I saw Clerks II earlier this evening. Doesn't have the freshness of the original, and is very uneven in tone with a disappointingly soppy, and deeply unconvincing, romantic plot line. However, the characters are all there and the climatic scene with the donkey is spectacular - genuinely laughout loud funny.
Still not seen this - still very keen to! Jay and Silent Bob are icons for our generation (as are Dante and Randall of course).
ReplyDeleteI read somewhere that Kevin Smith listed all of his MySpace friends in the end credits...
ReplyDeleteA couple of months ago they were re-doing the walls of Oxford Circus tube station. Every few days the process would reveal an old advertising poster from years ago. For a while I walked past the poster for the original Clerks on my way to work every morning - which was strangely disorientating. I was going to take a picture and post it on the Flickr page, but I was too self conscious in the rush hour crowds.
