9. Great film....
Other than Laughton's "Night Of The Hunter", the best one-shot directing job (Herk Harvey for COS)ever...

10. Harvey did a great job w/ that film.
I've always enjoyed the mood of the film. Small budget and yet they picked some of the best scenery.
Directors and producers of today could learn a little more from that movie.

11. I think it's called "Satirist, Social Critic, Stand-Up Comedian"
I'm pretty sure that's right.

8. Clerks X!!
Edited on Thu Jun-09-05 12:29 AM by opiate69
Yes! Isn't that "question/answer" panel on the bonus disc some of the funniest shit ever? "Nice boots. Here's a sandwich"... although, i am curious why "Kaitlin" wasn't there.. hell, they never even really talked about her.

13. LOL..one of life's little ironies...
The guy who plays Silent Bob is one of the most long-winded bastards on the planet.. hey, maybe next time we need a fillibuster, the Dems can just get Kevin Smith to drop by the floor of the Senate to talk about Star Wars.

14. So maybe that's why the name Silent Bob is so ironic!
