CLERKS 2 gets a new Internet Only Trailer just for us internet people!
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with a link to the internet only trailer for Kevin Smith's CLERKS sequel. STAR WARS, LOTR, SILENCE OF THE LAMBS... lotsa geeky references, plus some internet approved profanity, a Mrs. Smith bra flash and Rosario Dawson looking hotter than ever. Lots to like in the below. Enjoy!!!
You wanna click me? I'd click me. I'd so click me...

-
...Now!!!!
-
That is a fact.
-
I don't know if Clerks 2 answers that, but I do know that I want Rosario Dawson. NOW. And keep the glasses on! Mannequin Skywalker! Priceless...
-
Just kidding, I like Kevin Smith and am looking forward to the film. When my mom can drive me to the theater of course.
-
or is the music used in the trailer--during the parts with the black backgrounds with text--the same tune as the theme song from Clerks: The Animated Series? Of course, it's a much "harsher" version here, and I could be wrong, but I really think it is.
-
The film could certainly end up being okay, but that trailer sucks. "Oh, look. They're still clerks. They're still talking about Star Wars. But now they're fat and unfunny."
-
Come on goddamn it! Step right up and have your judgment in movies criticized by the man who made Jersey Girl! And, as an added bonus, have your grammar critiqued by a community college dropout! Wait, there
-
Somebody hasn't seen the strip club number in RENT. Hottest heroin addict ever.
-
Is it me or does the footage seem to need some tightening up? In several of the scenes, the "pauses for laughter" seemed a little long.
-
Now that it's been floated some fruit out there WILL make Tranny Hall. Smith's wife will have a hard time beating out Sting's wife for the part though.
-
...unless they're indicative of the quality of the film, in which case they're accurate representations so I should thank the trailer editor personally because I won't be seeing this.
-
...if the fucking link worked. Talk about a dick tease...
-
Trailer was cut by an infant with a rusty knife though.
-
You'd think they'd want to put some, you know, laughs or punchlines in that trailer (and I've got a pretty good idea who cuts these) Just terrible.
-
The trailer is fine. You people are overanalyzing the hell out of it. It's supposed to be like that. Now, I don't know if Kevin Smith himself was the one editing this trailer, or if he has an editor that he sits behind and gives direction. It all depends on if Kevin Smith can use Avid or, perhaps, Final Cut, but the trailer was cut fine. There were noticable places where audio fades were used going from shot-to-shot, so you can't tell me that the person editing the trailer is an "infant." Don't even start talking about "cutting" or "editing" unless you know what you're talking about, and no, downloading Adobe Premiere and having no prior editing experience or using iMovie doesn't count...
-
like a parody of clerks in color....boring
-
Doesn't really strike me as anything different to the first film. And that's fine with me. Good to see someone making a crack at Hayden Christensen finally.
-
Let there be thine juggling!
-
*sleeps in peace*
-
I mean why not. Juggfuckler's post was too funny. Anyway, that's about all I can bash about Smith. I wish he had a better DOP for DOGMA ... but as I recall, I think one of the weinstein's had a hand in handing smith a non-a-grade DOP. Maybe I'm wrong. Forgot what I was talking about. I'm hungry.
-
Can't wait for this. All you haters can go put your Spider-Man underoos on and get tucked in by mama. Don't know how Kevin wades through this cesspool of idiocy. Rock on Kevin.
-
Kevin already said so on his board.
-
...and have several awards on my wall, so I think I know what I'm talking about when I say this trailer was poorly conceived and edited. It doesn't make me want to see the movie.
-
Fuck Kevin Smiths judgement and Fuck everyone who made a post before me! You all weak pussies with Kevin Smith attachment! Fuck that! Fuck your problems and Fuck him for being dumb enough to respond to you!
-
I have a few hours to waste before I go to bed and off to my job tomorrow, and I feel like arguing, so please send me pictures of these "awards" on your wall, and "Participation" trophies don't count. Now, if a highly technical person such as yourself doesn't have awards, you can at least upload your resume tape reel to turboupload.com and re-post a link to it here, because you have one of those right? I do.
-
I meant to say "if a highly technical person such as yourself doesn't have a camera to take pictures of these 'awards"
-
Now it's just Clerks II? I always thought "The Passion..." seemed a bit lame, but oh well. I just watched my Clerks X DVD and am anxiously awaiting the view of K. Smith's wife in the nude. Well, maybe not NUDE per se, but I can still imagine what she would look like even if they didn't show anything but lame bra shots...
-
bahahahahahahahaha!!!!. Well fuck-a-doodle-doo Batutta, You da man!!
