- Anyone catch the “Second Coming†subtitled version of the Clerks II logo on the MGM website? Still looks as if the film will head out, as Kevin said, sans subtitle, but here’s a neat look of what might have been.
- A small paper in Jersey called the “Holmdel Independent†filed a nice little article on our 2-day Vulgarthon event last week, which is now available online. Here’s a snippet:
… Split between the two theaters, fans on day one were shown a longer version of Smith’s 2004 film “Jersey Girl,†the yet-to-be-released “Catch and Release,†which Smith acted in, and a documentary about Smith’s film “Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back†titled “Oh What a Lovely Tea Party.†Also included was a documentary on homosexual bars in the South called “Small Town Gay Bar,†Brian Lynch’s comedy “Big Helium Dog†and “Clerks II.†On day two “Big Helium Dog†and “Jersey Girl†were dropped from the schedule since day one started at 10 a.m. and ran past midnight.
The sequel to “Clerks†and “Catch and Release†were a surprise to fans, who knew only that the day would include two secret films. However, “Clerks II†was definitely the highlight for many fans, some of whom had traveled to Red Bank from as far as Florida and Detroit.
Dan Drajesk from Massachusetts attended day two of Vulgarthon and said seeing “Clerks II†was his favorite part.
“I get to brag to all my friends,†he said about seeing the film almost two months earlier than its scheduled July 21 release date.
As for coming all the way from Massachusetts, Drajesk felt the day was worth the travel.
“Kevin Smith. Jason Mewes. It’s just a good experience,†he said.
We gotta tell you — If you’re reading this site and have never been to a Vulgarthon — Save your pennies for the next one, and make the trip. You won’t be sorry!
- A “spoiler-free review†of Clerks II has been posted at Slashfilm by a Vulgarthon 2006 attendee. The review is generally positive and also goes into what was said in the Q&A session after the film. No real spoilers, so read away.
- Cinematical has picked up on Kevin’s recent statements confirming that the direct-to-video Clerks cartoon movie WILL happen. No new info here, but it’s always nice to see word getting out. We’ll wait as long as it takes, because we know this will be a real winner when it comes out. And Kevin did confirm at the ‘thon that this WILL happen, regardless of the Clerks II box office take (which we’re expecting will be way more than enough, anyway).
- Whoo-hoo! The ultra-cool “Hold’em McNeil†Casino Askew deck of cards is now posted at the Graphitti Designs “Coming Soon†area. This cool, colletible deck is set to an MSRP of $19.95 and modeled after the cards that appear as part of Kevin’s custom-made poker table at home.
- John Hargrave at Zug.com is promoting his book and has a small Kevin/Clerks II mention at the bottom of the page.
