I'd feel left out if I didn't at least voice my thoughts, but Kevin, I'm a bit mystified as to why you're asking for our feedback on this. I mean, if you believe that doing a Mallrats sequel would be a good idea (and would be fun) then go for it, man. All you're gonna get here is people either sucking your dick or ramming your ass about the idea (of course, based on some of your pervasive themes, you may be into either or both of those...just kidding Jen). You know we're gonna go, and you know that we'll love seeing you in full comic form. I guess what I'm saying is, if it feels good, do it. You don't need our opinions to make it happen.
So, that said, here's my opinion. I'd love it, but don't half-ass it just because you don't feel like Mallrats got its day in the theaters. If you've got a good idea for a story, and you can assemble the people needed to make it happen, then go for it. Without as much studio interference, I'm sure your humor will only come through better this time around. And don't listen to Jim Jacks as much (I did like "human browneye" better that "fuck," though). I'm really looking forward to Clerks 2 more, though.
