Clerks

[Quiet Things]

Such an original and interesting movie certainly deserves its own thread. Discuss this film and other Kevin Smith movies here. My favourite scene is the hockey game on the roof.

I LOVE CLERKS

One of my favorite movies, of all time. My favorite comedy. Even though the acting sucks, the dialouge is like nothing else. Having it black and white [because of such a low budget] made it perfect. I have a ton of favorite scenes, but if I had to choose one, it would be the "37" scene.

"37. My girlfriend sucked 37 dicks."
"In a row?"

<3

And on the subject of Smith's other movies, Mallrats is probably my second favorite.

[Quiet Things]

Mallrats was definitely up there among the Smith greats, it was my second favourite behind Clerks. I thought that the newest film was very overrated, it sort of ruined the underground quality of Smith's movies.

[Kurtz]

Dogma wasn't really underground.

In fact, it seemed pretty mainstream.

Actually, I've yet to see Dogma. However, by most of my friends telling me I need to see it, I can only assume it was at least a little mainstream.

Clerks > Dogma > Mallrats > Chasing Amy > JSBStrike Back

[Bartender]

I like Clerks. I like all of the five movies he did with Jay and Silent Bob. Haven't yet seen Jersey Girl though.

[Der Übermensch]

I'm afraid to see it, as something tells me its horrible.

[Kurtz]

I wouldn't.

[Thor]

Havent seen the movie, but I love the TV series.

[Evil Clown Liquor]

I love Kevin Smith's movies. One reason being he is obviously proud of his and my home home state, New Jersey. Every one of his films either takes place in Jersey, or Jersey is an important place in the story.

I actually live about 15 minutes away from Jay And Silent Bob's Secret Stash, you know, the one in the beginning of JASBSB. Never actually went in yet, just see it driving by.

Clerks is fantastic, I've seen Mallrats and Jay&Silent Bob Strike Back aswell, I can't really choose a favourite.

You live in Central Jersey?

[EightMilesHigh]

Clerks was ok, the black and white got to me after a while. In my opinion, Mallrats > Dogma > Clerks > Chasing Amy > JSBStrike Back.

[TheBlackAcidChildren]

Haven't seen Clerks, but I've seen Dogma and Jay and Bob . Thought both were quite funny, Dogma is one of my favourite films at the moment. Mostly cause I like a lot of the religious debate, and the dialogue is pretty cool.

[Interstate]

I have been wanting to see this for soooo long but I can never find anywhere that rents it. I'm probably going to have to buy it on ebay or something if I want to see it. I've heard such good things about it so i'll have to check it out very soon.

Olaf: "My love for you is like a truck...BERSERKER!
You and me lets making f***....BERSERKER!"

chic: "Did he just say making f***?"

[Joey Hoser]

I'm afraid to see it, as something tells me its horrible.


Besides the fact that it's Ben Affleck with Jennifer Lopez?

I thought the Black and White suited the film, not sure why though.

Yeah, I live in Middletown, NJ. Secret Stash is in Red Bank, NJ.

[thedeadwalk!]

Everyone seems to forget or perhaps just don't know about An Evening with Kevin Smith. It's four hours of him telling stories about his life; truly amazing. It's his funniest movie yet just for the sheer length of it.

Also, Jersey Girl wasn't bad. Jennifer Lopez is not in it for much of the movie. Although it's pretty formulaic as far as romantic comedies go, it's still pretty good.

I haven't seen it yet.

I've only heard positive things about it, and it's Kevin Smith, so I'll check it out.

[Der Übermensch]

I have seen an Evening with KS, I just dont consider it a Movie, its a prolonged interview.

"You hate people"
"but i love gatherings, isn't it ironic"

I love Clerks, but strangly it is the only Kevin Smith movie i don't own.

When i get enough money i will probably buy Clerks X, by the way does any know what all the special features are on that because it is like 3 discs long.

"CANCER MERCHANT! CANCER MERCHANT! CANCER MERCHANT!"

:lol:

[3rdplanet]

Didn't the rights to the music cost more than the costs of making the rest of the film put together?

/poorlyworded

[davser]

Strangely enough I saw this for the first time last friday. Not bad at all. favourite scene is the ordering of all the **** vids when the mother is in the store. Most funny.

[ThePinkPanther]

Greatest comedy ever

Salsa Shark>Cancer Merchant>Ordering **** Vids>Car Ride To Funeral

[ThePinkPanther]

I also like the tv series

[lunch998]

/poorlyworded

Yea, the film only cost around 27,000$ to make.

[mullet_monster]

Yeah, I live in Middletown, NJ. Secret Stash is in Red Bank, NJ.
What is this "Secret Stash" you speak of?

[thepo]

Oh man this is definately one of my favorite movies.

"I don't appreciate your ruse lady." I love that scene. It's even funnier if you notice Jay jumping in the backround, all leading up to when he yells at the lady as she's coming out.

When I'm bored, I put on sunglasses and do that little Randal jig.

Haha, that's another favorite scene.

"Hey, you can't rent from here anymore!"
"YEEEEEEAAAAHHH!"

an evening with kevin smith isn't a movie...it's a series of interviews.

[Kurtz]

well name some of the better ones.
Some of the better features:

The Lost Funeral Scene
Snowball Effect
Original Kevin Smith Journals [pre- and during/post- 1994 SFF]
The Flying Car
Auditions
168 Page Rough Draft of Clerks

That isn't even half of the features.
I would get it without a doubt in my mind.

[Evil Clown Liquor]

What is this "Secret Stash" you speak of?

You know that comic book store that Jason Lee is working in the beginning of Jay And Silent Bob Strike Back? That's the Secret Stash in Red Bank, NJ. It's a comic book store that also doubles as sort of a Kevin Smith superstore.

[thedeadwalk!]

So we shouldn't include it in talks? Boulderdash! I've laughed harder at that piece of film than any of his other stuff.
