Clerks: 10th Anniversary 3-Disk Edition

Necronomicon

I got this today in HMV for €29.99 - a good buy. I saw it before and loved it, but found it hard to get. Never ordered it online either, so I was happy when this came out.
For fans, it's a brilliant buy. As I said, 3 disks:

Disk 1:

• Classic Commentary from Kevin Smith, Jason Mewes, among others
• Enhanced Playback Track
• Clerks: The Lost Scene
• "The Flying Car"
• MTV Spots With Jay & Silent Bob
• Theatrical Trailer
• Music Video
• "Clerks" Restoration Video
• Original Clerks Auditions

Disk 2

• Clerks: The First Cut (Extended Movie)
• All new audio & video commentary with Kevin and Crew

Disk 3

• "Snowball: The Story of Clerks" 90 minute Documentary
• "Mae Day" : The Crumbling of a Documentary
• 10th Anniversary Q&A
• Outtakes from "Snowball Effect"
• Still Photo Gallery
• Original Kevin Smith Journals
• Articles and Reviews
• "Reels and Deals" by Amy Taubin (Not sure but I think this may be an animated feature)
• "Rush Week" By Amy Taubin
• New York Times Review
• IFFM 1993 program note by Kevin Smith
• 1994 Sundance Film Festival program note by Kevin Smith
• "The Odd Couple: Sundance 1994" - By John Pearson
• Peter Broderick Excerpt From "The A,B,C's of No-Budget Film-Making
• Peter Broderick Excerpt from "Learning From Low-Budget

So, for any Kevin Smith freaks out there, it's a really good buy. I probably won't even watch half the special features, I buy most of these special features for the cool cardboard covers
Classic film.

Out of interest what age group are ye guys in that love Clerks so much. Seems to me that it's the kinda movie a lot of people growing up in the late 80s/early 90s love (in their teens in the late 80s that is). I just missed out on that whole Generation X period. I'v watched it twice but just can't see the appeal. Okay, it got a couple of funny bits in it but most of it just drags and seems badly paced.

First time I saw it (Well, only time) it was with a few friends who introduced it to me, all in the age bracket of 18-21. I am 18.

like necromomicon basically said, the film's appeal is rooted with 20ish people. it's probably the fact that it was written by kevin smith who was in his 20's at the time, and all the actors are young, doing things in the film that 20 year olds do today (i.e. nothing).

though i'm pretty sure an awful lot of people who pick up clerks x don't care about the film... just that it's kevin smith

I love how Kevin Smith's films all feel like it's just a bunch of mates making a film for a laugh. Re-using the same cast over and over again, in the films he's written, and the films he's produced. I haven't seen Jersey Girl and I wasn't too fond of Dogma, but Clerks, Mallrats, Chasing Amy and J&S Strike Back (not most people's cup of tea, but i enjoy vulgar humour) are great.

Jersey Girl is quite different to your average Kevin Smith film. I thought it was alright, worth the watch.

I couldn't cope with watching a film with Jennifer Lopez so put it off for ages. It wasn't AWFUL. It wasn't great.

That said, her character isn't around for long.
