CLERKS 2 teaser is ready to check you out... would you like fries with that?

First... by KarmicRelief	Jan 9th, 2006 06:58:52 PM
to piss off the masses by singing K Smith's praises. God, help me - I love his stuff!
Excellent Trailer by Sean38	Jan 9th, 2006 07:02:36 PM
Showed you enough stuff to get you excited excited but didn't give away any of the jokes...well, except that one at the end. Nice job, Kevin.
We're still interested in these characters? by modlight	Jan 9th, 2006 07:02:43 PM

Second! by ZombiKiller86	Jan 9th, 2006 07:03:05 PM
This teaser rocks the fuckn' house!
Lame. The Clerks go work at Good Burger? by crazyeyezkillah	Jan 9th, 2006 07:05:31 PM
I wonder if talkbackers get slammed in this one?
I edited that trailer, btw by Sleeperkid	Jan 9th, 2006 07:06:30 PM
Yep. Me and my Windows Media Player editor. Took me all of 5 minutes. And thank GOD I had that Anthrax mp3 in my 20 gb harddrive. Whew!!!!
Kevin Smith ate my burger... by Terminator	Jan 9th, 2006 07:07:34 PM
And made a crappy movie about it.
More Rosario dancing... by splbrg75	Jan 9th, 2006 07:08:45 PM
pleeeeeeeeeease!
why's it taking so fucking long? by HypeEndsHere	Jan 9th, 2006 07:11:05 PM
Mewes looks like he's been doing some HARD stuff. And Rosario Dawson may in fact be perfect. physically.
nice to see Dante working in some Just For Men product placement by HypeEndsHere	Jan 9th, 2006 07:12:12 PM

They've been talking about it for most of the day now in the by Citizen Arcane	Jan 9th, 2006 07:12:23 PM
Timely. Anyway, very good editing job with the trailer. Don't know about the guys being fast food servers instead of clerks. I hope "Waiting" didn't take all their jokes.
I'm surprised the company can still operate by chrth	Jan 9th, 2006 07:13:02 PM
Considering all of its executives (but one) were killed in Dogma

I'd say that trailer sucked but... by TheAllSeeingEye	Jan 9th, 2006 07:14:24 PM
I'd be afraid Kevin Smith would get his own talkback again and make some crude joke about semen and my mother or some rehashed gay joke. Oh, what the hell...it sucked.
stop teasing me and DO ME ALREADY by microwavable?	Jan 9th, 2006 07:18:37 PM
it was a teaser, that's it. i had no idea they were going to be working in fast food - but i like how the whole universe sort of comes together with Mooby. it looks like it has potential, but the random hotties (blonde chick and Rosario) really stick out among the pasty white guys. no complaints though.
crap... by Everett Robert	Jan 9th, 2006 07:20:12 PM
I don't know what the trailer looks like, my work computer won't let me use quicktime...any way it's available in Media player yet
A Kevin Smith trailer with no dialogue? by eg4190	Jan 9th, 2006 07:20:53 PM
That's like a George Lucas trailer with all dialogue. Smith's visuals don't exactly drum up enthusiasm. This could still be good if the movie contains, you know, people talking. And I just noticed it for the first time, but Dante looks a lot like David Brent.
Looks good by Dignan	Jan 9th, 2006 07:25:16 PM
I'll give Smith and friends my 10 bucks.
Yeah, the whole thing does rely on you already being a fan of th by Citizen Arcane	Jan 9th, 2006 07:25:36 PM
It's a bit arrogant and self important. DANTE! RANDAL! JAY! SILENT BOB! See it! Fine, I will. I don't know what the people who don't know who the fuck any of those people are will say. But then it is just a teaser
Dante looks like a satanic Ricky Gervais by chickychow	Jan 9th, 2006 07:29:47 PM
and i mean that in a bad way
Dante looks like mirror universe Ricky Gervais by Orionsangels	Jan 9th, 2006 07:30:40 PM

