: : I do have to say while funny, Mallrats isn't my favorite of your flicks. For lack of a better word it seems to lack soul. When I watch Clerks, Chasing Amy or Dogma. I see a Personality there. Something which Mallrats sorely lacks. Don't get me wrong I like the film its funny and its entertaining, but it has no personality.
: You see I half agree... I think MALLRATS has a weak personality, and this proposed sequel makes me very nervous. I think, as I've stated, that losing as many people as they're likely to, will take it down to a place of having no soul... and implying that MALLRATS has none, too. And to be honest, I have enough trouble convincing people that MALLRATS isn't utter crap without its own sequel dismissing its characters and situations.
I agree, although I think a flick that puts al the characters we met in the 3 movies together in a diffrent setting would be really great. Maybe we can put the whole Holden and Alyssa "did they or didn't they" thing to bed for good.
