Deciding About “Clerks 2″
Wednesday, May 31st, 2006I recently remembered about the forthcoming release of “Clerks 2,” the sequel to Kevin Smith’s “Clerks.” I liked “Clerks” and I own it on DVD, but after viewing the trailers for the sequel, I don’t believe I’ll bother going to see it.
When I first heard about the sequel, I was not all that excited either. With the exception of “Chasing Amy,” Kevin Smith’s movies have seemed to go downhill since his debut film… enough, at least, I stopped watching them.
Still, the only thing that could possibly drive me to see the movie is pure curiosity. It’s hard not to be curious when a movie you liked has a sequel ten years later. From what I can tell, it won’t be worth the $9.25 it would cost to see it in the theatre. If I do see it on the big screen, I’ll wait for the discount theatre to be running it.
Why does it matter? It’s just a movie, right? Sure. I guess I just feel that if something isn’t broken you don’t need to fix it, and some things are better left untampered with.
I normally don’t do this either…
