In Clerks, its hard to get a grasp on the outlay of the stores, I think. You only see one wide shot of the stores, and its near the begining. At one point I thought the Quickstop and RST were on different sides of the building. But they never show the store next to RST. In J&SBSB they actually show an angle that shows he store but its at such a steep angle you can't see no sign.
They should have paid the tatoo guy to let them take down the tatoo sign and put up "Gerbils Gerbils Gerbils". Oh wait, that went out of business.
: When my cousins and I went to Jersey last week we stopped at Asbury Park. We were at what we presume was the site of the beginning in Dogma (Where God is leaning over ther railing and the hockey kids come an beat him up). The only thing is the stores in the background were all dilapitated and boarded up. When filming did they spruce that up with a false front, or were we just in the wrong part of the park? When you stood facing the ocean off to your right was a verly large, run down, old theater.
: When we went to the Quick Stop we noticed a tattoo parlor next to RST (all part of the same building) In the beginning of J@SBSB did they use special effects to take it out of the shot, or did they just make it look like it was part of RST? I couldn't quit tell while watching the movie
: I'd appreciate it if anyone out there who might know could answer.
: Thanks Tony
