Kevin Smith begins filming Clerks at the convenience store where he worked, in New Jersey.
The principal photography of Clerks is completed after coming in under budget and on schedule.
Clerks premieres at the Sundance Film Festival and receives critical acclaim, launching Kevin Smith's career.
Clerks is released in theaters, gaining popularity for its low-budget independent filmmaking style.
Watched this in theaters. Was a fun popcorn movie. I didn't like it as much as the first movie though. The nostalgia moments are a lot of fun for me, but the first movie had a ton of those too.
I need to rewatch this and see if it moves from a like to a favorite for me. I forget about it, see it mentioned, and remember that it was way better than I thought it was going to be. This is a great one to watch if you haven't yet.
Finally got to see this in theaters - it's a lovely movie. One of the higher quality family-friendly sci fi movies in a LONG time. The part I liked least about the book was the humor - movie was the same. Which speaks to how good the adaptation was.