...you are one sad, sad motherfucker. -
... all I can see is Rosario Dawson, doing her little dance. I have never seen a better use of gravity than that. Thank you, Mister Smith!
-
... all I can see is Rosario Dawson, doing her little dance. I have never seen a better use of gravity than that. Thank you, Mister Smith!
-
... I hate Kevin Smith. And I hate Aintitcool news for making me aware enough of Smith to buy those used videos (which are safely re-deposited back at that store). What an incredible waste of my life and time.
-
You'll have to take my word for it. And Shabby Blue, you wouldn't knock trailer editing if you knew how much fucking money good trailer editors make. I've edited trailers and feature films and features are a hundred times easier to cut. Anyway, it's still a shitty trailer and I'm not the only one who thinks so. The film looks amateurish to me, and Kevin could get away with that when he was an amateur, but not now.
-
His best film IMO, hands down (unless you count Evening With, a bigtime personal fave... brilliant stuff).
-
Sounds like a cool gig.
-
It is a cool gig, and pays sick money. I get payed sweet sums to move a mouse around, and sometimes don't even have to leave my house. Yep, I'm a sad motherfucker all right, one who's laughing all the way to the bank.
-
You come as the smarmiest, most self righteous, self congratulatory asshole. Please keep your self satisfaction to yourself. And post that reel of yours if it's that good and stop talking shit!
-
...who said "Don't even start talking about "cutting" or "editing" unless you know what you're talking about"...and thought I should make the point that I DO know what I'm talking about in this instance. Sorry if I came off as self-righteous.
-
...for trailers released on the internet. We have two already. I seriously hope that there will be a scene retained that we haven't witnessed already when the film comes out. Though, really, I don't think it matters all that much. -- http://humapple.blogspot.com/
-
Just not funny. Clerks was great, but this looks awful.
-
Who gives a flying fuck about him?
-
Like Jay & Silent Bob, or Blade III, it looks like a movie designed solely for AICN talkbackers, which, when you get right down to it, generally have horrible taste. But perhaps that's just a function of this Internet-only trailer. At any rate, the teaser seemed ok, but this makes it look straight-to-video.
-
Anyone who thinks that it was some kind of profound take on religion is unbelievably superficial. There is a reason why Kevin Smith sells just as many action figures as he does tickets. ALL OF HIS FANS ARE FUCKING CHILDREN. The same people who denigrate so-called Kevin Smith haters for living in their mother's basements are buying Jay and Silent Bob action figures. Oh, and please someone make the comparison to Lucas and Spielberg selling action figures, like its the same thing, and prove my point about ya'll being a bunch of retards.
-
It seems like every thing worth a crap's having its legacy tarnished nowadays. Now CLERKS has to have a shitty sequel. And is it just me or is the color seriously fucking with my head. It makes it look cheaper! It's probably just me. Oh well. This is what you get when you're too scared to direct GREEN HORNET.
-
HATE! HATE! HATE! HATE!
-
As I said earlier in the Kevin is Harry post, Dip shit got booed here in Calgary for not bringing the footage he promised right here on AICN, then telling the audience if they wanted to see it they had to pay another 50 bucks and drive 3 hours north to see it in Edmonton. I warned all of you and lookie lookie. Now why are we freaking out about some straight to dvd worthy "sequel" from this guy? I don't know either, this site really hasn't been worth reading since there won't be any Star Wars news ever again. And Young Luke Skywalker adventures doesn't count.
-
I have more time to waste tonight, so come on Batutta and tell us about those crappy little movies that you and your friends shot on that no name brand miniDV camcorder that you bought for $249.95 at Wal-Mart on your day off from your usual workplace - Wal-Mart. Tell us about how you used the internal camera mic to record the audio for your "film" and not a real audio configuration. Please tell me that you used Adobe Premiere Pro after you downloaded it illegally online. Please tell me that you think you are so awesome at it even though you don't know the parameters to create new filters or algorithms (made that up). Please tell me all of that so I can laugh. Not that I think thats who you are, but I love when I find people like that. And don't give me that crap about how "the quality of the camera doesn't matter if you have a good story." If your $249.95 camera from Wal-Mart has a mono-in audio jack with no level adjustment, then odds are...your movie will BLOW. Now, I made myself laugh about something that's probably not true, but please, respond. Don't take offense though. However, let's make fun of those people. I love to talk about them.
-
whatever happened to Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back being the last of the "Jersey Chronicles" or whatever? I think Mr. Smith needs to move on to something different.