Doesn't really add anything.. by quadrupletree	Jan 9th, 2006 07:33:48 PM
You're right, it's nothing we haven't already seen at this point. Seems a little soon to be putting anything out, I mean they just wrapped on this thing didn't they? I'd rather they waited to give us something substanstial than give us a montage clip and hype it as a trailer.
oh that's funny, I was just coming on here to say how I' by TheSeeker7	Jan 9th, 2006 07:47:00 PM
And that blonde was Mrs Smith/Jennifer Schwalbach, right? So, she's no longer a journalist and is an actress now? Wow, let's see a Jessica Simpson pull that stretch.
Dante got fat! by fiester	Jan 9th, 2006 08:01:20 PM
Here come the fat jokes. Randal was always the funniest character Smith ever created. I will probably see this. I know how much KC likes the rapes and I saw a bit of both the loathesome Affleck and creepy Scientologist Jason Lee, so maybe one of them will get raped in this flick.
I'll watch it just to see...... by Jimmy Jazz	Jan 9th, 2006 08:04:12 PM
Rosario Dawson bounce up and down some more. I have NEVER seen anyone even close to that hotness level work at a fast food place. If that were the case, I might even start eating fast food again.
I can't wait by ClarkK82	Jan 9th, 2006 08:08:48 PM
I think this should be awesome, if not ground breaking. It should also be fun to see if people who wanted Smith to get away from the Jay and Silent Bob Universe and ended up hating Jersey Girl will get behind this one.
It was cool. by iamnicksaicnsn	Jan 9th, 2006 08:08:58 PM
But I guess I'm kinda disappointed that we found out they go work at Mooby's. That would've been a fucking amazing reveal. It could be a good premise though, but some guy up there was right, I hope it doesn't turn into a "Waiting" with 30-year-olds. Actually, the more I think about it... this movie is fucked because of "Waiting." Still have to see it, and actually hope that Smith continues using the universe.
Speaking of trailers... by kintar0	Jan 9th, 2006 08:20:49 PM
there's a new Silent Hill Trailer at gametrailers.com and it's sweet!
Affleck? by Randall Flagg	Jan 9th, 2006 08:23:06 PM
(copied from other article) I thought I remembered Smith saying that people like Affleck wouldn't be in the flick, that he'd be exploring his roots, so to speak; yet Affleck, Lee, and Suplee are all in the trailer. Granted they all look like they have small parts, but I thought he said he'd avoid even cameos. ::shrug:: Good to see Kevin Weisman (a.k.a. the only watchable part of Alias) in there though. I'm still looking forward to this, though still with mild trepidation.

lame trailer by Holodigm	Jan 9th, 2006 08:28:20 PM
randall flagg's right. but that dialogue at the end was high-larious.
Affleck is a talisman for the film by Citizen Arcane	Jan 9th, 2006 08:28:28 PM
Kevin has a deep seeded fear of success. So to make sure the film doesn't do TOO well he darkens his door with Affleck, if even for a brief cameo. With his poisonous box office mojo infecting the production, its ensured to not be too successful and lets Kevin keep it real.
someone needs to show Smith's webmaster..... by Jarek	Jan 9th, 2006 08:32:52 PM

Oooohh Sweet Rosario by ELGordo	Jan 9th, 2006 08:47:44 PM
That woman is so beautiful. Funny endline in the trailer.

I think you get the idea.
and Rosario Dawson is full on naked in Alexander... by crazyeyezkillah	Jan 9th, 2006 08:54:06 PM
Well, naked and fighting Colin Ferrel off, which does kind of ruin it. But she has fabulous boobies.
Isn't 13 an unlucky number? by spidermanfreak20	Jan 9th, 2006 08:55:31 PM
It's been 13 years since Clerks 1. This film could pull in 13 million opening weekend...or in total 13 million. After this Smith should try a Wood Allen (sounds like a drink) and make some sort of Match Point type film. Something you'd look at that you'd never associate Smith doing. How about a court room drama like A Few Good Men. Or a period (ha ha period) piece like Lion in the Winter. You get what I'm saying. Something that has great dialogue but could have been made by other directors yet being made by Smith is just that much more amazing. That's my advice for Smith make a movie that's all talking but talking from a genre some consider dead.
I got wood. by spidermanfreak20	Jan 9th, 2006 08:57:36 PM
Damn I forgot to type y for Woody.
Trailer looked funny. The movie will be funny. Kevin Smith is do by Doom II	Jan 9th, 2006 09:09:06 PM
No other director is as loyal to his fans as Kevin is. Sure, he's not everyone's taste, but who is? Michael Bay? George Lucas? Rob Reiner? Cameron Crowe? All those directors have fans and all have haters, but NONE are as kind to their fans as Kevin is. He realizes that he has a nice house, lots of extra cash and a chance to make more movies thanks to his fans. I am not a Smith apologist either. I do not like Dogma or Jersey Girl so much, but am a big Clerks, Mallrats & Amy fan. I have met 5 directors in my life and Kevin is one of the nicest in person (although a bit stressed out at Vulgarthon). My ONLY 3 beefs with Smith is his willingness to whore himself out on shitty tv shows (Tonight Show, Yes Dear, Veronica Mars, Degrassi), his insistence on putting his ex-journalist (non-acting) wife in everything now and his hatred of Family Guy. Other than that, he's cool.
Smith hates Family Guy? by kintar0	Jan 9th, 2006 09:12:31 PM
Well, that's one thing we'd agree on. Family Guy sucks.
Wasn't this going to be a continuation of the cartoon? by Anna Valerious	Jan 9th, 2006 09:14:55 PM
It was going to be called "Clerks 2: Still Clerkin'" where Randall gets a bright idea to film a cinema verite documentary about their jobs...sound familiar? And about the animated series, I had always thought of the idea of having a bouncer outside the video store I used to work at, lining people up...and I'd prolly be just reading manga inside, not caring.

