I've only seen the first one and I didn't like it at all despite liking some of Smith's other films. It was Kevin Smith, yeah? I must revisit it and see if it makes more sense now but I found it pretty dull when I watched it before.

First Clerks film is pretty deadly. Some amazing dialogue and a kick ass soundtrack. Love the video store buck taking the piss out of all the customers.

Watched Top Gun Maverick tonight. Did exactly what it said on the tin and did it well. Flight scenes were class, and in fairness all the rest was only ever going to be padding around that.

Watched that last night as well but fell asleep just around where the 2 lads met up in the forest so will have to finish it later. I wouldn't say it was good but it wasn't too bad up to that point

Kevin Smith is a bit of a spent force now. Clerks 2 wasn't great. He's become a bit of a mouthpiece in recent years too. No denying the early movies were class, though.

Yeah the first Clerks was inspired.

He should stay off the internet and shut the fuck up, like a lot of lads.

Just found out there's a new one out starring Michael Flatley, Eric Roberts and Patrick Bergin and directed by Flatley.

Stellar line up, hope it lives up to the hype.

4 quid into every film though so I'll definitely go to something

'Chasing Amy' is a Smith movie that gets overlooked, a little serious and more mature compared to his usual output. I think'Clerks' is a movie that hasn't dated well stylistically but at the time it was fresh and different, you kind of had 'to be there' to have any long  lasting appreciation of it.

That's a fair assessment because I watched it a few years ago and thought it was pretty bad and not funny but loads of people were raving about it

Yep. I don't think I saw it in the 90s but I did see Mallrats, Chasing Amy and Dogma back then and loved them all. Dogma is a truly great film.

Forgot about Dogma and I did really enjoy that one

Dogma is his best I reckon, must give that a look again soon

I think the Jay & Silent Bob film from a few years ago started out as a Clerks 3 script. It was fairly shit though, I reckon he's mined that universe enough and needs to just let it be
