Clerks II - Are you gonna see it?

Shit, I guess I'm the only person who liked Jersey Girl. But I like anything of a semi-serious nature where George Carlin turns up in a dramatic role. Same for, eh, Prince of Tides.

 

Carlin was good in the flick... best part of it.

I didn't hate it. Just sort of fell flat. Dialogue was flat by Smith's standard.

 

Pillowpants. That was priceless.

They guy who played Elias had a pretty good take on the role.

And, just because it can't be said enough: Rosario Dawson...mmmmmmm

 

I will break my rule of not seeing sequels if someone tells me Berserker returned and is "making fuck".

No. Sorry. No Berserker. Not that I recall, at least.

 

Nope. Me, too. I thought it was a wonderfully sappy flick. I liked it alot for what it was. Now, if you went into it thinking you were going to get a Clerks-like movie, I can see where you'd be disappointed. I wasn't.

Oh, yeah. Wouldn't even need the cheese cracker.

 

I saw it yesterday, and while i liked it, i definitely liked the first one better. this is what the first one could have been with a proper budget, but i think thats what made the original better. it was a few actors (none of them big names) doing a black and white movie with just great, witty dialouge back and forth. its simplicity is what made the first one spectacular. the second one, i felt, was kind of gimmicky with its jokes and forced a lot of the humor.

 

I'm seeing it in two hours. Looking forward to it.

 

It's definitely his best film since Chasing Amy (I know that's not saying that much, though I did love Dogma and like both Jay/Bob and Jersey Girl).
It is enough over the top that I'm surprised Kevin didn't have to fight to bring the rating down to an R. He has a long history of getting NC-17 and having to fight it.
But the movie was great and hilarious.

 

With the promise of extended ass-to-mouth dialogue, you know I'm there.

 

"It was better than Cats. I plan to see it again and again."

 

Unfortunately, it did not have a good opening weekend... Less than $10 million...

It only cost $5 mil to make, so it will obviously be profitable, but I thought it would do a lot better than this... Hell, I think Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back opened around $20 million...
