There’s this brilliant new thing on the Net called YouTube. Okay, it’s not new. It’s been there for ages, technologically speaking. And although I do realize its existence all this while, I never got around to appreciate its true depth in video sharing that it provides to Net users all over the globe. That is, until one hot and dull Saturday afternoon.
Still frustrated at my lack of success of finding a DVD copy of Clerks, an idea pops into my head one day and it said ‘why don’t I just search it on YouTube?’. I mean, people have been saying you can get a whole load of shit there, I guessed, why not give it a try? So I entered a query, ‘Clerks’, and what do you know? It actually produced results. And the right ones too. Now, I got a clip showing a collection of funny scenes from the movie on my Friendster profile under Favorite Movies. You can check it out and see why I am so obsessed about getting a copy of the movie for myself. And Chasing Amy? The movie title that I tried with that girl from the Ezy video store? That too is on YouTube. And better still, there’s a full movie on it. Just not in its entirety, so to speak. Some guy or girl chopped the movie into 13 parts of 10 minute scenes and put in online. Although I’ll admit that it is kind of a dodgy way of watching a movie but being a Kevin Smith fan (the same dude who made Clerks) just to be able to watch is already a reward on its own and so it is definitely worth it. As an enticement, I’ll put a clip showing a scene from the first part of the movie down here. After watching that, you tell me that you aren’t the least curious about finding out what the rest of the movie is all about. As a matter of fact, I’ll just tell you. It’s about a straight guy (Ben Affleck) who falls for a lesbian. I bet you’ve never seen a love story like this before (or at least with a better dialogue and storyline). Click, click, anyone?
