9. Great film....

Other than Laughton's "Night Of The Hunter", the best one-shot directing job (Herk Harvey for COS)ever...

[xmas74]

10. Harvey did a great job w/ that film.

I've always enjoyed the mood of the film. Small budget and yet they picked some of the best scenery.
Directors and producers of today could learn a little more from that movie.

Star Wars Episode IV
Star Trek II
Citizen Kane
North By Northwest

6. Ah, the Bill Hicks DVD!

Good call!

[opiate69]

7. Yeah.. I just wishI could rememeber what the hell it's called..

(my neighbor borrowed it, so I can't just glance over at my dvd tower to find out.)

[Initech]

11. I think it's called "Satirist, Social Critic, Stand-Up Comedian"

I'm pretty sure that's right.

[opiate69]

8. Clerks X!!

Yes! Isn't that "question/answer" panel on the bonus disc some of the funniest shit ever? "Nice boots. Here's a sandwich"... although, i am curious why "Kaitlin" wasn't there.. hell, they never even really talked about her.

[Initech]

12. Yes it is! I was at the Mallrats Q+A in March

That was funny as hell!

Although surprisingly he talked about Star Wars more than Dante and Randal did!

[opiate69]

13. LOL..one of life's little ironies...

The guy who plays Silent Bob is one of the most long-winded bastards on the planet.. hey, maybe next time we need a fillibuster, the Dems can just get Kevin Smith to drop by the floor of the Senate to talk about Star Wars.

[Initech]

14. So maybe that's why the name Silent Bob is so ironic!
