Welcome to Gaia! ::

Lets talk about Mallrats!

I am a mall clerk and as such have an appreciation for this movie. True enough that I have my "Fashinable Male" moments... more so during the Christmas season... but I've been working in the mall for about 4 years now.

Fun enough, we have had a mysterious stage errected in the mall before... roughly around Easter, but it didn't turn out to be a game show... it was a stupid fashion show. I think there's going to be another fairly soon. Maybe someone will make blue prints to bring down the stage whee

I'm glad they didnt go with the original opening though, it was a lot more drawn out and not as funny as the one they went with. I love that cousin walt story, its on my webpage somewhere readu to be streamed, all i need to do is link to it again, the file is there but no way to get to it sweatdrop

they filmed one opening they didnt go with that they changed sfter the rest of the movie, which explains the lines that refer to it, sonce it was orogonally there. That original opening is on the DVD i have if you wanna borrow and watch it

I don't know what it is about this film but nearly every person I meet that I happen to have a conversation about View Askew/Kevin Smith movies with will say that this is the only/first movie they've seen of his or its their favourite xp But to be totally honest, I do not doubt any of them when they say its the first movie they've seen of Kevin Smith. It was my first View Askew film xd And this was before I even knew of Kevin Smith confused Not until a friend of mine continued to talk about him then we ended up watching the whole quadrilogy, at the time xp

After watching the rest of the films though, I've got to admit that Mallrats, though it may have been the movie that popped my View Askew cherry, is probably my least favourite film of his sweatdrop Even with the greatness that is Brody, his monologue of Cousin Walt and laying my eyes on Joey Lauren Adams' bosom...I just didn't like this film as much as the others sweatdrop Along with Dogma but I don't tell everyone that 'cuz I know many people personally who think that its Smith's greatest movie xd Big rubber poop monster, Selma Hayek dancing to Candy Girl, Jay talking, eh that was pretty much it for me xp

I really need to start collecting the DVDs though sweatdrop I've got all the tapes, except for Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back which I do have the DVD for but bleh, I want the DVDs xd I've also, unfortunately, only have the Movie Network version of An Evening with Kevin Smith and Vulgar sad

I think it is a brilliant film and very underrated by people. There are some great shots and the Jay and Silent Bob moments all but make the movie.

I hate the editing they've made to Mallrats in order to show it on TV.... they're showing it on WE for crying out loud.... Women's Entertainment.... LAME!!!! stressed

Also it's 2 in the freaking morning... and it's cable/satellite.... I think they can get away with the words s**t, damn, and a** stressed . To boot, they needed at least a pack a day smoker to dub over Jason Mewes....

I love the soundtrack here. heart heart heart Bubbles is like my favorite Bush song.
The action scenes in it are sorta... I dunno, I don't want to say lame... but.. lame? Eh. This movie is so 90's in the best, best way. I wish I could have seen it in the theatres with all the other sweet people that must have been there. Hehe, I woulda been to young for any of them to want to chill with.
