mmm...everyone?

I loved the first clerks but, i was upset to see this one would be in color. I also see Dante has gained a lot of weight while Randal looks almost exactly the same as he did in clerks I.

Also, the person responsivle for making trailers should be shot. They always manage to make even decent movies look crappy in the trailers. The only movie in recent memory that I remember actually having a good trailer was Kingdom of Heaven.

The trailer was retarded,

I agree entirely. It's hard to make a trailer for a movie that's obviously aimed squarely at geeky young adults that has mass market appeal, a critical requirement for movie trailers. The compromise seems to have repelled the geek core. It repelled me at least, even though I'm still going to see it, of course!

The way they should market a movie by a director known for his dialogue is to pick a section of the script that has the funniest, wittiest or geekiest (that can appeal to people too...see star wars discussion in Clerks 1) and simply show that. They way they show the trailers is too "chopped and screwed" so to speak. chopped & screwed is actually a genre of music but the term fits well here too.

I heard Jason Mewes, the actor who plays Jay, was going through the motions of rehab and marijuana withdrawal (as if there was such a thing, pfft) and said he was never going to return to playing Jay anymore. I guess he saw the light, and promptly used it to spark up a joint in order to "research" for his next movie where he once again makes a cameo as Jay. Good I say, art for the public should not suffer in order to have one man be clean and sober, the happiness of the populace is more important than one guy being drug free.

I never got them. Why the hell are they so funny?

duhh its made by him he plays silent bob if you havent heard and i definitely saw them in the trailer

hah guess he found out nobody goes to see his movies without jay and silent bob in them, they are the most beloved characters of all time

Clerks was great. Clerks two I have very little faith in.
Jay and Bob will as always be entertaining.

All you have to do is turn the volume up on a kevin smith movie and listen to the dialogue to find out why hes so great. And yes Mallrats was a great movie, I never saw chasing amy though, thats the only kevin smith flick I never saw. But people speak fondly of it which makes me believe that kevin smith has never made a bad movie. Jay and Silent bob was hilarious, it was more mindless but it was a flick for stoners and hardcore jay&silent bob fans. Thats one funky monkey...

I'd never even heard of 'Clerks' till you guys mentioned it.

Thats because its an underground cult classic. Go rent it right now.

No way...seriously get a copy of it provided you arent offended by alot of vulgar language because Clerks is full of it Everyone must see it atleast once, it should be a school requirement!

I love the star wars part of the script in clerks so much, I' gonna post it here right now:

RANDAL
You know what else I noticed in Jedi?

48.


DANTE
There's more?

RANDAL
So they build another Death Star,
right?

DANTE
Yeah.

RANDAL
Now the first one they built was
completed and fully operational
before the Rebels destroyed it.

DANTE
Luke blew it up. Give credit where
it's due.

RANDAL
And the second one was still being
built when they blew it up.

DANTE
Compliments of Lando Calrissian.

RANDAL
Something just never sat right with
me the second time they destroyed
it. I could never put my finger on
it-something just wasn't right.

DANTE
And you figured it out?

RANDAL
Well, the thing is, the first Death
Star was manned by the Imperial
army-storm troopers, dignitaries-
the only people onboard were
Imperials.

DANTE
Basically.

RANDAL
So when they blew it up, no prob.
Evil is punished.

DANTE
And the second time around...?

49.


RANDAL
The second time around, it wasn't
even finished yet. They were still
under construction.

DANTE
So?

RANDAL
A construction job of that magnitude
would require a helluva lot more
manpower than the Imperial army had
to offer. I'll bet there were
independent contractors working on
that thing: plumbers, aluminum
siders, roofers.

DANTE
Not just Imperials, is what you're
getting at.

RANDAL
Exactly. In order to get it built
quickly and quietly they'd hire
anybody who could do the job. Do
you think the average storm trooper
knows how to install a toilet main?
All they know is killing and white
uniforms.

DANTE
All right, so even if independent
contractors are working on the
Death Star, why are you uneasy with
its destruction?

RANDAL
All those innocent contractors
hired to do a job were killed-
casualties of a war they had
nothing to do with.
(notices Dante's confusion)
All right, look-you're a roofer,
and some juicy government contract
comes your way; you got the wife
and kids and the two-story in
suburbia-this is a government
contract, which means all sorts of
benefits. All of a sudden these
left-wing militants blast you with
lasers and wipe out everyone within
a three-mile radius.
(MORE)

50.


RANDAL (CONT'D)
You didn't ask for that. You have
no personal politics. You're just
trying to scrape out a living.

The BLUE-COLLAR MAN joins them.

BLUE-COLLAR MAN
Excuse me. I don't mean to
interrupt, but what were you
talking about?

RANDAL
The ending of Return of the Jedi.

DANTE
My friend is trying to convince me
that any contractors working on the
uncompleted Death Star were innocent
victims when the space station was
destroyed by the rebels.

BLUE-COLLAR MAN
Well, I'm a contractor myself. I'm
a roofer...
(digs into pocket and
produces business card)
Dunn and Reddy Home Improvements.
And speaking as a roofer, I can say
that a roofer's personal politics
come heavily into play when choosing
jobs.

RANDAL
Like when?

BLUE-COLLAR MAN
Three months ago I was offered a
job up in the hills. A beautiful
house with tons of property. It was
a simple reshingling job, but I was
told that if it was finished within
a day, my price would be doubled.
Then I realized whose house it was.

DANTE
Whose house was it?

BLUE-COLLAR MAN
Dominick Bambino's.

RANDAL
"Babyface" Bambino? The gangster?

51.


BLUE-COLLAR MAN
The same. The money was right, but
the risk was too big. I knew who he
was, and based on that, I passed
the job on to a friend of mine.

DANTE
Based on personal politics.

BLUE-COLLAR MAN
Right. And that week, the Foresci
family put a hit on Babyface's
house. My friend was shot and
killed. He wasn't even finished
shingling.

RANDAL
No way!
BLUE-COLLAR MAN
(paying for coffee)
I'm alive because I knew there were
risks involved taking on that
particular client. My friend wasn't
so lucky.
(pauses to reflect)
You know, any contractor willing to
work on that Death Star knew the
risks. If they were killed, it was
their own fault. A roofer listens
to this...
(taps his heart)
not his wallet.




Classic.

Well, I did see Dogma. I like Silent Bob a lot more than Jay.

Meh I like em both equally, one is nothing without the other, theyre a duo. They have great chemistry together.

Fly fat ass, fly!

Jay was funny as hell in Dogma, favorite scene

Jay: I feel like I'm Han Solo, and you're Chewie, and she's Ben Kenobi, and we're in that ****ed up bar.
(to Bethany)
What about sex?

BETHANY: No sex.

JAY:Alright, but let's say we're caught in a situation where we've got like five minutes to live, like a bomb or something is gonna go off - would you **** us then?

BETHANY: In that highly unlikely situation?
(beat)
Yeah, sure.

JAY: Yeah? You slut. Noonch.

I dont think he said "noonch." He said "She's a slut, booong!"

Might of have been awhile since Ive seen the movie so looked up the script which obviously could have been wrong.

Yeah, ive seen every kevin smith movie except chasing amy and Ive never heard jay say noonch. He usually says Bohhhng! or Snoogens! but not noonch...