Free beer, free pot, ladies flirting, and I don't have to talk! Thank you, Kevin Smith. Because I kinda look like you I can put on a hat and a coat once a year and get fucked up for free.
he hates Family Guy??? by Captain Katanga	Jan 9th, 2006 09:49:29 PM

If you ever needed proof that Kevin Smith hasn't grown as a by LeiaDown&FuckHer	Jan 9th, 2006 10:12:19 PM
How completely fucking lame. The hardcore Smith devotees will love it of course, because, well Hell, they always do, I mean most of them even love Jersey Girl for fuck's sake, but I think pretty much everyone else is waking up to this particular one trick pony by now. After all, there's a damn good reason why he still hasn't had that break out hit, it's because most people are sick of watching the exact same shit only slightly moved around or set to slightly different backgrounds over and over and over again. And now that everyone knows exactly what to expect dialogue wise from Smith, and knows every damn beat that he throws out there backwards and forwards because he's put the same shit out there repackaged so many times, people are also waking up to the fact en masse that he can't direct for fucking shit. I mean people bitch about Paul Anderson or Michael Bay, but those guys are fucking artistes compared to Smith's lumbering and stylistically dead on arrival "point the camera in the right direction and shoot people talking" so called style. Succeed or fail I just wish he'd at least try something different, take some risks (and no, the cloyingly saccharine and disneyised Jersey Girl doesn't count), but at this point I don't think Smith has the balls to actually go out there are try to do something outside of his comfort zone, so all we get fed is the diminishing returns of the same stale old shit over and over and over again. As I said, how completely fucking lame.

That was pretty corny, The_Lion... by crazyeyezkillah	Jan 9th, 2006 11:03:26 PM
Most teasers let you know a little about the story. Your movie is about a dude who's chilling in the desert with a rifle, wearing a poncho, with a beard, apparently. Rad. You really probably shouldn't have put your phone number on your website, either.

...well I thought it was pretty badass. I didn't read a goddamn thing about the plot of the movie but put a dude with a beard in the fucking mountains in jedi robes and I am sold. I hope he shoots fuckers and stuff. And I hope he is an American, like Rambo or Snake Plisken. Good luck. I want 2 tickets to Sundance or worst case scenario, a preview copy of the direct to Blockbuster deal.
...and then by Darth Philbin	Jan 9th, 2006 11:19:32 PM
I read the plot. Sold, solid. It's like "Wisdom" for liberals. Even Jesus hated organized religion. I know. I read the book. P.S. In the sequel, please blow lots of shit up in Utah.

points for using berserk music in that trailer by 81666	Jan 9th, 2006 11:28:53 PM
but two different genres, remember the power of the mindless slaves can be nasty. i myself haven't been entertained by smith's stuff since clerks and chasing amy, but damn if that rosario dawson doing that little dance/hairflip thing isn't adorable!!
5 bucks on The Lion... by drewATX	Jan 9th, 2006 11:33:32 PM
x-military, huh? That guy would gnaw Kevin Smith's face off and use the blood to polish his rifle. An Evening With the Lion: Roar Harder would be an instant classic methinks. I don't have anything against KS though. Clerks and Chasing Amy were excellent. He has really created his own Universe and manufactured his success from the ground up. Its all about likeability and Smith is pretty much the most likeable guy on z planet. By the way, I respect all of you.
BERSERK is my favorite story ever. by The_Lion	Jan 9th, 2006 11:34:56 PM
Kevin doesn't have the balls to face me. He talks mad shit about "Motherfuckers use fake names to talk about me!"... but I am using my real name. Will Kevin step up, or not? I have written a novel, and had it published, in hardback and paper, by Simon & Schuster.... the most prestigious publisher on the planet. Does Kevin have the balls to face me in a screen off?

Did anyone even see Waiting? by brendahamLincoln	Jan 9th, 2006 11:48:38 PM
What the hell does Waiting have to do with anything? Oh dear, people work in a food related industry, better release it 5 years later, just in case people get Clerks 2 confused with that movie with the Milonakis kid. PS - Rosario hates when the little spermies get caught between her teeth.
The_Lion vs Smith by El_Barstardo	Jan 9th, 2006 11:49:18 PM
Hahaha! I love it! Finally someone stepped up to Smith's challenge and proved they arn't a nobody virgin living in there parents basement. This will really test Smiths character - someone has backed their claims up - is Smith big enough to do the same. And I have to admit, for a 'trailer' with 1 scene of nothing happening, the plan actually looked interesting.
I actually read The Lion's book... by Smalltown	Jan 9th, 2006 11:54:44 PM
"Delusional Film-School Pissant". It's a really chilling look into the mind of a failing independent filmmaker... think Bowfinger except not at all likable in any way... who, having exhausted all sane avenues toward making his movie as he's not really that talented, has a nervous breakdown and comes out the other side believing that if he can childishly insult an established an successful filmmaker on an internet page long enough, that filmmaker will love him for his "honesty" and be his best friend and find him a studio backer and bring him food and water and smite his enemies and stroke his hair as he goes to sleep at night. He's obsessed with the idea that if he can just trick him into meeting him and seeing his student film, even if it's through adversarial internet flaming, he will look at his movie and they will lock eyes and open-mouthed kiss and all his dreams will come true. It's this sad hilarious hideous kind of a cross between "The King of Comedy" and that Eminem song "Stan" and, oddly, "Tales of a Fourth-Grade Nothing". It's a really uplifting work, in that, you're really uplifted in knowing that at least you're not that guy. Had no idea it was a novel, though, got it in the autobiography section.
What? by RobTheIdiot	Jan 10th, 2006 12:12:06 AM
You people are just plain nutty. People complaining about what movie KS finally decides to do are some of the same morons complaining about everything Lucas did. No one owes you anything! And I agree with brendaham, like Waiting is the pinnacle of moviemaking. Sure, it's probably got a lot of the same audience, but who gives two shits? And I know it's been said a thousand times, but you knew it when you clicked on the link, didn't you, you knew that you were get on the talkback and bitch about it. God, some of you people are just dense. Why the hell am I wasting my time doing this? What the hell is this world coming to?

