In-Theater Commentary?

There was a planned in-theater commentary track that moviegoers could listen to on their MP3 players and it received lots of hype, but was pulled. There doesn't appear to be any information in the article about it. I could add it, but I don't know much about it myself. (For instance, why was it pulled after all that hype?) Does it belong in the article and how should it be listed - as a trivia section item, or a seperate section? I may get around to further researching the matter and adding it myself, but I know someone else could do a better job.

The track was pulled after the hype. I interviewed Kevin two weeks before the relsease of the film, during which he was still excited about it. It had already been hyped quite a bit too, but was then pulled [2] just before the release of the film.

Ten years or eleven?

So is this film set ten years after the first film (in the lede) or eleven (first sentence of plot) or twelve (third sentence of plot) or thirteen?--Shantavira|^{feed me} 08:41, 14 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

---In the internet exclusive trailer, the song is a heavy metal version of the cartoon theme.  In the theatrical trailer, the song is Jerk It Out by The Caesars.

-Yeah, this probably won't go over too well on a Smith page (I understand), but please, let's keep the curse out of the Siegel quote. This is supposed to be a "professional"-type encyclopedia we're helping make. A tasteful (explitave) should work well, and if anyone asks, pretend I'm quoting J&SBSB on this one, k?

-:Sorry, [[Wikipedia:Profanity|Profanity on Wikipedia is not to be censored]]. --[[User:Liface|Liface]] 15:26, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
-It's a QUOTE, sir. It can not be changed under any circumstances. If you want to talk about unprofessional behavior, go see Siegel. - Max

-I'm trimming this, it's getting ludicrous. --[[User:Liface|Liface]] 18:02, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

-: I think it might be significant to note, from a cinema history standpoint, that the black and white sequences that begin and end the film could be seen as an homage to ''The Wizard of Oz'', in addition to being a reference to the original ''Clerks'' being in black and white.  Just one man's opinion.  Also, I think your warning is missing a line or symbol or something; it's only visible on the Edit page, and for some reason shunts the first two points under Trivia to the end of the References section. -- [[User:Pennyforth|Pennyforth]] 20:23, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
-:: Well here's the problem with most trivia sections: Editor X comes in and says "blah blah blah is a reference to this" without citing a source. Then other editors come in and add all their references, and we end up with a huge list of stuff that doesn't really pertain to the article. If you look at the [[:Category:FA-Class film articles|Featured film articles]], almost none of them have trivia sections. So we're going to need to cut down on our trivia and cite sources for everything. --[[User:Liface|Liface]] 23:14, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
