“Don’t miss Kevin Smith’s Mallrats at midnight on August 4th and 5th. What better place is there to watch a couple of slackers drift through life than the Alamo Drafthouse? Plus, we can all agree that Ben Affleck plays his most believable role in Mallrats as a self involved mean spirited jackass. What more can you ask for? For more information check www.drafthouse.com. See you at the movies.”

“With the release of Clerks 2 and Kevin Smith’s birthday coming up on August 2nd, what better time is there to dust off one of Smith’s classic movies. That’s right, I’m talking about Mallrats.

Brodie Bruce, a Sega and comic book obsessed college student, and his best friend, TS Quint, are both dumped by their girlfriends on the same day, and to deal with their loss, they both go to the local mall. Along the way, they meet up with some friends, including Willam, a guy who stares at Magic Eye pictures, desperately trying to see the hidden image; Gwen, one of TS’s ex-girlfriends; and Jay & Silent Bob, of Clerks fame. Eventually, they decide to try and win back their significant others, and take care of their respective nemesises (TS’s girlfriend’s father, and a store clerk who hates the two for not having any shopping agenda).”
