  • Well we certainly have your attention now, don’t we? It’s not even a ploy…It’s totally true. Kevin is looking for 50 lucky folks to watch a rough cut of what could very well be his greatest work yet, “Clerks 2″. Free of charge. Heck, you even get to meet Kevin and have a say in what you liked and didn’t like about the film. Some would pay ridiculous amounts of cash for such a chance. We’re offering it up free, via the View Askew website. Here’s Kevin with the full details:
So here’s the deal: we’ve got the cut down to an hour and forty two minutes, and I want to get the flick in front of an audience, to see how it plays. So I’m looking for fifty folks to come watch the flick with us, here in L.A., this FRIDAY, December 16th.

We’ll be renting out a small theater and throwing up a DigiBeta-projected version of the current cut of “Clerks 2″. The movie’s still rough (no sound mix and some unfinished visual effects shots), but it’s totally watchable nonetheless. This isn’t an official test screening (no cards to fill out or scores); it’s more about us getting a feel for the pacing, and seeing if there’s anything else to trim. Regardless, I’ll probably do a focus group afterwards, so be prepared to talk about the movie honestly.

Below is a sign-up list. I don’t want this thread filled with “I wish I could go” posts. If you can’t go, don’t post about it here. You don’t have to be from L.A., but since we’re screening it here, it’d be helpful (however, if you’re from other parts of the country – or the world – and you can make it out by the afternoon of Friday, December 16th, feel free to sign up).

I’m gonna be hand-picking the fifty myself. Attendance is gonna be based on how long you’ve been posting, what kind of postings you make, and ultimately, how trustworthy I think you are (Kate, your attendance is mandatory). Anyone attending will be signing a non-disclosure agreement; you’ll be expected (and legally-bound) to keep all the details of the flick under your hat.

So let me hear it below: why do you think you should be in the audience for this first look at “Clerks 2″?

You must be a member at the View Askew Web Board and post in this thread for consideration. So get on over there, state your case, and cross your fingers at being one of the fortunate fifty who get to feast their eyes on the first cut of Clerks 2.

Kevin continues to make it harder and harder to tolerate living on the east coast, that’s for sure! Have a good time, folks, and try not to let our piercing jealously hurt you through your PC screen!
