Yup, as I was still in school then, I was able to catch Clerks opening day (before, I’ll wager, most of the fucks here had even heard of Kevin Smith I’ll wager) Yes, the acting was suck in Clerks, however, it was his first film, made on a shoestring budget. Dogma would be number 4, there’s no excuse now.

>it wasn't Kevin's fault.
I wasn’t talking about film stock nimrod. If I MEANT film stock, I would have SAID film stock. The scenes looked poorly rehearsed and poorly timed. The actors weren’t sure of themselves. This looked like a second take, not a final take.

Yes, I know it was written before Mage II came out. It’d was a rib, nothing more. And you’re right, I did fail to catch the Mage toys. I’m blind, and my Seeing Eye Dog failed to tell me about them. I'll be sure and beat him tonite.

I don't think I could act well at all in that getup. Then again, I'm not an actor. However, there are many other actors who've had to wear FAR sillier getups who've done a much better job. Hmmm, maybe Affleck's not an actor either...
>She was in it for about 5 mins, SHUT UP!
That doesn't change the fact that SHE SUCKED!
