• Howdy folks — Just wanted to explain why the site’s been loading so slow, in case you didn’t already figure it out — In addition to having a very visible net presence for the Clerks 2 teaser trailer (it’s been the top story at the highly-trafficed “Aint It Cool News” today), we’re ALSO getting slammed particularly badly due to the streaming nature of the trailer. Since not many folks have figured out a way to download and save the teaser on their machine to watch over and over, every re-watch is also hitting the server. So, we expect these slower speeds for at least the next day or two, until the large amount of view requests calms down a bit.

E-mail is also controlled by the servers, so we haven’t been receiving email messages until the wee hours of the morning, when traffic finally dies down. If a message or scoop you’re trying to get to us is bouncing back, or you’re not getting a reply, please try sending it again.

Of course, the slowness is an inconvenience, but it makes us happy — Obviously there is a BIG following for this film, and a large web audience very into it. We’re pleased that you’re receving the teaser so well, and hope you continue to watch it as much as you’d like. It’s tough to comment on the teaser having already seen the film, and being able to put all of the scenes into context. It’s even more fun to watch knowing what’s happening during each and every colorful clip that’s appearing on your screen. So, if you like what you’re seeing NOW, wait until you hear some of that brilliant KS dialogue that comes along with it. We can’t wait for all of you to see this one.