-
"Whatever your film editing skills may be, I don't think editing MOVIE TRAILERS is anything to brag about." Well, whoever the people were that made the Episode I trailer were pretty good. It actually made the movie seem like it was worth watching.

Star Wars references were cool in 1994, funny in '99...
by flim springfield
Lame now.
-
...way before Final Cut came out. Before that I cut Avid (sometimes still do). Before that video toaster. Before that 3/4 decks. Before that, actual film. Yes, I once touched film, and the digital revolution couldn't have happened fast enough for me. So tell me digital8, why do you make fun of people who use 249 dollar cameras and use the screen name digital8?
-
I'm not as up on my Kevin Smith as some here, but is there still any talk of an animated Clerks feature?
-
I registered digital8 to be 1337 obviously. Isn't the cool thing to do to create a name of something mediocre? Obviously!
-
Seriously, you guys hate everything. Kevin Smith can do no wrong in my book and I say that with pride. But I'm one of those people who has an attention span and the capacity for enthusiasm. Don't like his films? Good for you.
-
Alright, I'm done...This trailer still sucks.
-
I just turned 32, and in all likelihood I'm soon to be heading back to the same kind of lowpay piece of shit job I hated backj when the first Clerks came out. HAHAHAHA ha heh hhhh fuck.
-
i like the fact that you can see the woman's nipples through her bra. The only redeeming quality of the trailer, if you ask me.
-
because of the low budget. If you make a film with a budget of let's say $1 million, then another million for marketing, that's $2 million. Now let's say the movie grosses $8 million, it made all of it's money back plus $6 million, that's called a "hit". (I'm not counting video sales here.) That doesn't mean a lot of people went to see it, it really doesn't mean much. BUT technically you could say "From the director of the hit film CLERKS 2...", and that's what sticks in John Q. Moviegoers head, something stupid like that. And that's how Smith keeps getting work. The Weinsteins know he could bring in some extra cash from high school students and fratboys that actually think he is "funny". So Harv and Bob keep him around. There's no way WB or Paramount or any other major studio would support him. Especially now since he is tapped out and has to go back and recycle characters he said he would never work on again in films. He struck out with JERSEY GIRL and now he has to try to take more blood from a stone. It's unfortunate, I used to really like his stuff. Plus just look at the time we live in when movies about the stupidest stuff can gross over $20 million. And here's my prediction, SNAKES ON A PLANE is going to outgross CLERKS 2.
-
Stupid august 18th, I want this movie now!
-
http://movie-list.com/trailers.php?id=simpsons
-
but i hope i don't feel like i did after i went to see "Jersey Girl" and "Jay and Silent Bob" - like i had just bought a stale box of the plain vanilla girl scout cookies that nobody wanted from a fat eight year-old.
-
His narrow lttle niche audience thinks he's God.
-
ok fagtards how many movies have you made? ok we all agree that jerseygirl sucked but i'm pretty sure that he's made a good amount of cult classics while you all sit at home and jerk off to world of warcraft characters. So in the name of all that is holy and kevin smith. Shut the FUCK up.
-
...sucks, but so did the trailers for Clerks, Mallrats, Chasing Amy, Dogma and J&SBSB. They're not really 'trailer' films.
-
Gonna see it.
-
"The Weinsteins know he could bring in some extra cash from high school students and fratboys that actually think he is "funny".".. I see you have a firm grasp on reality. Fratboys? You have to be paying better attention than that. 50% of high school students, when asked about Kevin Smith, would most likely say "Kevin who?" His main audience is older than that, and a little more sophisticated than "fratboys". Most of us are over 30 and live in our parent's garage/basement/guest room. And it's exactly that kind of self-depricating humor that we love so very much. Now how is that more sophisticated than your average fratboy? Well, for one example, we tend not to be drunk when we fuck. And appreciate the live woman much more than our beer-guzzling, sports fanatic, marginally educated underlings. So there. Nyah!
-
...and have several awards on my wall, so I think I know what I'm talking about when I say this Batutta was poorly conceived and raised. -
http://hot4movies.com/galleries/bangb/moc2/060402hailey/take3.mpg
-
Did no one notice Jay doing the Buffalo Bill cross dressing scene in the beginning? Hilarious!
-
They're sterotypical responses you'd think you'd find in Jay & Silentbob strike back. Can you people come up with anything original? Right now Kevin Smith is reading my post saying. WTF am I wasting my life reading this garbage? When I could be slurpping on each one of jays balls! while jays screams. fuckin 5 more minutes! suck it suck it fat bitch!
