Clerks II - Suckorama

I thought about 75% of this film sucked - really quite sad
- Dante Hicks was terribly acted, Silent Bob speaks (again!
OK it's nothing special now and shouldn't have been done in
the 1st place), and the storyline was embarrassing in
places. I guess this is what happens when you have Harvey
Weinstein's cock up your bum hole for a decade - your
judgement becomes impaired.

Saying that, there were a couple of funny bits, and Elias
was a cutie.

it is at least as good as the first one. very gross, and
yet very touching and genuinely feelgood in others.

About the only thing I loved was Jay's homage to Buffalo
Bill and the last shot. Shit it even made me download some
long forgotten Soul Asylum. But yeah not a patch on the
first one, some awful line readings and do us a favour
get-your-fucking-wife-out-of-your-movies thank you good day.

I particularly disliked the story arc - not one thing came
as a surprise, not one thing seemed to be particularly
creative (especially when held up next to Clerks). It just
seemed so self-indulgent & smug.

Which one is Kevin Smith's wife?

It's kinda hard to believe it's the same director. It's like
some lame Hollywood Director took a rough draft script from
Kevin Smith, added a whole bunch of trade clichés, expunged
any originality, and then filmed it and let Harvey Weinstein
edit it.

My god, this film sucks twice as hard when compared to the
first one, it's embarrassing.

i liked the first one, maybe moreso than the second, but
really only because it was the first. the second was
merely an extension of the first... but, it was done
probably just as well imo.

what is so disastrously worse in 2 that was phenomenal in
the first film?

Changed my life 4 sure.

Paul just wants the same cultural shock and change that the
first one had on society, and II came out and you prol.
watched it, liked it, moved on.

Whatever Thad, you're like 47 years old... you didn't even
watch this.

Thad, the first Clerks didn't shake my system up, I can
assure you... but this film... it's horrid: bad acting, bad
script, bad storyline, bad (and smug) direction. Total Film
gave this 5 stars! I would give it 2 maximum! I just found
it so awfully self-conscious and trying to capture some of
the uniqueness of the first film, and falling flat on its
face.

Clerks was some tiny independent film snapped up by Miramax
filled with quirky characters and stories; Clerks II is some
grossly indulgent film following a Hollywood formula without
any discernible trace of irony.

"Today is first day of the rest of our lives." Ugh!

BE TRUE TO YOURSELF. OK we get the fucking message,
we don't need it rammed into our faces you fucking fuck.
Kevin Smith has totally lost whatever little talent he had.

Im sure Hollywood would twist ones brain and thoughts, this

to be fair, being able to direct good acting was never one
of his talents.

No, I've never been a big fan, but this film... it's like
the polar opposite of Clerks. I cringed multiple times
during the watching of it.

seems like your biggest complaint about 2 was that everyone
had gotten famous since 1...?

No they haven't! Jay & Silent Bob, yes (and they suck in
this film - Silent Bob more than Jay); and I believe Affleck
makes a cameo... other than that, the two lead characters
haven't exactly become stars since.

I've noted my disappointments with the film.

Clerks 1 changed thad's life because he learned that he
actually could slob his own knob after he saw the film. He
then never went to parties (probably less than six total)
because he spent all weekend self felating.

Kevin Smith is a hack. The only reason he had the following
that he did was because of all the star wars references.

I hate Kevin Smith.

I suddenly got cold chills at the thought of people thinking
I actually liked Leary and rated him higher than Hicks...
