TCP1 Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 Kevin Smith Films in Order: 1. Clerks 2. Dogma 3. Mallrats 4. Clerks 2 5. Chasing Amy ("What's a nubian?") 6. Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back 7. Jersey Girl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weirdo_man Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 Really don't know how you could put Dogma over Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. Sigh. And also, I don't think Grindhouse is poking fun at anything. I think it's a serious attempt at the type of film it is. Otherwise the commercials would have comedy in them.

Jasx12 Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 I'm pretty sure Grindhouse is supposed to be a throwback to the actual "grindhouses". Theatres that would show all the different type of (laughably bad) exploitation films. I guess in between the movies they are going to show fictional trailers, to get ever more of a nostalgic feel. It's basically a zombie film and a slasher film shown back to back (Planet Terror and Deathproof, respectively) with fake trailers shown in between in homage to the 70s.

ACCBiggz Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 1. Dogma 2. Chasing Amy 3. Clerks 2 4. Clerks 5. Mallrats 6. Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back 7. Jersey Girl That's to show the gap from those. Strikes Back had its moments but overall was fairly bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get me wrong I laughed whilst watching it, but it really is a poor effort from the man who brought us the underground classic Clerks and the gloriously religious Dogma. Still it was better than Jersey Girl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jorge_JBR Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back is not a terrible film for what it is. It was meant to be a fun, slightly over-bearing comedy with dick jokes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And a comedy that doesn't make you laugh is a bad thing! I'm interested to see the Grindhouse double-bill! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

masterded Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Just went to a midnight showing of Grindhouse. All I have to say is I love it, love it, love it, and love it. I would go into more detail, but I will keep it simple. Violence, humor, and lesbians what could be better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trailers dont interest me at all, but I want to see the movie. For some odd reason I can't seem to put my finger on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Aussie Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 I finally saw the trailer for it today when I went to see 300. It seems to be quite old school in it's style but with a more recent coating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jorge_JBR Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 It bombed because it opened on Easter weekend. On the east and west coasts, it did very well. Everywhere else, especially the Bible Belt, it did horrible. Because the only movie that has violence in it that Jesus-Freaks in the Bible Belt would watch is the Passion of the Christ, which is one of the most violent movies ever, but I won't get into that. Plus, it just goes to show how much money Kill Bill would've lost if it would've been released as one movie. They should've released it as two, like they are elsewhere. But that would of course take away from why they made it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crychon Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 The reason it bombed is because people don't have the attention span to sit through a 3 hour movie, which is sad, as I totally loved the experience of seeing the double feature, but I've heard they're going to break the two movies apart, which just won't be the same. It makes me very sad that the damn Ice Cube movie did better than this, as much as that movie looks like a cinematic masterpiece... EDIT: Well, some 3 hour movies have done very well (Including LOTR, Titanic) but most of them have been bombing lately (Zodiac, Grindhouse) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/QUOTE] so you're telling me that everyone not on the east or west coast is a jesus-freak, so that's why this crappy looking movie (my opinion) did crappy? i live in texas, i don't practice a religion, but since i live in the "bible belt" i didn't go see it because it wasn't the Passion.....makes sense to me.....it couldn't be because it's a purposely crappy movie paying homage to crappy movies, which really doesn't sound interesting to your average person.....

masterded Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 First of all when did a movie not doing very well mean that it was bad. It seems that almost any one who saw it loved it. Hell that even goes for most critics. Also why would any one care if a movie they don't want to see does bad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like any time the subject of religion comes up, it is labeled as archaic or the solace of the stupid or uninformed. Quite frankly, that fact makes me sick.
