Clerks 2 made me feel like I lived at the Mooby's. The way it was shot and how it looked makes me want to go back in time.

Same, it has such a realistic, mundane everyday life feel that I really like. Kind of reminds me of how episodes of Malcolm in the Middle were shot. Love that style.

Here is how I see it. Kevin wrote himself into Clerks twice. Dante reflects who he is (or was at that time). Randal reflects who he wanted to be. It's Randal that gets the best.lines. it's Randal that breaks the rules. If you can see both as aspects of Kevin's personality, it makes perfect sense that Randal, not Dante would make the movie

@jeffreyesguitar5129 Жыл бұрын

The care and love to make this movie in NJ and include people who care and whom they care about is why we love Kev's movies. I'd be hard pressed to find another film maker that cares so much about their own films like that.

Hah. Having now seen the movie... I love how O'Halloran looks over to Anderson when interviewer is talking to Smith saying how surprised he was that Smith wrote Randall to have the heart attack and not Dante. How these guys manage to sit through interviews and answer questions w/o spoiling and keep a straight face no less... NOW that's acting!!

Alan I fucking love you. I ran across the street told this guy Andy who had a tattoo shop at the time he then walked over with his green arrow comics right in the middle of set and started up a conversation lol. Kevin stopped working and just chatted it up with Andy when Andy came back he was like hey how about a free tattoo for telling me Kevin Smith was out there lol so I scored a win twice that day. So a big thank you from the bottom of my heart your the greatest Kevin Smith!!!!