I like it. It works. Now does this mean "Passion of the Clerks" has been dropped for the title "Clerks 2". I hope so. "Clerks 2" works just fine. I love the LOTR dialogue on the end. I'm starting to get excited about this now.
View Askew by Mr.Soap	Jan 10th, 2006 12:30:54 AM
I could have sworn I read somewhere that "Jay and Silent Bob Strikes Back" was going to be the last movie in the View Askew universe and that Smith was going to concentrate on other projects outside of that particular world. What the hell happened? His films are entertaining as long as you done have to watch them a second time.

Awesome trailer. by Mr. Anderson	Jan 10th, 2006 01:14:07 AM
It had Kevin Smith's hot wife, Rosario Dawson, Jason Lee sporting his Earl 'stache, and Marshall Flinkman. And it appears that this film will tackle the important issue of geekdom transferring it's collective obsession from Star Wars to Lord of the Rings. And also Kevin Smith's hot wife.

This TRAILER is a TRICK!!! by Hideo Kojima	Jan 10th, 2006 02:19:22 AM
All of this either takes place at the end of the movie or in a dream sequence... most of the film takes place at the good old quick stop. my two cents...
hey Lion by BendersShinyAss	Jan 10th, 2006 02:46:01 AM
you surprise me for someone claiming to be a film maker. All you do is talk shit to everyone, revel in your own self stated superiority, and post a trailer that really wasn't that exciting. Here, wanna see mine? http://media.putfile.com/equid trailerwmv I admit it's notging really fantastic. but it was never really meant to be. I just love making films. And I don't hang shit on other film makers. I band with them in a kindred kind of way.
WTFis the internet?!?!?! by EbenBolter	Jan 10th, 2006 02:57:29 AM
The Internet is a communication device that allows people the world over to bitch about movies and share pornography with one another. Here's what we're looking for: "Movie PoopShoot.com" "PoopChute." Yeaaahhh. This is a site full of militant movie buffs: sad bastards who live in their parents' basements, downloading scripts and trading what they believe to be inside info about movies and actors they despise yet can't stop discussing. This is where you go if you wanna hear frustrated would-be filmmakers mouth off with their two-bit, arm-chair-director's opinions on how they all could've made a better Episode One....
I kinda liked it, BendersShinyAss... by crazyeyezkillah	Jan 10th, 2006 03:00:38 AM

Oh shit I forgot by pants009	Jan 10th, 2006 04:32:39 AM
Wait since I commented on this website I might as well talk about how "shitty" something is... "I hate movies"... "I hate entertainment" blah blah blah Serenity is awesome... I will again ask this question of the talkbackers. Why do you hate so much? If you spend ANY of your time on this website which (I believe) was made for people who love movies, why does everybody who ever "talksback" fucking hate everything they ever see? Rock on Kevin Smith. Rock on anybody working in the movie business. I'm working on getting there, but it's fucking hard. Mik Throntveit

Nice trailer, Bender by eg4190	Jan 10th, 2006 04:39:31 AM
Looks like you worked in some inventive effects on a small budget. The digital age has produced way too many pretentious, talentless Fellini wannabes; I'm always happy to see digital work that doesn't take itself too seriously and has fun with the limitations of the medium, rather than trying to make the next 8 1/2 for $5,000.
fun trailer, odd talkback by Westoun	Jan 10th, 2006 04:39:32 AM
How in the fuck does such a small clip bring out such lunacy? I thought it was pretty fucking funny myself. Nothing earth-shattering, but then it's not meant to be. Yet most of the nay-sayers are acting like Smith just shat in their mouth. Or maybe they're upset that he didn't. The Lion certainly seems upset about something. In any case, Smith's made me laugh enough in the past to pay to see this one.
Hey, thanks to George Lucas, you too can make a film in your own by BendersShinyAss	Jan 10th, 2006 05:05:46 AM
It'll take you prob a year in post though. hehe. Thats what I love about Kevin Smith doing what he's doing. He's just making his own films, his way. He has a following and he goes with that. Champion film maker. But don't think for a second my effects are better than Dogma. Jesus, you don't see any shit monster in my film!

