I loved Clerks and I truly believe that, no matter what else has been said on this board, Kevin Smith should attempt to recapture the magic of that fine movie. Basically, his last three movies and 17 or so comic books, could have simply been used in order to build a larger fan base. Think about it, he could easily set the record for highest grossing black and white movie of all time with Clerks 2, if he doesn't already hold that title with the first Clerks movie. There is NO need for him to spend much movie at all on this film, although I hope he would spend more on salaries for his original Clerks cast this time around than he could have the first time. I personally would be disappointed if Jason Lee is not in this movie, but I would be real pissed if his was recast into Dante's role. But Kevin Smith won't do that. This is a real odd oppurtunity for him, almost like T2. James Cameron got the chance to basically remake Terminator, with a huge budget and a different ending, when he made T2. Kevin Smith can do the same thing with C2, he will have a much larger audience then he did in the first movie, but I will be thrilled if C2 is made with the same basic plot (Dante and Randal have wild adventures during another boring ass day at work), and a different ending (Randal fucks a dead guy.... or something). O.K. I shut up now.
