I don’t know if I am going to make it opening night. But hell or high water I will be there sometime opening weekend.
It is a tossup whether Clerks or Dogma is my favorite Kevin Smith film. (although, I think Clerks edges out Dogma by a hair).
Salsa Shark!
I’ll go see it after I listen to Kevin talk about it at Comic-Con. That will give me some insider perspective! 
The best Kevin Smith movie is Chasing Amy, bar none.
Maybe he meant Earl’s brother, whom I saw in the trailer.
The very funny Ethan Suplee has been in several Smith movies also.
Dogma (1999) (voice) … Noman the Golgothan
Chasing Amy (1997) … Fan
Mallrats (1995) … Willam Black
Drawing Flies (1996) (as Willam Black) … Ethan not a Kevin Smith movie, but kind of related as he was listed as the same character from Mallrats.
BTW: He was great in Evolution (2001) … Deke which is basically an Ivan Reitman made remake of Ghostbusters.
Earl or Jason Lee is good friends with Kevin Smith and has been in every Kevin Smith movie except Clerks.

I thought he was kidding. It’s enough that this is a sequel; there’s no need to repeat the past.
Two words:
Interspecies Erotica.
I’m going, but not on opening day.
I don’t know why everyone gets up for these movies. So full of in-jokes and tiny references, and then all these people who latch onto them.
I’d shoot myself if I ever got to the point where I was so obsessed with the minutiae of movies like Clerks.
Gee, thanks for sharing. So what minor inane thing do you like that we can piss on? :rolleyes:
Jim
You’re right, of course. I merely grabbed the first reference off the top of my head. In my defense, Dogma hasn’t been on TV lately.
I almost posted this myself, and then remembered where HSHP’s name comes from. You, sir or ma’am, have been whooshed. 
Can you explain the Whoosh, I appear to be missing the obvious?
I thought his name was from Scooby Doo.
Thanks,

Happy Scrappy Hero Pup was, IIRC, a children’s video that Randal (or one of his customers) mentioned in the first Clerks.
Actually, it was Happy Scrappy - The Hero Pup, a child’s tape a customer was looking for when Randal was on the phone to the distributor. He asks for it, after reeling off a long and very vulgar list of porn titles. In front of the Mom and the kid.
“$16.49 It’ll be here Monday.”
Happy Scrappy Hero Pup is the name of a video a customer wants to order for her daughter. Randal orders it along with this lengthy list of outrageous sounding pornos.
It’s classic.
Now I remember the scene. Color me whooshed. Good joke Happy Scrappy
Hero Pup, you got one victim at least.
Thanks Sean Factotum & Shamrock227

Have you heard the SotL “cover” of Alice in Chains’ “Down in a Hole” done as Jaime Gumb? Hilarious.
“Can you help me put this in my van…”
</SotL-r h>
Sorry, dude.
Thought you’d have picked up on it. I make the same joke most every Kevin Smith thread.
Here- for your edification:
The link has sound and is NSFW, so I have disabled it- remove the space between the happyscrappy and the .mp3 to get it to play.
I’ve never really enjoyed Kevin Smith films. They just seem… not well put together, or something.
Funny bits throughout, but never enough IMO to support an entire hour and a half of movie watching.
Clerks II, from the previews, looks kind of dumb IMO. And [crotchety old man]isn’t Kevin Smith getting a little old to be writing dialogue like this? Isn’t it kind of sad? “You’ve never gone ass to mouth” over and over again? Really? Is that clever or interesting?[/crotchety old man]
Anyway, I like smart movies with clever dialogue as much as the next movie snob. I just haven’t really seen this done well in Smith’s films.
-FrL-
I believe that’s grounds for divorce in most states.
I’m glad Smith decided to go back to doing what he does best. Besides, it’s not like Mewes would be able to make a living if it weren’t for Smith doing these films.
Oh, and Kevin? Me and my friends started doing the “gay hobbit” lines after we saw the first LOTR film (for some reason folks say I remind them of Randall), so we’ll be wanting our cut of the gross.
