  • This will likely be the last day for the big Clerks II stories, as we’re expecting most agencies who haven’t already got their info out to release their stories today. So, enjoy them while ya can. Here’s the first batch of today’s press and reviews:
New York Magazine: “The Man With 50,000 Friends”

“…Smith’s newest addiction is MySpace: I’ve been on since March and I’m closing in on 50,000 friends. So I feel like, Wow, that’s kind of cool.” The Weinstein Co. hatched a plan to promote Clerks II by putting the names of the film’s first 10,000 MySpace friends in the credits. They thought the contest would go for weeks. They had the names in two hours.”


Core Entertainment: “‘Clerks II’ delivers a foul-mouthed film about friendship”

“…Yet just when Clerks II is on the verge of going too far with either the love of lewd language or wallowing in pop culture references, Smith shows his maturity both as a filmmaker and writer by allowing his characters to show real emotion behind their Gen-X disguises.”


Hendersonville News: “Media for the masses from Silent Bob”

“…A third of my day is online either posting on the boards, on myspace or just answering e-mail,” the 35-year-old widely accessible author said during the recent press junket for Clerks II, the sequel to his 1994 independent breakout film which he shot at the convenience store where he once worked. “I’m the kinda guy you just can’t escape. Anyone that has an interest in my stuff, I’m happy to speak to and that’s perfect for the Internet because I’ve watched that audience grow over time.”


Canada.Com: “‘Silent Bob’ profane yet sentimental” (**SPOILERS**)

“…I think about Jersey Girl and Clerks II, and to me they’re both equally sentimental movies.”


Skewed & Reviewed: “Clerks II” (**SPOILERS**)

“…A true classic and easily the best film Kevin Smith has ever done. Do not miss this film.”


San Diego Citybeat: “An Inconvenience Store Truth”

“…I found that Kevin was more willing and more apt to let us stray from the script this time,” says Anderson, who has the bulk of the movie’s hair-trigger jokes against O’Halloran’s straight man. “Whereas the first one, for me personally, I wasn’t an actor, and I stuck right to the script and that’s the way Kevin preferred it anyway. This one, I just found him much more laid back and willing to deviate a little bit, to kind of have more fun with it.”
