Oh, MAN -t hat was easily the funniest scene in the move IMO. The kid playing Elias totally sold it, and Jeff Anderson's reactions were GREAT! So, assuming other LPers will see this (at least a few of us!), what was YOUR favorite scene? Make sure to keep the description appropriate for LP, of course. Oh, and I LOVED when Jason Lee finished telling Randal that nobody else remembered the pickle thing from high school, then in walks Jay, who calls him by that nickname! lol

Originally Posted By Spooky Ghost OH EM GEE! I loved it. Im a big Kevin Smith fan so I totally dug all the references. My favorite bits were Pillow Pants and Randalls LOTR rant.

Julie Dwyer, Randals little "walk" on the counter, "I assure you. we're re-open" This beat out Pirates as my favorite film so far this year. I was really supried how serious Smith got with it too, and i thought the last shot was really touching and sweet.
Originally Posted By Labuda Oh, btw, can you tell me, Spooky, if Jason Lee's character WAS mentioned in the first? And ken - yes you do need to see the first!
Originally Posted By Spooky Ghost I dont think so. I watched the first again just this past week to kinda get into the "Kevin Smith" mood and I didnt remember him being brought up. I intended to do the whole Jersy saga but I only got as far as Malrats and I was too busy to do the other 3.
Originally Posted By Labuda hehe yeah, kinda funny that we have a 6-part Jersey Trilogy, isn't it? lol

Originally Posted By Labuda Ah, thanks, Beth! Appreciate the info! And, glad to see you loved it, too! I'm right now hoping & waiting to hear from DH's friend Brady since we ended up NOT seeing the flick againw ith him last night, but we'll be seeing it tonight if Brady gets back in to town on time for the 8 pm show...
Originally Posted By iceknyght Add me to the list of people who LOVED this movie!

Originally Posted By BeccasMommy Saw this today, funnier than anything I've seen all year... the troll was called Listermint i think.
Originally Posted By Labuda Actually, I think it's Listerfiend, having seen the flick twice now. Oh, and DH is up to 3 viewings as of last night. hehe And, on first viewing, I totally didn't catch when Elias says "I hope that donkey doens't have a hiney troll" LOL

The Mooby's fast food place the "Clerks" group work in was filmed at a former Burger King just immediately south/east of Knott's Berry Farm. For those familiar with Buena Park ... there's a section where Beach Blvd. splits just past Tower Records. Beach Blvd. continues to the left .... Stanton Ave. begins .. and curves just slight right. It's at that "V" is where the Burger King (Moobys) was. Those familiar with this area might remember Van Dee Kamps with the windmill, Bobs Big Boy, and Sambos at the corner of Crescent. and Beach Blvd. They filmed in that area for 20 days ... and even though I don't live there anymore ... I would have LOVED to check it out! They ended up using the Days Inn across the street: <a href="http://www.daysinn.com/DaysInn/control/Booking/map?pid=13845&brandInfo=DI&MQZoom=8" target="_blank">http://www.daysinn.com/DaysInn /control/Booking/map?pid=13845&brandInfo=DI&MQZoom=8</a> I just can't get over ... that while I was supposed to beleive it was New Jersey ... It's the area I grew up in! TOO MUCH! The film was SOOOOO Good! Kevin Smith "brand" of filming (LOL) may not be for everyone. But he amazingly throws a sophisticated "punch" for what often is the lude version of the "Three Stooges" humor. I'm just trying to picture the Donkey scene going on in Buena Park!! :O) Just a spits throw from a "certain" magical kingdom on Harbor Blvd. ~ The Lord of the Rings vs. Star Wars vs. Jesus argument scene was one of my personal favorites!!! I gotta see it a second time!

Originally Posted By oc_dean I'll be going to the DLR this Saturday. I'll find out on my way down there. I'm wondering though if it may have been demolished. Last time I was in that exact area was in late May. Lots of construction, in that triangle piece of property. The film was obviously shot MANY months ago ... I'd say it's been 6 to 12 months. So I can't wait to get down there and check it out. I'll bring my camera .. and if it's there ... I'll link "Moobys" to my Epson photo account.