-
Let's be honest with ourselves. Snakes on a Plane will not only outgross Clerks 2, it will become the highest grossing movie of all time.
-
Batutta is right, but anyone should be able to see that this trailer is a total mess. It starts off funny as hell though. Jay has always been the funniest part of every Kevin Smith movie. I am sure that the film will have plenty of laughs, but Kevin Smith's films ARE all amateurishly made. They all look like direct-to-video, especially Dogma. This will have to be the last Jay and Silent Bob movie because all those guys are pushing 40, and Kevin is really pushing it already by going back to the askewniverse. And for those dumping on editing trailers, how many examples of great trailers for a poor movie do you need? The Phantom Menace has two great trailers! The Matrix sequels have awesome trailers also.
-
Is the fucking bomb yo. yeh and my shitty keyboard sucks for posting that other fucked up post.
-
The Superman Returns trailer was fantastic. This trailer is poo. Having said that, and no matter how much I whinge about Jersey Girl, and it was a steaming pile of donkey shit, Kevin Smith will still get my hard earned 10 euro (that's european money for you yanks) for this movie. And he'll get the money of all the other complaining fucks on this board too. We all bitch about this guy, and I honestly believe he cannot make a movie outside his own universe, but in the end, every one of us will pay to watch his movie. Or download it on torrent.
-
I keed. Seriously though, Rosario looks nice.
-
Got your attention? How does Jersey Girl get such a negative reaction from people who claim to hate Kevin Smith anyway? It wasn't that bad. It just wasn't that good either. Isn't that the real problem? Christ you guys sound like jilted lovers! And all the ripping on Smith and his wife? You guys know you are all secretly hoping that he will post a response and that's why you jump all over him. Then you can say "I called Kevin's wife a tranny and he said he just went ass to mouth on my mom" and you will tell that story for years and you know it. You're all jealous because Kevin resembles the fat geek fanboy with a hot wife that you all dreamt of being before you decided to waste your life bitching about movies instead of making them. Why would you click on the link if you hate Smith so much? I don't read links for movies or filmakers I'm not interested in. And pointing out that Smith's movie's are juvenile doesn't make you look smart or mature. It makes you look stupid. Like the guy who shouts out "as if!" during a Bond flick. Kevin Smith is great at what he does.
-
I really try to enjoy his movies. His scripts seem to have some good quality to them. I guess I am burned out on this Jay and Boob thing. How many times can they play these characters? I guess if he is happy in slapping out the same stuff then so be it. I just thought he was more original than that.
-
Do you have any idea how tough it is to write that on your own ass with a marker?
-
And this, this is my award for watching the Clerks 2 trailer.
-
movie. What a no-talent.
-
That opening scene in the trailer was the funniest shit I've seen in a long time - and I cut pretentious pricks heads off for a living.
-
Because eating shit is gross.
-
And an AICN TB turns overwhelmingly into the Poop Shoot board in 'Strikes Back'. You so lame. Kevin Smith a no-talent? At least his CV doesn't list 'eating shit'. Or 'editing trailers' for that matter.
-
I just finished watching my -super-holy-shit-ulitmate-never before seen in theaters-18 disc special edition of Clerks, and I must say this movie really stands the test fo time and I was laughing my ass now just as I was back when I first saw it. Looking forward to the long overdue "Clerks 2"
-
Alright ladies and gentlemen, here it is;
Kevin Smith makes movies. Pretty easy, right? You either like them or you don't. Once again, pretty easy. I happen to like Kevin Smith's movies. Clerks is one of my favorites as is Jay And Silent Bob Strike Back and Mallrats. Chasing Amy had some moments for me, but for the most part I was stunned how Ben Afflecks character could be so damned stupid when given the opportunity to bang the shit out of Joey Lauren Adams, but I digress. Jersey Girl was a fine film, but I never saw it as a Kevin Smith movie. I like the little askewniverse he has created as it has many similarities to my own existence. If you hate Kevin Smith movies that's fine, it will in no way change my opinion of the films that he has made and probably do little to dissuade his more rabid fans either. So, before you all go and get your panties in a bunch over this realize one thing;
If you don't like the movies he makes then don't watch them. There are plenty of us who do like them and will continue to do so.
...Thank you. -
Since this is being released a day before my bday, that will be my gift to myself.
Funny ass shit! -
And movies, and documentaries and (sigh) even the occasional wedding footage home footage. You see, people know I have all the shit to do it so they ask me and I'm just such a sweet guy. Not for much longer though. Oh, and adobe premier is ugly shit. Final cut pro is a thing of beauty. Film making is such a fickle mistress - don't get me started. Oh, and thanks for the link to the porn above. Here I was keeping this computer clean. ta.
