: I've read lots of POSTS on this board and others about people who
didn't see Clerks first, or they first saw J&SBSB and now they are
trying to see the other films. I was wondering, how many people have
seen the Kevin Smith's movies(Clerks, Mallrats, Chasing Amy,
Dogma, J&SBSB) in order and in the theaters. I myself have and I
actually saw Clerks at a Pre Screening. This question may seem
petty but it does have some meaning. Not seeing them in order or
seeing then on videotape first does change some of the
appreciaition. This is what I mean. Seeing Clerks and then hearing
Mallrats is coming out makes you really crave it. Chasing Amy was
very difficult to find in theaters. That made it worth the wait. Dogma
was even better because after Chasing Amy, I couldn't wait for Kevin
to just drop movie after movie. If you saw J&SBSB and then went to
the videostaore to rent the other four, it takes away the wait for you.
That also takes away the appreciation. Some of you may understand
what I'm saying. I'd like your thoughts on this subject.
