Clerks III [Blu-ray]

Product Information

All right, we’ll leave you this afternoon with a look at the cover artwork for a few upcoming 2-film 4K Ultra HD collections, for those who might be interested in getting a bargain...

actual human emotion that Smith exploits at several key junctures in the film actually rings true and gives the film a rather heartwarming spirit,We sincerely appreciate fans’ passion for War of the Worlds and their attention to detail. The scene that has been referenced as being more blue than red was taken from the original three-strip Technicolor negative. Paramount chose not to employ additional color correction, but instead consulted original IB Technicolor prints and matched the look from there.” Based on the upgrades to video capture and coloring, Clerks 3 is the sharpest and most colorful of the series by far. It’s a far cry from the grainy B&W of the original tho there are sequences that attempt to replicate that too. There is an extended sequence within the film talking about the look of the film and why B&W rules.

obviously improvised stuff, like Justin Long's emergency room attendant, seem kind of forced and frankly not very funny. A longish montage of "big Smith does a great job of taking some real life events from his personal life and integrating them into these two characters (after all, they were both based on different aspects of Smith’s own personality) and finds a commendable balance between the emotion and the carefree fun of its predecessors. Some fans may take issue with the overwhelming emotional aspect present at times, but most should applaud it for the most part, and only a couple of brief moments within feel somewhat unnatural in how they are approached, while the rest are anything but. It’s a largely enjoyable and fitting new chapter in the series that dares to do something different and fans of the series definitely won’t want to overlook it. physical media a "must have" in this increasingly streaming day and age is someone to be celebrated. The good news is, for Clerks fans at

Side guide

Stop, a production that will of course include many of the other characters who have been seen in the two previous Clerks outings.

As with many of Smith's offerings, and in fact now all three of the Clerks films, the humor can be hit and/or miss, and some of the Audio Commentary with Kevin Smith, Jeff Anderson, Austin Zajur, Brian O’Halloran, and Trevor Fehrman We’ve gotten our hands on Paramount’s new 4K Ultra HD release of War of the Worlds (1953) and unfortunately there’s a problem with the color grade. As it happens, it’s exactly the same problem apparent in their current 4K Digital version, and it also appeared on the Imprint Blu-ray release in early 2020 (see our review here): The opening shots of Mars are the wrong color. Specifically, the whole planet is blue. Here’s a projection screen photo of the 4K...they're getting places. So while you may not be a collector who collects Kevin Smith films, chances are you can agree that someone who finds Lifelong fans of the film will know, of course, that this is how the planet should look in the film. And indeed, Paramount’s 2005 DVD got the color right (albeit in 8-bit color, here’s another screen pic of the DVD)...

And in fact an awareness of mortality if not the actual Spirit of Death suffuses this piece and gives it a rather bracingly melancholic aspect. Suffice But Mars, as many of you fellow science nerds will know, is famously know as “The Red Planet.” In truth, it’s actually more of a rusty orange color, due to the presence of actual iron oxide and rust particles in the planet’s dusty soil. This was certainly well known in the early 1950s when director Byron Haskin made the film, and in fact Chesley Bonestell—the world-renowned astronomical artist commissioned by the filmmaker to paint the planet and its landscape for the opening of the film—not only knew this, having worked with NASA and painted the planet many times by that point, in fact he did paint it correctly for the film. There’s a great documentary on the artist, Chesley Bonestell: A Brush the Future, and you can see the same shot from the film in the doc below, with Mars rendered in the correct orange color... Unfortunately, Paramount’s remastering team somehow missed it. However, I have informed the studio of the error and they’re now investigating.Dialogue heavy with a few pushes of stereo music into the sides and rears makes Atmos a bit of overkill here, but it’s still appreciated. Dialogue is crisp, clean and fun, and the song choices are always on point. Miss Sally Walk and Just Breathe really hit gut punches.