-
the chicks look so much better than the guys? Seriously though, I am conflicted on this as I love certain Kevin Smith movies, and his stuff for me is either hit or miss. I want this to be good as I loved Clerks, but I'm not sure how much this will add. So to sum up, more dick jokes and boobs please.
-
My love for you is ticking clock...Berzerker! Would you like to suck my cock...Berzerker!
-
and i havent even watched it
-
Was it really worth the time it took you to type that? Film looks great.
-
There's like saggy Smith-wife nipple in that trailer. I think my memory block is starting to find. BURN IT FROM MY MIND, OH LORD! Someone get me Christ on the phone, stat. -- http://humapple.blogspot.com/
-
This talkback went downhill REAL fast. Honestly, how old ARE you guys?
-
*insert Kevin Smith bashing comment here in hopes that he will talkback and validate my meager existence*
-
I swear this is the biggest group of whiners and cry babies I have ever witnessed on a forum. If you dislike something or someone so much then why do you all waste your time posting about it? Get over yourselves, if you don't like Kevin Smith
-
Kevin, if you read this and start talking back to the talk-backers, know that if you put me in your next movie, I'd let you go ass to mouth to ass on me. For reals.
-
Jason Mewes is a waste of a life. He is a fucking drug addict and he should be sucking Kevin Smiths cock but instead Kevin Smith seems to be sucking Jason Mewes dick whenever he gets the chance. When Jason Mewes dies Im sure Kevin Smith will make another movie and have Silent Bob standing by himself in the background, and one of the characters will make a comment about "somethings not right" I jsut wish South Park had something to say about Kevin Smith. Please Kevin take a shot at Matt Stone and Trey Parker because they will own your fat fatty fat fat ham eating fat fat fat sausage finger having no stairs taking fat fucking asshole! I bet when Jason Mewes and Ben Affleck get together you mic their cocks as you suck them!
-
Well I Hope Kevin Sub's It: Clerks 2 Back To The Well...
and sadly yes I'll be first in line to fork over my nine bucks.
Why must I succumb to the sirens call that is dick and fart jokes? why god why have you endowed me with an intelect the size of a planet and an affinty for humor that falls to the lowest common denometer. Damn you Kevin for producing this drivel that I keep coming back to for my fix... Please go do another Jersey Girl type flick after this to redeem your soul..
Snoochie Boochies
WTF is that.
Frank Wolf -
Well actually I was only gonna say SORTA ironic, but now that you're only allowed to have like 8 fucking characters in your subject heading!!... but anyway... Yea, am I the only one that things that other new male Moobys clerk looks a bit like Hayden Christiansen? (thus any possible Annakin irony)
-
followed by _mallrats_, followed by...i don't know, that reese witherspoon rant he gave at some college recently ranks with his finest work. which says no small amount about his finest work. when he gets into rapid-fire dialogue, he's like a slacker howard hawks and works very entertainingly on that level. when he believes he has something insightful to say about relationships between (and within) the sexes, g-d, roman catholicism, morality, child rearing, he is -- how can i put this? -- gravely mistaken. although if i ever have to describe, say, the artistry of tom palmer or joe sinnott to civilians, it helps if i reference the "tracer" riff in the _chasing amy_. i suppose that's not nothing. all the same, that _clerks_ cartoon, tho' stylish, kinda sucked, too. let's see what fatboy can do when he returns to the scene of the crime what made his bones.
-
He's a geek that's done good. I don't think you guys know anything about how hard the film industry is. The amount of dedication and near obsessive level of devotion you need to actually make a film would drive most people crazy. I like Kevin I'll probably watch this. Why not? Kevin's just like us, well maybe he's a little richer but you know.
-
i like the chilled out Randall, the 'too cool for school Randall'. The Randall in this trailer seems to be a lot more animated, even too much so.
-
After Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, I heard that this was the last time the two would be in a movie. I;ll definately be there on opening night!
-
"I hope this movies drives Smith into the red ink!"
I hate to dash your hopes, sir, but at the five million dollar budget of the flick, we're pretty much already in the black, thanks to foreign sales alone. Even if Weinstein spends another five to ten marketing the flick, and even if, too, absolutely no one attends the theatrical release, DVD makes the film extremely profitable in week one. That's why we made the flick as low-budget as we did: there's no risk for all involved.
