Better Movie #37
 

The Truman Show defeats Jurassic Park by 1 lousy stinking vote. And you said 1 vote never made a difference. What a fool you were. And it's Sam Neill's birthday today too.

I'm sorry if I seem upset. I'm not even supposed to be here today.







Polls are open for three days. Happy voting.

Tell your friends to vote. This is so much better when there's participation. Spread the word.

Only actually saw Clerks for the first time about 2 or 3 weeks ago. Really liked it but still prefer The Truman Show. Carrey gets my vote.

I've just realised aswell that I only ever state which movie I like more and don't really give a real reason. Oh well.

Meh that's more than most people do. People are lazy.

Clerks kind of, actually I've just voted for it and kind of wish I hadn't. This is a tie in my eyes.

I prefer Clerks. The Truman Show is good but I wouldn't watch it as often as I did Clerks. Which is to say about three times.

Truman Show since I though Clerks was so bad I couldn't make it past 1 full viewing.

Clerks.

Jim Carrey sucks

Clerks...


Truman Show was alright but only worthy of a rental if you haven't seen it

Love Clerks. Gonna vote for it here. Surprised at the early big lead for it though.

The Truman Show. Kevin Smith is horribly over-rated.


I await the oncoming heat.

Clerks because I love Clerks

Truman Show b/c Jim Carrey is the man

CLERKS!!!

Truman Show is a good film, but I don't think there's many films that are gonna top Kevin Smith.

Clerks. The blow job story alone is worth watching the movie.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

CLERKSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS hell yeah

Truman Show is still awesome, but it is nothing against fucking Clerks. I love every second of Clerks, I could probably watch it every single day. Plus I feel the need to 'rep' the Jersey Shore or w/e

I cannot stand Kevin Smith. He has a total of what, 5 characters?

People always say this. It's the most common criticism I hear of Kevin Smith, but I wonder how one can think this way if they've actually seen the movies. There are only two characters that are used in all of the movies. The rest of them are completely new.

Working with the same actors does not = the same characters. If you're going to peg him for that then you have to peg Martin Scorcese, Quentin Tarantino, The Coen Bros., and every other director that works frequently with a familiar pool of talent.

Even if that argument were true, Clerks is his first movie, so it's completely irrelevant.

Truman show is great, but Clerks is a persona favorite of mine. The setting reminds me so much of where I grew up in Yonkers, NY. Great cast of characters.

I enjoyed The Truman Show more

Jurassic Park lost to the Truman Show??????????? !

If you would've voted it would've been a tie. It's your fault, Buzzkill.
