Clerks 2 is super cringey bad... clerks 3 is better... I think clerks, mallrats and chasing amy are his best... red state is kinda cool... but the rest are just super silly... jay and silent bob strike back is also ok... but Kevin Smith definitely lost his touch

2024-03-07 10:37:47 +0000 UTCWho finds this film boring? I've never met anyone that has find this film boring... it's so funny and clever...

2024-03-07 10:36:38 +0000 UTCSome other fun trivia: the film only cost $27,000 to make. And there’s a notorious alternate ending where someone robs the store and shoots Dante. The film is loosely based on The Divine Comedy (hence the name Dante) and the 9 “breaks” (with the words popping on screen) representing the 9 circles of hell.

2023-04-16 13:10:27 +0000 UTCI do recommend Clerks II and III. It shows Dante and Randal's relationship evolving overtime and still lots of great dialogue still in the same vein but also reflecting Kevin Smith's own journey and growth and thoughts about life.

2023-04-14 04:01:21 +0000 UTCDogma and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back are peak Smith; after that it goes downhill (although I do have a soft spot for Yoga Hosers in a so-bad-its-good way)

2023-04-13 20:31:05 +0000 UTCSuper excited for this! Dogma is fantastic and the entire Askewniverse is worth a watch.

2023-04-13 12:18:57 +0000 UTCLove it! I hope Wes Anderson makes it on your next Comedy poll.

2023-04-13 07:46:34 +0000 UTCidk if I would recommend all of these to non-KS fans, but Chasing Amy and Dogma are worth seeing for anyone.

2023-04-13 06:19:57 +0000 UTCyou should just do the Kevin Smith universe at this point: MALLRATS CHASING AMY DOGMA JAY AND SILENT BOB STRIKE BACK CLERKS II ZACK AND MIRI MAKE A PORNO JAY AND SILENT REBOOT CLERKS III

2023-04-13 05:50:11 +0000 UTCI love your reactions but this movie is so boring. Can’t wait for your next one.

2023-04-13 04:30:19 +0000 UTCI thought Desperado was a pretty boring generic Hollywood remake. Didn't even bother with the third.

2023-04-13 03:11:46 +0000 UTCHey TBR. I just wanted to say that I'm so glad you finally reacted to "Clerks"! If I may recommend something to you guys; I HIGHLY recommend that you guys react to EVERY, SINGLE Kevin Smith movie from this point forward as often as you guys can because, in my opinion, they are definitely worth your time. I believe the next Kevin Smith film is "Mallrats", which I think you're gonna get a kick out of. Also, if I may make another franchise-watching suggestion: as soon as you guys can, maybe start reacting to all of the "Star Trek" movies. It's similar to "Star Wars" in that it takes place in outer space, but that's where the similarities end. In my opinion, I think all of the "Star Trek" movies (from 1-13) will also be well worth your guy's time. I've been a big fan of your guy's channel for a while now, so keep up the great work! Hope to hear from you guys soon! :)

2023-04-13 02:46:43 +0000 UTCI haven't seen Clerks 3 but I felt like I was the only person who didn't like Clerks 2. I won't give spoilers in case Sam and Dan decide to watch, but a few confabs aside, I was hugely disappointed.

2023-04-13 02:22:42 +0000 UTCthat was my predicament this evening too.

2023-04-13 01:17:19 +0000 UTCIf you want to dig deeper into the 90’s Independent Film movement, you should check out Richard Linklater’s “Slacker” (1990). Kevin Smith has said that this is the movie that made him realize he too could make an independent film. Fair warning, it’s a weird movie.

2023-04-12 22:51:03 +0000 UTCI love the rest of the trilogy, but El Mariachi for me is just kind of a novelty. Not a great movie, but an early glimpse at some of the filmmaking techniques that would become staples in Rodriguez‘a future films.

2023-04-12 22:19:36 +0000 UTCWhy not both?

2023-04-12 21:57:23 +0000 UTCThe fucking macdaddies of Jersey? 🌹Dogma aswell

2023-04-12 21:45:54 +0000 UTCAaarrggh...you guys are killing me today. You have Clerks! Popcorn in Bed has The Departed! Decisions, decisions...
Steve Mercier
2023-04-12 21:17:17 +0000 UTCAnother cool movie made on a similar budget was El Mariachi. Highly recommended!
Marcus Cato
2023-04-12 21:16:07 +0000 UTCRandall was the best part of this movie in my opinion. He did such a good job with his delivery, and had all the best lines. There is an alternate ending where someone tries to rob the store after Randall leaves, and ends up shooting Dante. Obviously they realized that ending was too much of a downer and dropped it. :D

2023-04-12 20:41:55 +0000 UTCI was 18 and working at a convenience store when this came out. Talk about a movie talking to you. 😊 I was in love with all the old Askiewniverse. Clerks, Mallrats (the theatrical cut), Chasing Amy, and Dogma (which is hard to find...except somebody uploaded it to YouTube 😂). Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back is ok, but I like the graphic novel it was based on better. Jersey Girl is sooo underrated. Tears and laughs every time (and technically not connected to Jay & Bob). Everything else is a pass for me. 🤷🏻♂️

2023-04-12 20:32:28 +0000 UTCMy favorite will always be Dogma. Growing up Catholic like Kevin did, it was an interesting experience watching it. Esp with all the silly controversy around it at the time. Similar to the idiocy with The Last Temptation of Christ, crazily enough.
Donna Castellano
2023-04-12 20:24:24 +0000 UTCMallrats is not good, but it is fun. You just have to enter watching it as you would something like Porkys.

2023-04-12 20:15:37 +0000 UTCAround the time that Mallrats was in the theaters, I kept hearing about Kevin Smith, so I decided to rent this movie and fell in love with it. When I saw Mallrats I was hooked to his style and watched and bought all his movies. I remember watching the Clerks cartoon series on t.v. for it's limit run, and bought that dvd as well. And one of my absolute favorites, and probably his best funniest and most fun film is Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back. It is so very good. I also loved Kevin Smith's part in the fourth Die Hard movie. Up until the past decade I was a huge fan of his, but he has been rather questionable to me as of late. Still, I can always enjoy his early legacy.

2023-04-12 20:14:49 +0000 UTC"Try not to suck any d*ck on the way through the parking lot! Hey, you get back here!". Probably my favorite bit. Or "You can't rent here anymore!""YEAH!!!!!" Which my sister and I still say to this day.

2023-04-12 20:13:00 +0000 UTCClerks is Great !! 37 in a Row ;) love also the jaws Imitation!! Another Great one is Chasing Amy, Mallrats is not so good
Florian Meier
2023-04-12 19:51:26 +0000 UTCMallrats for me is just pure nostalgia. Saw it at a sleepover when I was 15 and we laughed so hard and quoted that movie endlessly.

2023-04-12 19:50:08 +0000 UTCThe ViewAskewniverse was very big for me in high school. Clerks, Mallrats, and Chasing Amy are still Kevin Smith's best.
Shaun Eberle
2023-04-12 18:56:37 +0000 UTCYou gotta watch jay and silent bob strike back😂

2023-04-12 18:25:00 +0000 UTCThey're watching the theatrical cut, in case someone is wondering.
