more movies


Or at least more movie... I watched clerks again this weekend because talk of Clerks 2: The Passion of the Clerks coming out next year had me in need of watching people belittle the customers. Man this movie rocks.

And the next one should be just as good.

Reasons I love Amazon.com: Good Prices, and trivia and quotes from my favorite movies. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/fun-facts/B00000IQC8/ref=imdbdppd_ql_0/102-9356058-0898531?%5Fencoding=UTF8
These are a few of my favorites.
  • When Dante asks Randal whether he's ever thought about the fact that all prices always end in .99, most items behind them have a price that end in .95.
  • The offended customer in the "jizz mopper" scene is buying paper towels and glass cleaner.
  • Randall and the Happy Scrappy Hero Pup lady are not actually in the room at the same time. Jeff Anderson refused to read the list of porno movies in front of her, and particularly in front of the child.
  • The VHS cassette of this film is the most stolen video tape in video stores across the USA
  • Filmed at the same store in which director Kevin Smith was working at the time. As he was only allowed to film outside of business hours, the plot included an explanation for the shutters being always down.
  • Kevin Smith and Scott Mosier edited the movie in the video store next to the convenience store.
  • Clerks came out before Mallrats, but actually takes place the day after Mallrats.

and one of the best quotes:

  • Randal: I don't appreciate your ruse, ma'am.
  • Customer: I beg your pardon?
  • Randal: Your ruse; your cunning attempt to trick me.
  • Customer: I was only pointing out that you weren't paying any attention to what I was saying!
  • Randal: And, I hope it feels good.
  • Customer: You hope WHAT feels good?
  • Randal: I hope it feels so good to be right. There's nothing more exhilarating than pointing out the shortcomings of others, is there?
