Popcorn Double Feature-Gentlemen Broncos (2009) & Clerks (1994)

Gentlemen Broncos…

Our first selection has always had it’s detractors,

• Larsen on Film

• The Non Review

  but no shortage of defenders, either…

• Mimi White in Vulture News

• A spirited defence from "The Student"

• This from the Guardian

• In the meantime, Mike White (Dusty), talks snake-charming to searchlight

…in short, this is what the whole thing reminds Gav of…Visions are worth fighting for.

That and a good soundtrack

Clerks

• Clerks was a lot more successful on a much smaller budget, the exact numbers are HERE

• …and HERE is Kevin Smith talking about the shoot to the Guardian

• …actually, this one HERE, for PBS is a bit better…

• …but people are still arguing about what it REALLY means, like HERE.

• The budget also impelled the director to be creative…HERE

• …and it also had a killer soundtrack

  This is the film that made Smith think that he could be a filmmaker, and it’s on YouTube right now for nothing! How cool is that?
