And Clerks is way overrated.

Actually, that's not entirely true. I went through the latest issue with a fine toothed comb and found a snippet article about the trilogy. Something like page 185 in the far left column. It was entitled "Film Controversy of the Month" or somesuch. It just had blurbs about the trilogy being released and the controversy surrounding. There were two outside quotes in it. One from some guy on TF.N about how he's disappointed that the O-OT is not being released. And one from Kevin Smith saying that the extremist stance some are taking is a bit ridiculous and saying that it's not as though Humphrey Bogart was replaced in Casablanca with Steve Guttenberg.
Load of crap.

See, I don't think Chasing Amy was meant to be an all-out comedy. It's meant to show how KS learned from a relationship in which he acted like Ben Affleck does. Amy is more about the story than the comedy. KS didn't "forget" anything. He was trying to make a minor departure from what he had done before.
And it is a funny movie as well. I don't personally think that anything in Mallrats compares to the Comiccon nubian fight between Banky and Hooper. That is just classic Kevin Smith.
Clerks is a damn good movie, but Mallrats was piss poor by the standards established by Clerks and then followed by Chasing Amy and, even, Dogma. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy Mallrats every once in a while, but it is the worst of the Jersey Quintilogy (is that a word?).
