The problem with black and white is that a lot of people won't give it a chance. I was listening to the director commentary on the Pleasentville DVD, and he said that in a lot of test screenings people just got up and walked out when they realized a lot of the movie would be in black and white.
Though for an indy audience, I guess B&W is okay :)

: Cuz it's different. Even though I'm a huge VA fan, if I wasn't, and just saw clerks only, I would remember it alot more than any other movie I've seen. And I think the b&w make the jay and bob dancing scene sweet, the shadows help too. Not to mention it's a fuckin' hilarious movie anyways.