Hey Lion by Ultimo The Duck	Jan 10th, 2006 06:37:44 AM
On what planet, exactly, would a Hollywood director with a studio backing accept a "private screening challenge" with some film school guy who hasn't been able to get the job done? Bear with me, it makes no sense on a couple of levels. Firstly he's become accomplished in his field and while many folks don't like his movies, many folks DO like his movies. Everyone movie isn't for everyone and enough folks like his movies for him to have a contract with the Weinstein Co. Secondly, from a business standpoint, why on earth would his bosses (Bob and Harvey) ever allow him to do such a thing, even if he felt like it? You talk as if you're the better man for throwing out some childish chalkenge to screen your movie against his in a room full of people who don't like his movies. Chances are he'd still get the better reaction as these are the same folks who line up for Q and A's and ask their burning questions. What has he got to prove to you? The true challenge is getting your movie bought and released and building a career. You want to challenge the guy? At least be somewhat realistic about it.

The Plan teaser by Ultimo The Duck	Jan 10th, 2006 07:56:55 AM
Wasn't a teaser at all. It way more of a "Hey, I took my video camera on vacation with me, let's get some shit on tape."
You know, The_Lion... by DocPazuzu	Jan 10th, 2006 07:58:02 AM
...it just might very well be that you have some talent when it comes to motion pictures (although that teaser was a bit too bland to decide from). However, there are a couple of things wrong with the way you choose to make your presence known here. First of all, you're acting like a complete asshole. If you had been a little bit more friendly, humble or at the very least sportsmanlike, I'm sure people would not make too much of an issue with any perceived flaws they may find in your work. With your attitude, though, even the slightest weakness in your film will be seized upon and used to beat you into a figurative pulp by anyone who thinks you're a wanker (there will be quite a few). Being self-confident and convinced of the righteousness of one's chosen path in life is all good and dandy, but being a dick is just that: being a dick. If Vincent Gallo can't get away with it, why on Earth would you think you'd be any better at it? Second of all, challenging KS to a film-off is truly sad. I enjoy most of the guy's movies, but he's not exactly the epitome of cinematic art or some unassailable fortress of Wellesian stature, the crashing down of which at your mighty hands will win you fortune and acclaim across the civilized world. And how exactly do you judge a cinematic competition between a lightweight, geekcentristic, comedic film and what looks to be a dour, self-important meditation on all things Tom Lowe?

Kevin's got his vision and you have yours. Live and let live, man. Leave the antagonistic bullshit to the studio execs butchering each other with sub-standard producer-driven films.

If you're going to pop in this late in a discussion like the half-assed gadfly-in-a-box you usually are, at least read the relevant posts beforehand -- it might make you seem a bit more intelligent than you actually are.

Interesting website, your movie doesn't sound like something I would go see, but I'm impressed that your following your dream, and I hope that you make it in the biz. I do think you took your exchange with with Smith a little to personally, he was just goofing off on the net, I doubt he took it to seriously, and probably didn't expect you or anyone else on here to either. I love most of Smiths movies, except for Mallrats and JASBSB, they were ok, but I like it when he mixes in some serious themes with the dick and fart jokes. But, his work isn't for everyone, but it all just boils down to personal opinion. I am sort of interested in your novel, I couldn't find it on Amazon, was it under a pen name? Anyway, good luck with the film career, and try not to take this talkback shit so seriously, it'll just give you a headache. And thanks for your service to our country. Oh, and to the other talkbackers ragging on Smiths wife, we must be looking at a different woman, she looks like a babe to me.

As a black man myself, I figure you didn't purposely intend to throw that hatred word out there rather you intended to use the deluting "nigga" reference to be light spirited. If that's the case, I'll let it slide; though it's kinda a norm that only blacks should use that slang. Personally, I don't care for ANY one using the word but I understand some of the connotations and intonations for using that slang.

You make a good point. I'm not too fond of Kevin's penchant for sinking to our level (I said our, not yours) and answering TBs. However, he is playing defense. And it's not Lion's use of obscene gerunds that ignites my ire. It's just the attitude in general. "You movies suck, my movies don't." This kind of bullshit misses the point entirely and makes the TBs unbearable at times. We're all guilty of it occasionally but it would be great if he and others would identify exactly what about Kevin's movies "suck" so we can discuss instead of just calling each other "motherfuckers" and inviting one another to "throw down." It's all so tired.

