I'm driving, or riding techically, an hour to see Clerks II in a bit

I'm skeptical, but I've read nothing but good reviews, so I have hope for it yet.

I couldn't make it through The Producers. I don't know if it was the heat or the movie.

I watched Shop Girl last night, it was really good.

Confession: I never made it all the way through Clerks (I) and have never been a fan of Smith, and have no desire to see anything he's done.

I'm a mediocre fan of Smith. I've seen everything he's made (other than Bill and Ted Strike Back, or whatever it is called). Most of it has moments I like and moments I don't like.

They're all pretty much near the mediocre line with Clerks and Dogma being on the better side and Mallrats, Chasing Amy, and Jersey Girl slightly on the bad side. I actually liked Jersey Girl much more than most but then I'm not tied into the cult of Kevin Smith that was upset about him not making the type of movie they want from him.

I, for one, am amazed at how well 'POTC DMC' is doing. $35 mil this weekend. That's really good. It beat out 'Monster House', 'Lady' and 'Clerks 2'. It's already heading towards the top 10 all-time domestic...
Wow!

innerSpaceman · 07-24-2006, 08:24 AM

Ugh.

Oh, and I saw Dogma and sorta enjoyed it.

Uma Thurman....

I read an article today in which Uma talks about her new movie "My Super Ex-Girlfriend" and says "I love comedy and I've been wanting to do comedy forever".

Is it just me? I'd label both of the "Kill Bill's" plus "pulp fiction" as comedy.

I REALLY enjoyed Clerks last night.

Smith has redeemed himself in my eyes....

Matterhorn Fan · 07-24-2006, 02:24 PM

I hadn't even considered seeing Clerks 2. It looks like a "wait until it's on cable" movie to me, but I'm going ONLY on the TV ads I've seen, which look terrible.

Nah, I'd go with "action" instead of "comedy" for those. The resolutions are not funny or lighthearted, and their focus is not comedic, though they include plenty of comedy.
