Clerks 2! ...they still don't like you.

Damn, so happy this isn't coinciding with "muthafuckin' SANKES!!" anymore. I mean, sure, I would have likely chosen this, but all my friends were aiming for SoaP, so it would have been a little less enjoyable without them. And I can't believe the celebrities in this! Not complaining, but wow. Earl and Randy? I love My Name is Earl, so I rofl'd. Jason Lee kicks ass. There was also that one black lady with the weird voice, and that guy who looked somewhat Tarantino-ish. I think he was on ALIAS. Oh well. It still looks to be pretty good, maybe a little less serious than the original, closer in comparison to Mallrats. Either way, I'm happy.

EDIT: And holee shit, I've been an idiot this whole time. I never knew that Jason Lee played Brody in Mallrats. Damn, how could I miss that?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Wtf it's not black and white?

From the trailers, I have a feeling it won't be as good as number 1.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Well really that goes for all sequels. The second movie is almost always not as good as the first. Still that doesn't mean it'll be bad by any means.

why would they film it in black and white if they can afford to do it in color? that doesn't make any sense at all.
the only reason Clerks was even in black and white was because Kevin, Mosier, and Dave didn't want to worry about color temperature and lighting in an already cramped environment.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Some people feel that by adding color is loses the "feeling" of the original.

Ofcourse some people are idiots.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

THREE NEW CLIPS from the movie!

They are friggin' hilarious and just shows about Smith never lost his touch for good dialogue!

How ya doing, buddy?

Oh, classic shit here. I would definitely go see this movie, were it not for the fact that there has never been a good sequel to a movie. Ever.

- Robocop 2
- The Devil's Rejects
- And many more...

It's an opinion matter but the quality of those sequels can't be denied.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

The Empire Strikes back doesn't count, that was meant to be a trilogy, so it really doesn't count as a sequel.

The others... yeah, that's definitely a matter of opinion. The Devil's Rejects, for example, I thought was a terrible movie.

And also, who said anything about quality? I don't care how good a movie is made and how well it looks. If it sucks (like Devil's Rejects), then it's still worth shit to me.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

While Lucas was did have some of the ideas for Empire in place while making Star Wars (it wasn't ANH until it was rereleased in 1981), it was still then unknown if Empire would ever be made. It wasn't a "planned" Trilogy (ala LOTR), it counts.

Did you prepare all month for someone to knock sequels on a whole? If I wasn't mistaken, it sure seems like you had that list ready. Did you clap once you posted your reply?

Of course I was exaggerating, but I am very weary about sequels on a whole, there have been more bad than good, I must say. Also the thing I really meant to say "the sequel is never as good as the original". I didn't mean to say that all sequels suck. The fault is mine, I suppose.

PS: Very interesting about the Star Wars thing. Didn't know that either.

No, it took me a few minutes and a look at my DVD collection.

I just know more about movies than you do.

Probably more about anthropology too. No one asked about that either, though.

How ya doing, buddy?

"Good" (From your words) which is a term to denote amount or having instristic elements of quality in this case. It could also mean as opposing to evil or something that is enjoyable.

...Getting back to Clerks 2, was there any real reason Kevin Smith dropped the "The Passion of the Clerk" subtitle or was it just easier to say "Clerks 2"? I almost want to see it in color this time, but I also want to see it in B&W like the original. Maybe if it were to pull a Sin City and have only certain elements in the film in color, unimportant stuff like store merchandise or whatever... just to fuck with the audience or something.

I already went through this with acid, where I retracted my statement and rephrased it.

Just read a little bit more up, shouldn't be that much of a struggle, even for you... yup, right up. Right there. You got it.

Should teach me to watch my every little word, eh?

You left some things unanswered, specifically the part I said "what" to, Because it still needs some sort of explanation.

If you are referring to you editing your statements (As you said in the first quote in this post), they appear the same as when I quoted them, as I just looked right now.

Otherwise I have no clue what you're trying to infer, please be less vauge.

Well, I thought it was good, but strike it from your mental list if you'd like. I will admit it wasn't a superior sequel, but it was a good film nonetheless. Besides, you can't duplicate that kind (in 2001: ASO) of filming technique so easily.

--edit--
Well you're right. I did enjoy the film and it was a good movie but it needs not to be on the list.
I shall strike that out digitally (As opposed to mentally )

Look what I got myself into now. I didn't quite read your whole post, but here's the main idea: I've never seen a sequel that compared to the original, IN MY OPINION.

Forgive me, for I have sinned.

Well, Smith decided to do without because, well, it sucked. And he won't do it in B&W because A, he didn't want for the sequel to be the SAME, visually and B, it would cost a whole lot of money to have it transfered in B&W. This is the same reason, he wouldn't do a version, like Sin City, where certain aspects of the movie is in color because it was filmed in 36mm and like I said above, would cost way too much for a movie that had a 5 Million dollars budget. Sin City also was done cheaply but it was filmed in DIGITAL making all of the Post-Production tuning and effect way more easier and cheap.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Alright, that's perfectly fine. It was just you were all like "zomg no good sequels EVER. final judgement 4 eternity on this topic!". Then everyone was like
"O RLY?" and you were all "YA RLY" and then they were like "EXAMPLES!"
and you were "DO NOT WANT".

I thought he did it in B&W because it was cheaper... but I guess not since,

Since apparently it costs MORE to do without color.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

No. What I meant to say with the 'WITHOUT' was about the previous title, Passion of the Clerks.

I know shooting in Black and White is cheaper, but I thought the previous member said something about the fact that it'd cool if there would be a version of the movie where it'd be in B&W and then some objects or parts of the Backgrounds would be in color. THAT would cost a bit more.

How ya doing, buddy?

Oohh... ok that would make more since since I initally thought that...

Yeah I think I said that (Maybe someone else did too). From what I understand for Sin City's production was that hey filmed it in color, made it digitally B&W (Where some enviroments are just B&W naturally and others have a distinct 'pure' black overlay)and then RE-Colored parts deemed uh... needing color.

I was just saying that it would be a nice effect to have the movie use certain objects or even people in color since he will (?) be shooting Clerks 2 in B&W. If cost is an big issue then I guess not huh? :laugh:
