I noticed you're a Mega Man fan. I hear the remix of Tomahawk Man's music (Mega Man 6) in the background. Rock on, bro. I love Mega Man.
Yup. Love mega man. A lot of the music I use in the background is capcom in general. Mega Man ZX is probably one of the most underrated video game OSTs of all time
I loved all 3 films. Part 3 was an emotional gut punch. Loved it. Smith did something different. Can't do the same film for a third time. It'd be boring. JMO. Becky dying gave it the proper emotion seeing Dante's pain.
The thing is, I don’t think a sequel to one of my favourite comedy movies needed to be a depressing wreck. Especially considering that Kevin Smith appears to have the emotional intelligence of a middle schooler on Xanax
I said what I said of the first version of this I won’t or can’t repeat myself.
The first Clerks, I haven’t seen in years, but I still remember me frequently replaying a scene due how well crafted the writing was. I liked the second one even though it’s a couple steps down. And the third one even tho it has its moments it was a bit too depressing for me. And there was no growth at all. I like the big “fuck you” moment Dante give to Randall, but the movie was such a negative departure from the ones that preceded it.
Also, your off the cuff treatment for part 3 was exceedingly better than the schlock we had for part 3. I doubt I’ll ever watch it again. And I can’t watch part 2 anymore because it has Rosario Dawson in it. I had nothing against her and still don’t as a person, but I saw a film she made in 2007 and it scarred my perception of her. I just can’t stomach to look at her. Pretty much killed my rewatchability for 2. I’ll stick with the first one then, I guess.
Later.
Part 2 was a product of the times based on another product of the time that just aged better.
What movie was that? I like Rosario Dawson even if I don’t like a lot of the movies she’s in. The movie kids she did is a partial inspiration for a project I’m writing lol
Descent. It’s a bad film on so my levels. It even fucked up its message. I recommend to not watch it, SERIOUSLY.
Clerks was shot for less than 30K, not 300K and none of the money was spent on post production effects to make it black and white, the film was shot in black and white.
Actually the majority of the budget was spent on licensing the music for the soundtrack. Making it the first time a movies soundtrack cost more than the actual film
@@generationwhyentertainment2455 That's also not accurate. Miramax's 230K post expenditure (marketing, printing and soundtrack) took care of the soundtrack and the legal representation before the MPAA.
The 27K budget Kevin put toward the film was just for EQ rental, the edit, and the IFFM entry fees.
@matthewblanchard9805 oh well I was just basing that on what I read. Oops
Point still stands clerks 2 and 3 suck
