This is held captive by Harvey Weinstein I think. Also Dogma. Well, his company I believe is what Kevin Smith said. Sad! I love this movie and want to stream it from time to time.
I worked in an office with a guy named Dave that regularly called a guy named Steve. “Hey Steve,Dave” is how he started every call and I laughed every time for 10 years. Some things just stick..
For real I modeled pretty much my whole life after this movie and Wayne’s World. In retrospect maybe that wasn’t the best idea but it seemed so right at the time
Listen, not a year goes by, not a year, that I don’t hear about some escalator accident involving some bastard kid which could have easily been avoided had some parent - I don’t care which one - but some parent conditioned him to fear and respect that escalator.
I have a student who loves to talk about movies, TV, & video games with me (he's autistic so he info dumps a lot). He really likes Michael Rooker as Merle & Yondu & some video games he's been in. I've told him about Mallrats a few times but he still hasn't seen it.
But one day he asked me what I'd do if I met Michael Rooker and without hesitation I said "I'd offer him a chocolate covered pretzel"
Oh man, grew up like 30 miles away from the mall it was filmed at! It was probably 1998 when my friend group discovered the movie, and promptly became obsessed. Our town didn’t have shit to do, so most of our time ended up being spent at the closest malls. Ridgedale, Eden Prairie Center or The Mall of America. First time going to the Eden prairie mall after seeing the movie was like a religious pilgrimage lol
He’s an alien for Christs sake! His Kryptonian biological clock is enhanced by Ursiellos sun. If Lois gets a tan the kick could kick right through her stomach. The only way he could bang regular chicks is with a Kryptonite condom, but that would kill him.
Watched it all the way through for the first time a few months ago, as it was always bits and pieces beforehand. Got all nostalgic when I saw the old Route 1 Flea Market scenes, though there was never a top less psychic 😪. Now that old Eatontown Mall is about 2 steps away from getting bulldozed too. I'll have to stay away from that movie in the future given all the places I recognized that are no longer with us any more😅

One of my favorite movies ever. SO MANY perfect one liners, infinitely quotable but my favorites are about the escalator.
"He should learn to fear and respect that escalator!" "I hope his pant leg gets caught and a bloodbath ensues!"
