Back in slack

If you’ve been living under a rock the past few months, you might not be aware that filmmaker Kevin Smith has been working on Clerks 2: the Passion of the Clerks, a sequel to his first movie (that would be Clerks for the slow kids out there).

Based on the Internet-only trailer that’s been put together, it looks to be damn amazing. The Clerks 2 site is looooaaaded with clips and mini-documentaries on the film’s production, and is an afternoon’s worth of time just waiting to be wasted away. It might be enough to keep you occupied until the movie comes out on August 18.

However, if you’re lucky, you might be able to see a little bit more of the film if you happen to be wandering through your local mall. According to New Askew, a few folks have been approached to participate in a focus group to view the impending theatrical trailer… which is surprising, as the movie’s going out unrated, meaning most major theatrical chains won’t be carrying it.

The trailer you can watch online doesn’t real spoil any of the movie, and is set to the incredibly awesome strains of Antrax‘s “Among the Living” (that being the remake off the Greater of Two Evils, not the original from the album of the same name). It’s so awesome, in fact, that I’m featuring it here (the original, not the version from the trailer- confused yet?). Every time you get that yen to see the movie, and feel as if you can’t one more minute, and might be forced to take out your frustrations on the cat (I am so sorry, Mr. Fuffles), crank this and try and work out that agression in a more productive manner.
