This is the 10th aniversery addition of the film i have never seen until two days ago when I bought it, by now everyone knows what it's about so i will not waste time telling you what it's about

It's in black and white, I never thought I could like a film not in color but I guess I was wrong. This one was supposed to be jam packed with extras, there are a lot but it's a little under par for Kevin

Disc 1

This contains the original theatrical release version remastered I guess you can say with the original commentary, plus you get mtv spots with Jay and bob, these 30 second spots are worth the money by themselves

Also if you have dvd rom capabilities you can see the original screenplay for Clerks

Disc 2

Has the unrated original that got the film to bigger and better things with the original ending and a brand new commentary with video so you can watch them doing the commentary

Disc 3

Contains the full SNOWBALL EFFECT Documentary which runs about as long as the actual movie, this is where you learn all about how kevin Smith and Scott Mosier began there low budget film and got themselves discovered and made stars

There is a picture of Mosier of when he was younger, he looks just like some famous guy, it's Steven Baldwin, he looks just like him in this picture

There are other features like the 10th anniversery q and a and mae day there first film together but all in all if you like Clerks and Kevin Smith or even not this is something to have

The movie itself is Dramatic and Funny, it does have it points in dialogue where it makes me uncomfortable but that's to be expected with Kevin Smith's dialogue

The dvd features and the film itself deserve a 5 out of 5 because View Askew knows how to make there fans happy

Sounds good, what's clerks about though?  From what I've read it's just two guys in a convenience store or something talking for 90 minutes, but there's gotta be more to the movie than that, right?  the features sound awesome, though.  How long is the unrated version?

Well it kinda is but there's more than just the two guys, there the main ones but there are people having sex with dead people which there are laws now because we as humans needed that to tell us that's not right

Kevin Smith has a tendancy to have dialogue that makes you uncomfortable which is the only thing about his work in film I do not like, I have watched most of his films excluding Mallrats because I cannot aquire it many times and there still good films

The unrated version is ugly and grainy but hey I was watching the commentary and reading subtitles for the unrated version, there is a lot more dialogue basically
