JAY AND SILENT BOB'S SUPER GROOVY MOVIE 2014

Zavvi Exclusive, 500 copies

Release Date: July 7, 2014

PRE-ORDER

gregmss · 07-02-2014, 04:45 PM

I should add that I saw the movie last night and it is dreadful, having 500 copies out in the world is just merciful.

Buzz201 · 07-02-2014, 04:46 PM

Why so limited? And why have they dropped "Cartoon" from the title?

neoz · 07-02-2014, 04:48 PM

I added the movie to the database as well.
So it should be up in a little bit pending approval.

I was going to order this, saw the reviews and then immediately changed my mind. I nearly got suckered in by the very limited quantity available

CouncilSpectre · 07-02-2014, 08:53 PM

I love Jay and Silent Bob, but no....

Madman2112 · 07-02-2014, 09:41 PM

Wait... So this is going to be the only release of this title worldwide?

Smith said they were close to signing a deal for US rights, but that was about 18 months ago, so I would assume that fell through.

Signature's website says there'll be a digital version available though, so if you don't get a BD you should be able to buy it off iTunes UK or something...

(Edit: It's already on VOD in the US, DVD release (possibly blu-ray as well) expected in September.)

Such a strange release this one

I'm wondering if it's contractually limited, because the UK is getting it on home media first, and it being released simultaneously with VOD, only a few days after the film's theatrical tour.

Or if Signature decided to do a blu-ray release then changed their minds? 500 seems like a weirdly low number, given the high production costs involved, and they aren't selling it that expensively...

Also, Signature have promoted the DVD release on Facebook, but not the blu-ray, hmm...

Anyway, I started a Kevin Smith collection earlier in the year, got a little sidetracked, but the completest in me made me order just in case it didn't get another blu-ray release.

With animation that bad it wouldn't make a difference.

As much as I love the two characters, I wont be adding this trash to my collection. Avoid people!

McCrutchy · 07-03-2014, 06:23 AM

Ordered, just in case a US release doesn't happen. Also a litmus test for ordering from Zavvi...

FelixFlankin · 07-03-2014, 09:01 AM

Ordered it. I'm a fan, so I figured...why not? It's cheap enough and there isn't enough info out there to confirm a US release.

yeslek · 07-03-2014, 11:09 AM

going to see the this tonight in Manchester but have pre-order just incase it sells out.
Hoping its not shipped today just incase I decide to change my mind later ....

Ste7en · 07-03-2014, 12:10 PM

Wow, still available to order. I thought this would be sold out by now.

I was a huge View Askew fan back in the day and was an active part of the fandom from the early days of the View Askew Messageboard. I regularly travelled from the UK for various events (Kevin himself once told me that it wasn't a Vulgarthon if I wasn't there) and I even appeared briefly in Zack & Miri... but the whole Smodcast career path did little for me, and the messageboard was eventually shut down (rightfully so, given how the place degenerated once Kevin left for the green green grass of Twitter)... and whilst I still love those films I'm now torn as I'd no longer say I was a fan of who Kevin is now (Stoner Kevin).

The trailer for the Super Groovy Cartoon Movie looked awful and I no longer had any desire to go to events like Q&As/Screenings (so even when this hit the UK I skipped it) - it looks like a abysmally animated adaptation of the J&SBSB tie-in comic that Kevin did for Image Comics back in the day... and I didn't like that much either (it definitely paled in comparison to the Jim Mahfood Clerks comics or the Duncan Fegredo Jay & Silent Bob series).

Yet I still found myself ordering this... fool and his money and all that! I guess the completist in me wanted it even if I only end up watching it once.

Maybe somewhere in alternate universe Kevin re-teamed with Oscar-nominated Chris Bailey (who did the excellent Clerks animated show) to do the animated movie about Randal making a film at the Quick Stop which we were promised way back when.

punkguy03 · 07-03-2014, 01:50 PM

Just finished this. Not the best, but it wasn't horrible! After the credits it did say Jay and Silent bob will appear in Clerks 3! So we will see!

The bigm76 · 07-03-2014, 04:21 PM