Regardless - thanks, all, for giving the trailer a try. Thanks, especially, to the folks with kind things to say. Hope those that check the flick out dig it as much as we do. Hope those who refuse to see the flick check out the next one instead. And hope those who believe Jason Mewes is still a junkie (instead of an ex-junkie) check out the link below. It's the first of a multi-part series about Mewes' recovery from heroin addiction.

...she better be at least as hot as Rob Zombie's wife. Otherwise you know it's just "WAAAAAHH!! RICKYYY!! I WANNA BE IN THE SHOW!!"
-
I really like it and I'm looking forward to it.
-
I still wish KS had the nads to tackle green lantern on celluloid. Anything but this tired shit. And the self deprecating bit by crossing out Jersey Girl was wack. You made the fuckin thing stand by it. If it didn't have Bennifer in it, it might have succeeded. Anyways, cant knock a brotha for cashin in the chips, but this shit looks tired. Sometimes fanboys will slop up anything you throw in the trough.
-
It only feeds the haters! Now go take a bath in your tub-o-money and count me in line on opening day. Shit, I saw Mallrats TWICE on opening weekend but it didn't help much. Vulgarthon 2005 pics tommy1138.bebo.com

That's what I WOULD be saying if I was a crazy billionare, but I'm not. More pics of Vulgarthon 2005 http://www.myspace.com/tommy1138
-
Does that include her bedroom scene in "Alexander"? Or am I immature or something cuz I like seeing her boobies bouncing around all naked and stuff...?
-
This is a sequel to Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. I like Kevin Smith, but these characters are creepy cartoon versions of their earlier incarnations. It's like an entire movie made out of the last five minutes of Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. I actually admire that Smith talked all that shit about not doing these kinds of movies anymore, and then changed his mind when "Jersey Girl" bombed and decided to do this. That is a little pussy, sure, but to just flagrantly not give a shit about having changed your mind is kind of awesome. And I'm not being a smartass, seriously that's cool to just say "I changed my mind." But then to do it like this? I don't know, I am hoping that, like Dogma, the dogshit stink of the movie itself is dulled by some good lines and some good performances. I just wish I didn't have to lower my expectations so much for a film by a guy who used to make genuinely good movies.
-
Only part that made me laugh. What can I say, I'm a child.
-
Would you like some making fuck?
-
And help put his daughter through college. Here comes my $10 bucks dude. And I can't beleive the shit you guys talk about his wife. WTF!? It's the guy's wife! What has she ever done to you? The way some of you guys behave is shameful.
-
Why did the trailer look bad? It was in the vein of the original Clerks trailer... albeit with color. Did you expect the trailer to be a laugh riot or something? And it's a frickin' trailer... would you rather it be one of those many studio trailers that puts all of the laughs in trailer... spoiling the actual film? Smith isn't making fucking Lawrence of Arabia you guys. He knows it. You piss and moan about him taking on different genre's like in Jersey Girl, and then piss and moan some more when he offers up something old school. Point being, fanboys will never be happy. Have some faith, go see the movie, and if you don't like it, that's just fine. But you won't like anything if you set yourselves up for a disappointment. I'll never understand the prejudgemnet on this site. A picture of Superman comes out, and you frickin' tear it apart, saying the movie is going to bit. I thought the trailer was awesome. For the record, I'm not a HUGE Smith fan overall. Loved Clerks and Dogma. Didn't care for Mallrats. Jersey Girl was a good switch for him, although a bit depressing. Jay and Silent Bob? No feeling either way... it was just there. Needless to say, Smith changed the film industry for many people when Clerks debuted. He opened doors for struggling filmmakers. So, wait til the movie comes out and show some respect. Raging on Mewes drug problems and even on Smith's wife??? What the fuck? Donkeypark is right, just shameful. It's a wonder why Smith even bothers with you guys anymore. But hey, at least you have Bruce Campbell (enter sarcasm).
-
You can tell Mewes is sober when you see him in the clerks 2 stuff or Degrassi or Project Greenlight, he looks sober, healthy, clean. Second, I'm happy for him, he always makes me laugh in anything, so good deal that he is gonna keep making me laugh. One day at a time, buddy.
-
long time talkback reader firt time commenter, I think the trailer was funny , and this looks like its going to be the best kevin smith film in a while (not that the others were bad this one just looks really good)
-
Must say, that trailer made my day.
-
But I'm not putting her in movies next to Eliza Dushku, Shannon Elizabeth, and Rosario Dawson either. You can't throw someone in a spotlight of that nature and expect them to come out unscathed.
