Clerks

Clerks came out in 1994. I saw it at a second-run $1.50 theater with some college friends and was pretty much "eh" about it. And then I saw it again -- same theater different group of friends -- and it started to grow on me. Again and again. Each time I loved it more and more.
Then a handful of years passed and Kevin Smith got more and more popular and in 2000 ABC aired an animated version!
For two episodes.
That version has since made its way to dvd, Comedy Central, Cartoon Network, YouTube ... and my lunch (much easier to copy the animated than the original)!

The Jackson 5 a la Clerks 2

The greatest three minutes of Clerks 2:


And the greatest bit of those 3 minutes a la lunch:

Go ahead. Try and deny the awesomeness of Jay and Silent Bob in pigtails. You just can't.

Fly Fatass Fly

I've been wracking my brain trying to think of fun and witty commentary about tonight's Mallrats lunch. One would think that I could come up with tons to say since it's the first of Smith's movies that I more or less memorized due to repeated viewings (totally because of Jason Lee ... and the whole sci fi comic book geek slant that Clerks only had miniscule amounts of).

Instead, I got nothing (well, except for mac & cheese & cheese ... and more cheese).

Kevin Smith's Dogma

If somebody were to ever say that I had to pick only 5 movies to watch for the rest of eternity, Dogma would probably take up 4 of the 5 slots. There are lots of lunch-worthy elements of the film but I'm going with a couple from the beginning of the film for tonight.

Buddy Christ and Catholicism WOW!

I thought it was only fitting to have "loaves and fishes" tied in so Buddy Christ is a tuna sandwich (using a great recipe from MOMables) on Udi's bread. The letters, hearts and Catholicism WOW! poster are monterey jack cheese. The poster is sitting on Goldfish crackers and in the top left is mixed fruit. The drink container has grape juice in it.