Smith & Family Guy answer............ by Doom II	Jan 10th, 2006 01:02:46 PM
Smith is either bitter that his Clerks cartoon was quickly cancelled and Family Guy was picked back up 3 years after cancellation or he is such a hardcore Simpsons fan (well known fact) that he will not give Family Guy a chance. Either way, he HATES Family Guy and Seth McFarlane. In fact, in an episode of the Clerks cartoon, they show the animated show writers holding a book entitled "Lazy Movie Reference Jokes Made Easy by Seth McFarlane" (or something like that. Clear as day. Kevin's fans on his viewaskew.com site (being the mindless ass-kissing automatons they are) all seem to back him up that Family Guy sucks and The Simpsons rule. It's fucking stupid. Kevin will not even DISCUSS Family Guy. When asked about the show, he will say "Next question" or just shake his head. I think he's ass-hurt that his little Clerks cartoon (which should NEVER have gone to network tv in the first place. HBO anyone?) was a failure and the cancelled/resurrected series Family Guy has a LEGION of fans worldwide (it's HUGE in Britian as well as the US).
Wow...lots of fun stuff in here today. by Childe Roland	Jan 10th, 2006 01:03:10 PM
In order of importance, first, BendersShinyAss, your parrot friend reminds me of a joke. This old guy is sitting on a park bench, just staring at this pierced, spiky green-haired punk, who finally looks at him and shouts: "What're you lookin' at, ol' man? Ain't you ever done anything wild in your life?" And the old man smiles and says: "You know, it's funny you should ask that, because when I was a younger man I was in the Navy and one night I got so very drunk that I had sexual intercourse with a parrot. Now, looking at you, I can't help but wonder how old you are and where you're from." On another note, I'm a little bummed that Clerks 2 appears to be in color. I thought the black and white of the original was about as close as Kevin's ever come to making a non-verbal statement in any of his movies, and it worked for me. Maybe there's a reason for the color, though. Have to wait and see when I rent this. Meanwhile, for Randall Flagg and the choice of music on Smith's trailer: Sometimes 19 is just 19. I doubt this movie's about you. And, finally, The_Lion, the Wizard called and he wants his courage back. You apparently have no idea how to use it. He'll trade you for some of the brains he had left over from the Scarecrow. Trust me, it will be an upgrade for you.

Is Kevin Smith Dried Up? by cabsau	Jan 10th, 2006 03:51:40 PM
I (only) kind of like the arrogant overrated bastard. There's something sexy about the way he keeps talking about sucking cock. So, is Kevin dried up? Is he out of creative juice. Is he trying to prime the pump by revisiting the work from his youth? Oh GOD not "Chasing Amy II!!!" I haven't seen anything decent out of the guy since '99's Dogma and I'd venture to say that was top of form for this guy. Dude...

I didn't spot him in it...Oh, and by the way, Affleck was the bomb in Pearl Harbour, yo! Hey Smith, if you are reading these talkbacks again for the craic...answer me this: when the fuck are you gonna come to Dublin and do a Q&A! I saw you're "Night with Kevin Smith" DVD or whatever. I nearly soiled me caks on several occasions...get your tubby butt over here and entertain us live! You know you want to!
"not grown one iota since the first Clerks as a director" = hors by Tall_Boy	Jan 10th, 2006 04:40:42 PM
His movies look a hellova lot better now, and this time he's not working with a fancy cinematographer, no, he's got D.P. Dave from the original Clerks behind the camera. Dialogue and plot wise? I have no idea. But just from that trailer, the dude can work the camera alot better now, for sure. Hell, just look at that swoop in shot of Randal near the end, that's a great little move there.

nomad202 and Batman Beyond Reboot by one9deuce	Jan 10th, 2006 04:46:53 PM
My fellow talkbacker and fellow filmmaker wannabe, that trailer was horrid. Sorry, but it has to be said.****************** As far as Clerks 2 goes (thank GOD he dropped the "Passion of the Clerks title) maybe it will be funny in the way Jay and Silent Bob Strikes Back is funny, but it can't really have the impact the original Clerks had can it? And Kevin isn't a very good filmmaker, but he can definitely write funny dialogue. What is up with Jason Mewes? He looks like a totally different person. His features look all chiselled and shit. And his eyes look "hard". Hopefully he is still funny as hell.

The_Lion by one9deuce	Jan 10th, 2006 05:48:37 PM
Yeah, you are coming off like an asshole. The problem with that is this: If your film is shitty, then you will look like a total/complete idiot. If your film is good, then you didn't need to throw down this "challenge" in the first place. But judging from your trailer, it isn't looking too good for your film. A teaser like that works for something that has a built-in audience (like if a teaser only showed the batsignal, and then summer 2007 or something) but your teaser has nothing saying "watch me". Oh, and did you shoot in Lone Pine, CA? ************* I don't get all the fat virgins with no social skills saying how Kevin's wife is not attractive. She is in a league that all y'all ripping her won't ever reach. That being said, she does look old. Older than she is listed anyway. I didn't recognize her from the trailer. I thought she was some actress playing a "Jerry Hall" type, who is way older than Dante. Jennifer's imdb bio says 1971 was her D.O.B. Might want to check that birth certificate Kevin!