-
Publicly and repeatedly saying that Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back is going to be the last film from the view askewniverse, then having his first non-askewniverse film bomb, only to go RIGHT BACK to those characters. And when he blames Jersey Girl doing bad on the over-exposure of Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez it makes him look like a cry-baby. And isn't accurate anyway. The film was bad. People didn't want to see it. That's all. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were as over-exposed as any celebrities EVER when Mr. and Mrs. Smith came out but it did just under half a billion world-wide. Billion with a "B".

I think Clerks is a classic, and not only is it funny as hell, it was groundbreaking. It's a rare thing to start your own sub-genre. Mallrats is hilarious, as is Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. The other ones I can do without. And I sincerly hope that Clerks 2 is funny, because I will be seeing it in the theater. Like most of you, even the total haters.
-
Creepy.
-
Not well edited, no. But I DID think it was funny.
-
Like I said above I have some mixed feelings about this but I can at least be a grown up and positive. Well done Jason keep it up, and Kevin make whatever you can for as long as you can. People will like it or not regardless of actual style/content.
-
I'm excited to see this flick and I knew there were others out there. It's just as easy to define yourself by what you like as what you hate. And it's more fun. Glad to see there are people out there who still get stoked about movies.
-
I like how randall seems to be getting some decent screentime this time around yo!
-
i have to admit that JUGGFUCKLER's '...as reprehensible as the man who made JERSEY GIRL.' line is funny as hell. well, not as funny as his name, but still...can't wait for CLERKS II, just sorry it's not in black and white
-
I wonder if that is where Smith is going with Jay in the "Got Christ" shirt and Mewes being clean himself. And Randall's line "everything I do is not a waste of time, it's all building towards something" is gold. How many of us have worked a shitty job while daydreaming about doing something bigger and better? How many still are? Can't wait to see where KS takes these guys.
-
no qucktime at work, no internet at home
-
Respond to the one guy who has a weak argument while ignoring all other criticism.
-
And now we have to hear from all of the teenage Kevin Smith fans how we were "owned" (I feel gay just typing that.) I hate all of you lousy basterds.
-
Christ, someone had to say it.
-
I just hope there will be some Quick Stop action in the flick. For old times sake, you know?
-
You were owned

Enjoy. You can see the cooter and everything.
-
..but does anyone here get to hit a fine piece of ass like that each night? (aside from myself of course)
-
*paraphrasing* "I'm not wasting my life. It's all building up to something", "Only one 'Return of the...'and it's Jedi, not King!" and "Some of them even go Ass to Mouth" All priceless Randal. Oh, and Jason Lee's "You guy's are 32 and flipping burgers? Anyone else from our graduating class back there?" I love the original Clerks. Can't wait to see this!
-
Admirable post, man. You've responded with maturity and grace and without stooping to the level of the other monkeys on these talkbacks. (And I do include myself in their shit-slinging ranks, hate to admit it but I've had my lapses on some of my moodier days...) I'm impressed and even a little inspired. Peace.
-
...but more importantly when you watch any of the behind the scenes stuff for Clerk's 2 Kevin's wife seems to be smart/sweet/funny as well. Damn. That is awesome. Knock off the hate people. It's not as if we've been introduced to the Yoko Ono of geekdom. It's not as if the guy made two cool movies and then made a stinker about his wife shipwrecked on an island with some italian dude and... see my point?
-
...just how many of you guys have actually SEEN Jersey Girl? Like, actually watched the movie the whole way through, and looked past your blind hatred for Kevin and all things Ben Affleck and J-Lo related and just tried to be ENTERTAINED, and how many of you read the reviews and concluded it sucked. I mean, people constantly bitch about the guy "going back to the well", but when he actually does something personal, that's not full of Jay and Bob and dick and fart jokes, people say it's the worse flick the guy has ever made, ranking even below Mallrats.
It's just mind boggling how something like that works... -
it's a chick flick, and they all suck.
-
I got dragged to the Notebook and I really enjoyed it. Of course one does need a chick to drag them out to a chick flick and judging by some of the negative posters on here the phone isn't ringing...
-
The soundtrack is rocking so far, if it keeps along with teh trailers.
-
Most of you can't even get a girl and never will. I think Kevin's lucky to have a pretty wife like that. Who supports him in his work and is even willing to get involved. More power to the happy couple!, and sweetass trailer. I'm still laughing about mannequin skywalker lol.
-
anybody know the name of the song when Jay is dancing, or is that just stock trailer music..
All in all, im impressed and cannot wait for this movie...Loved the first one, and still have hopes to see the animated Dante and Randall return one day! -
bottom line. he makes more money than you do.
