Straight to video is for bad sequels to Disney movies and horror films, nothing more. Straight to video? Please. Yes, Clerks and Chasing Amy were good, as your argument suggested. Were they "successes"? Not in the Hollywood sense of the word. Do they have their fans? Yes, and many of them. Have you seen the goddamned movie yet? Probably not. So please, drop the subject. Stop predicting doom for Jersey Girl, because much like berating Gigli, it's old hat now. Wait until you see the movie... and if you see it on video, well, it's likely to be several months after its release.
