    I didn't realise that this movie bombed when it was released!

    Excellent movie smile.gif The director really goes to town on how bad thier marketing company was. Turns out they wanted to fire Jay and wouldn't pay for him in any way.

    Who wanted to fire Jay? Kevin Smith or someone else?

    Complete $hite - a film cringingly bad. The fact that Kevin Smith managed to bracket this monumental pile of excrement with Clerks and Chasing Amy, two of the best 'indie' films of the last decade, is doubly amazing.

    Drivel.

    Mallrats is a classic. Easily as good as Clerks and Chasing amy. IMHO smile.gif
    Speaking of which, you should read clerks the comic book. Very funny and it contains the missing scene from clerks where they went to the funeral.

    Mallrats is a classy flick.

    That was the first film i saw Jay and Silent Bob, they're hilarious.

    And the girl is a ride.

    The people who were giving the money (sub company of Universal) wanted Jay fired.

    When he showed up first, Jay was hitting on all the women waiting to be auditioned.

    They told Silent Bob (I forget his real name smile.gif) that they wouldn't pay for Jays wages, wouldn't pay to fly him out and wouldn't pay for his hotel room. Also if they didn't like him after the first two shoots they were going to fire him.

    They wanted Seth Green (werewolf from BtVS) to play Jay.

    Bob rigged it so they did Jay's shots halfway through shooting so it would of been harder to fire him.

    The directors commentary though smile.gif They were comparing wages and how they got paid every time it's aired except it seems Jay.

    Breakfast?
    Breakfast schmekfast, look at the score for God's sake.
    It's only the second period and I'm winning 12-2. Breakfasts come and go, Rene, but Hartford, the Whale, they only beat Vancouver maybe once or twice in a lifetime.

    Oh, the eloquence of that.

    I thought it was pretty pants - in fact, it was so cruddy that the only thing that stays in my mind from it is the three-nippled psychic...*shudder*. it hink I actually slept through a lot of it.

    Craptastic. biggrin.gif



    Give me back my towel. I'll sue.
