Clerks 2 Progress from Kevin Smith

Yesterday, we did a reading of the script, with Brian, Jeff, Jay, Jen, me and the new guy, Trevor (our surprise, secret weapon). Fucking fantastic. The flick reads great. When Brian and Jeff got going in their back-and-forth, I got all sorts of non-sexual hard. Fuck, this is a funny flick, and those guys are in top shape.

Afterwards, me, Mos, Phil Benson, Jeff, Brian and Trevor did oral notes on the script, voting for cuts in the stuff that just lays there, suggesting tightening in some scenes, rearrangement in others. We were a story-telling collective, all working toward making something that already feels hillarious and special even moreso. I'm guessing the current 119 Second Draft of the script will go down by another five to ten pages in Draft Three.

I can't describe how fulfilling it is to hear the script performed and to watch Brian and Jeff bounce off one another. And Mewes? Top form. Tip-top form.

Wish I could bust with some of the best lines here, but don't wanna be a spoiler. I want you guys to go into this flick virgins, and leave debauched.
