'Clerks' and 'Chasing Amy' Head to Blu-ray
Filed under: Comedy, Fandom, Home Entertainment
In the View Askew world, we've already got Zack and Miri Make a Porno, Clerks 2, Dogma, and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back on Blu-ray. Now, finally, Kevin Smith has revealed that his two big classics are getting their turn. Over on Twitter, Smith announced that both Clerks and Chasing Amy are getting the high-def treatment this November.Two films loved for their gritty visual feel, it's not surprising that it took this long for the pair to be released. But now that they are, the Blu-rays won't be without added perks. Each will have one hefty feature to lure fans to the Blu-Askew. Chasing Amy will contain a "look-back docu," while Clerks, which will be the same as Clerks X, will get Oh, What a Lovely Tea Party. That is, unless it's too big for a disc yet again!
Tea Party is Jennifer Schwalbach Smith's directorial debut, boasting three hours of behind-the-scenes shenanigans from the filming of Jay and SIlent Bob Strike Back. It's already been bumped twice due to its size -- once from Strike Back, and once from Clerks X -- but I imagine Blu-ray will have enough space for the doc.
Are these two extras enough to re-invest in the films, or will you be sticking to regular DVD?

At least Smith's giving fans a reason to upgrade. Because with these two flicks, I'm not sure the picture quality can be improved that much to warrant another purchase.

I will purchase day 1 the Chasing Amy with the new documentary, will have to wait to see if the documentary his wife made is on the Clerks Blu Ray then I will get it, otherwise not double dipping right away, I'll wait until there is a sale.
I would like to see the extended cut of Jersey Girl on Blu Ray. I actually liked Jersey Girl and I heard the extended cut is better than then the theatrical.
