The movie is coming earlier than originally planned!

Rosario Dawson

:::wonders if Kevin's directing has improved at all since the first one:::

It's in glorious technicolor this time

Doubtful. This looks horrible.

Actually, I just saw the trailer and from that I ain't impressed. It looks worse than Rabbit's Mum's trailer in '8 Mile'

Yeah, I saw a clip somewhere.

Actually, it got pretty darn good reviews at Cannes and a very long standing ovation at the conclusion of the film there. Don't judge it quite yet.

I for one am going on opening night.

I am a Kevin Smith fan, or at least I used to be. But I'm getting a bad feeling about this one.

That should be retitled.


NEW TITLE: the next big thing from Kevin Smith that's about to flop.
Subtitle: The shits about to hit the fan.

I guess either one is a fan or they're not. There doesn't seem to be any gray.

I agree. The movie is going to flop.

Kevin Smith has a specific audience. The movie cost $5mill to make..so it will make a profit on the first day of release, not to mention future dvd sales..
Kevin is a very funny man...just rent his "An Evening with Kevin Smith" sometime...his interaction with Prince is hilarious.
Either way, Kevin can't lose...sure it's hard to catch lightening in a bottle twice. Clerks was a funny, edgy debut. Clerks 2 won't be the same, but I expect it to be a good Kevin Smith film

Snootchie Bootchiesssss

I love love love Chasing Amy but it's strictly b/c the writing & most of the acting was good (I still don't get the appeal of Joey Lauren Adams)... but I hated Dogma & feel like Kevin doesn't really have a grip, not to mention zero "style" - & style is not necessary but it does make you feel like someone's steering the ship & you're not just floating through some fucked up story.

Anyway, I feel like this one is gonna be stale...

Chasing Amy was great...as with any of the Kevin Smith movies, what I like so much about it was the dialogue. Same with Dogma...listen to the intelligence as Kevin questions his own faith. It's all about the dialogue..he's a dialogtician!

Yes BUT! many of the post smoking cronics have since grown up...

MickG said:

U'd think so. Those films are funny in places, but they look so dated now. Jason mews is a relic from that time. His whole stoners act looked wack then and does even more now. I've grown out of these movies personally but.....

That All!

MickG said:

Yeah, and "last action hero" is better then any of those gen x "lets talk about pointless shit for ages" films

jesus! tough crowd!
