing gimmick. a lot of the time its tame material and would have passed the mpaa but it just didnt get screened because it was left on the cutting floor.