BITCHES! -
When Kevin Smith's involved, it's PWNED, not owned; e.g., Mrs. Kevin Smith PWNS your sorry micro 'nads.
-
This trailer is so bad it's not even worth dissing.
-
I just watched it now and it looks fucking cool! The filthy talk. The Jay as only Mews can do. The VERY little peeks. Not to mention the VERY promise of everything we loved about Kevin smiths original films. But some of you don't like the man so why are you even here. I've yet to see one person give a detailed critique of Smiths work. In your critique be sure to make mention of if you are a fan of LotR's or Star Wars. Just so more of you personality can be determined. ta.
-
The song is called "Goodbye Horses" by Q.Lazzarus. It's from the BB dick tucking scene in Silence of the Lambs
-
by Psyche.....meh, I'll DL them both and see
-
Y'all need to find a different target, 'cause Kevin still RULES, and he always will. So, you lonely, sad people, get a life, or at least start bashing,ummm, say, how 'bout not bashing anybody? Ooooh, there's an idea...
-
You come here and bash talkbackers, while at the same time tell them maybe they shouldn't be bashing people. Thank you for taking time out of your exciting life of playing Tarzan with Kevin Smith's cock, to bring us that little bit of hipocrisy. I used to think Smith was an ok guy, until he and his band of merry clonetroopers starting sounding like those smug elitists from last week's South Park episode.
-
Theres your critique. Much like Lucas, he gets reliable people to sound like idiots: check out Dogma and Jay and Silent Bob - most everyone involved comes off freakin terribly. Only with Chasing Amy did he display some talent.
-
thank you, i knew it sounded familiar. the trailer looks hilarious, and i will enjoy this movie.
-
and wish only the best for this one but unfortunatly it opens on the same day as SNAKES ON A PLANE...Clerks 2 doesn't stand a chance at the box office.
-
...people come to threads like this and say "Kevin Smith sucks!" as if someone reading it is going to say "Oh, you know, I really like Kevin's movies, but since some stranger on the internet doesn't like him, I'm clearly all turned around on the subject." I cannot think of a bigger waste of time. Some of you need to get over yourselves, no one cares about what you think. Believe it.
-
Let's see if the positive talkbackers who still get excited about movies can outnumber the negative Smith bashers. It's more fun than trying to bash the bashers. Have faith in the Man! He's making a flick with the intention of making people laugh! And by August we'll all be ready for a back to basics comedy after all the big budget eye candy. Can't wait!
-
The real 'Train Wreck' is gonna come August 18th. I'll be seeing Clerks 2, but Snakes on a Plane is gonna squash this like a bug.
-
Someone else brought it up, but I totally agree. A film about Jason Mewes' drug problems could be an excellent project for you. The film could mix fiction with reality. Starts off with Mewes in character on either the original Clerks, or one of your other earlier films. Once the scene is done, audience is surprised to see Mewes morph into a regular kind of guy as he walks off the set. We see that he is nothing like his Clerks persona (well, maybe a little to keep it interesting), and that he is battling with some inner demons. So we follow him from the set and into his life. Actors from your movies, including yourself, could play themselves, displaying the connections (if any) that they have to Mewes and their part in his eventual turn around to becoming sober. We see him hit rock bottom, and then on set in some of your previous films he was in... strung out, and then his journey to becoming sober and starting Clerks 2. Bummer subject, but can be injected with much of your humor seen in your flicks. I could see kudos critics-wise (not that you care about them) and maybe some award nominations for Mewes and yourself... if handled right. I'll even crucify myself on this talkback and tell you that I'm a writer working for a major studio (in development... low level) and would love to at least write the blueprint script... or some type of collaboration... not that you would need it. You know how writing is, once you get an idea for a story, it sticks in your mind. So yes, all you talkbacker fanboys... crucify me. I could care less. If you knew anything abou the biz, you'd know that you have to take chances.
Anyway Kevin... if you're out there, find out a way to contact me if you're interested. Damnit... now I got this damn idea in my head and I won't here from you. Bastard. -
Once again you have proved that you are a joyless, turgid prick. Once again, you have proved that the only person who cares about your opinion here is... well... you. On the bright side, once again you have made me say "Wow, my life kind of sucks, but at least I'm not THAT GUY." That always brings a smile to my face, so thank you. Keep up the posts for that reason alone.
-
Do you think anybody really cares what you think?
-
Aw, did I hurt your feelings? Poor baby. Keep it coming man, this shit is cracking me up.
-
I loved it. The beginning was great. Awesome references to Demme's Silence of the Lambs and Stop Making Sense (with the jambox).