This Talkback Thread Has A Menacing Vibe That Speaks To Me by skoobyx	Jan 10th, 2006 08:13:16 PM
Start the insanity!
Oh And I Wanted To Say by skoobyx	Jan 10th, 2006 08:18:33 PM
I have a bad feeling about this drop but Smith is actually brave for doing a followup to Clerks which I personally consider to be the funniest film of the nineties. Actually I personally consider just the scene where Olaf sings 'Bezerker' to be by itself funnier than any other film of the nineties. There's a lot of pressure on this. It can't be easy to win universal acclaim, hit a backlash and then return to your greatest triumph. Anyway here's hoping it does not suck.
Aw, c'mon... by kintar0	Jan 10th, 2006 08:22:39 PM

Wait... by Smalltown	Jan 10th, 2006 08:57:58 PM
I get it. It's "The Plan" because it's actually a joke-movie, you're a PARODY of an obnoxious wannabe film guy. This is all an Andy Kaufman-esque cyberprank. Man, phew. I couldn't believe that you were actually this naively arrogant but... "The Plan".. it's a fictional sequel to "Plan 9 From Outer Space" and your entire online personae is sort of a 21st Century Ed Wood sorta thing? Awesome. My faith in humanity is slightly returned. Man, Lion, what other characters do you have lined up for us? A prop comic? Maybe a country-style stand-up who deconstructs Jeff Foxworthy-style comedy as he goes? An obsessed fan of Harmony Korine's? Awesome.

Hey moviemack. for a guy who claims to only visit this site two by Thirteen 13	Jan 11th, 2006 02:54:09 AM
If you claim to drop in only every two or three days it usually gives your claim more credibility if you ACTUALLY do only drop in every two or three days. And where is your buddy ringbearer9. Is he still holed up in a corner convinced all movie critics are part of some big grand conspiracy to give thumbs up to every movie he hates before he sees it.
poor ol Ringbearer by BendersShinyAss	Jan 11th, 2006 03:49:38 AM
he got himself banned under his other name Goatzinger. Shame too, 'Jurrasic Kong' never got old.

Actually, Bender... by DocPazuzu	Jan 11th, 2006 04:02:56 AM
...Ringy and Zingy are two different people but they did get banned at the same time, hence the confusion. However, homewrecker should be here at any moment declaring that both Ringy and Zingy are yet two more of my secret arsenal of identities. I do suspect both R9 and GZ will be back under new names eventually, though.

So Kevin can rip on Family Guy in the commentary for his animate by Citizen Arcane	Jan 11th, 2006 06:01:02 AM
But all the people on the net who rip on his stuff are just jealous losers. Ok. The Family Guy isn't high brow comedy but it's fucking funny. Not all comedy shows have to have deep social commentary, not even the animated ones.
Hight Art - that's what this is. by Mr Bungle	Jan 11th, 2006 08:15:03 AM
Wong-Kar who? Hyukky! I like most of Smith's movies and this is probably the most important and eagerly awaited sequel I can think of. Love the trailer, Among the Living playing just made it better.
Ringbearer and Goatzinger by Mr Nice Gaius	Jan 11th, 2006 09:20:41 AM
Did they really get banned? I remember ol' Ringy declaring, after the "King Kong" TB fiasco, that he was going to take a break from AICN. Goatzinger was just loony. So, are they really gone?
i hear ya Arcane by Peven	Jan 11th, 2006 09:38:48 AM
i like Smith's stuff ok, and get tired of the reflexive Smith-haters on here, but what the hell did Family Guy ever do to Smith to deserve shit from him? sure its low brow stuff, but like you i find it pretty fucking funny most of the time. and since when was Smith's stuff anything but low brow or maybe a small notch above anyway?
Mr. Nice Gaius by DocPazuzu	Jan 11th, 2006 10:05:22 AM
Yep, go back to some of the KK talkbacks and you'll see that all of their posts are gone. I had a feeling Ringy's fate was inevitable and actually cut and pasted his KK "reviews" which might come in handy for future giggles -- especially if he ever comes back.

re Ringbearer by DocPazuzu	Jan 11th, 2006 10:16:17 AM
I don't think it was his Kong shit that got him banned. Last time I saw him he was spouting some really virulent anti-semitic stuff in a Munich TB, and I'm guessing that's when the trapdoor was activated.
Doc Paz by Mr Nice Gaius	Jan 11th, 2006 10:25:05 AM
Holy cow, I had no idea. I wonder what it was that got Goatzinger flayed. I thought Ringbearer got away with a warning (watching him get called out by Moriarty in his own TB was hilarious) but perhaps he was contacted directly. If Mori's patience was tested, I'm sure Harry's must have been as well. Now I know what to look for: if your posts disappear, you're a goner. Well, I'm sure they'll try to take another form and return. And I will be on the lookout, patrolling the frontier when they do. Cheers.

RE: "since when was Smith's stuff anything but low brow or m by Citizen Arcane	Jan 11th, 2006 11:05:16 AM
Yeah, aknowledging that all you do is dick and fart jokes doesn't make the dick and fart jokes any more high brow. Being self-aware doesn't elevate the humor any. Still, big fan, I just don't think he's in a place where he can rip on another more successful venture while ragging on the common folk for criticizing him. Everything about the cat has a feel that he can dish it out but he can't take it.

Goat Zinger.... by BendersShinyAss	Jan 11th, 2006 11:13:12 AM
Got himself banned because Vern pulled him up on something and it sent GZ completely over the edge - like a robot thats just been asked to understand the meaning of love. He started posting, one after the other, sheer nonsense that had even me scratching my head. He even started cutting and pasting Ringbearers Kong posts. It really was one of the more bizzare of talkback moments. I just assumed that since the two talkbackers were banned at the same time, and since there was an obvious connection between the two - that they were in fact the same talkbacker. Can he ever come back? I heard the IP address gets banned, not just the account.
re the Zinger by DocPazuzu	Jan 11th, 2006 11:22:57 AM
He's been banned before, although it was a couple of years ago, I believe. The guy is notoriously thin-skinned and will fly into a spittle-flecked rage whenever anyone dares comment on his "performance art". Very strange guy.
Only the most utter moron would think "Jurassic Kong" was funny. by morGoth	Jan 11th, 2006 11:41:27 AM

Strange and indecipherable... by morGoth	Jan 11th, 2006 11:44:33 AM
...I could never understand him/her/it. I still say R9 was Orson of old. Too much of a similarity in the "Hate The Very Ground Jackson Walks On" mindset to be a coincidence.
morGoth by DocPazuzu	Jan 11th, 2006 11:57:50 AM
I'm convinced he was Orson. The pedantic insanity was virtually identical. I think he decided on a less pretentiously cineastic nickname in order to throw everyone off. So much for that disguise. However, Ringy does have competition in the form of Spidermanfreak20 (who, come to think of it, may actually be Ringy). The guy posted the longest and most anal diatribe I have ever seen, detailing why Pixar's Cars will suck. Check it out in the previous Kevin Smith talkback. It has to be seen to be believed. What a loser.
Holy shite, Doc Paz by Mr Nice Gaius	Jan 11th, 2006 12:25:44 PM
I just checked that post by Spidermanfreak20. Geezus, you weren't kidding. There is a tone there that is strangely reminiscent of ol' Ringy...I wouldn't be surprised if he's decided on a new visage. (That bit about revealing himself in time killed me.) And Orson is a handle I do recall from reading TBs in the past. But I never payed enough attention to think about comparing the two. In any case, he shouldn't be too hard to recognize for too long. His "style" is unmistakable.
Yeah, Doc... by Childe Roland	Jan 11th, 2006 12:39:41 PM
...I'm usually hesitant to hammer on someone else's verbal diarrhea (cha-cha-cha), as I've been known to trot on from time to time, but spideyfreak's manifesto was a little much for someone like myself, who feels compelled to read every fucking post in every fucking talkback, no matter how inane. Ah, the tribulations of being an obsessive compulsive masochist. Speaking of which, whatever happened to BroncoFan and his multiple aliases? I loved how, under whatever name he was using at the time, he'd always degenerate into tales of random honkings that escalated into road rage (on his part) and offered to send pumped-up, lubed-up ophotos of himself to all us "faggots" in order to prove what a manly man he was. Part of me still thinks he was the Andy Kauffman of Ain't it Cool News.
MorGoth, how dare you knock Jurassic kong by BendersShinyAss	Jan 11th, 2006 12:44:01 PM
The only joke in history you can repeat and it actually does get funnier, not more annoying. Actually, come to think of it, thats what Vern pulled him up on. Jurassic Kong hahahahahaha
Ah, yes... by DocPazuzu	Jan 11th, 2006 12:51:19 PM
...the comedic stylings of BroncoFan. I was under the impression that he also was Powermetal1, ForeverTJ, Landoasskissian, and Nintendo (after each banning respectively). He used to brag about having a legion of usernames registered and waiting to be used for the next decade, providing he got banned every two weeks or so. I especially loved his tales of forcing people to stop their cars on the freeway and beating the shit out of the drivers for flashing their lights at him. What a guy.

I really wanted him to make that Green Hornet movie so Clerks 2 seemed like pussying out. Never mind. Seeing the characters again has made me actually excited about the movie. Not that there's anything in the trailer but a list of who's in it, though that last gag is awesome! ------------ Bring on the fucking DVD! If big Kev doesn't cut a 50 minute feature of all the takes of Rosario dancing then he'll have me, and probably the rest of the male world to answer to. Good fucking god, she has NEVER looked hotter. ----------------- By the by, why is Jay trying to look scary and serious now? Look at his picture below the trailer. Looks like he's auditioning for a catalogue job or something.
