Mallrats | Brodie Introduces TS to Jay & Silent Bob

While at the mall, Brodie (Jason Lee) tries to get TS’s (Jeremy London) mind off of Brandi (Claire Forlani), but a stage is being constructed in preparation for Brandi’s dad’s game show. However, they run into Jay (Jason Mewes) and Silent Bob (Kevin Smith) and convince them to sabotage the game show.
Film Synopsis:
From Kevin Smith, the acclaimed director of Clerks, comes this outrageous story of two loafers, Jeremy London and Jason Lee, who spend way too much time hanging out at the mall. When Brodie (Lee) is dumped by his girlfriend, Shannen Doherty, he retreats to the mall with his best friend TS (London), whose girlfriend has also left him. Between brooding and visits to the food court, the unmotivated twosome decide to win their girlfriends back with the help of the ultimate delinquents, Silent Bob (Kevin Smith) and Jay (Jason Mewes), whose continuing adventures take the word "nuisance" to a whole new level.

Haha! Me, too. This was filmed at Eden Prairie Center, in Eden Prairie, MN. Being a Minnesotan, I've been there many a time. That being said, I haven't been there in several years. If you really think about it, I guess it's our faults for not going to malls anymore.

Seth and his friend Breckin Meyer (Clueless, Road Trip, Franklin & Bash) both auditioned for Jay, but they both saw Clerks, and they knew they couldn't play such a larger-than-life character, and Mewes didn't even go to acting school. So they sabotage their own audition.

True story, it's not even a sailboat. Back in the day, when I had this on VHS, yes VHS, I managed to pause it and look. It's like a sphere and a cone and something else. Been a bit since I've tried, but definitely not a schooner.

[@StudioMod]

Jeremy London is a seriously underutilized actor.

[@reikun86]

So is Jason London

[@CurtisWesbrook]

Man, I gotta disagree. Mallrats is not only my favorite Smith movie, but one of my favorite movies, period. The only gripe I have with it is London's acting. He acts like a kid in a high school play, compared to everyone else around him. It doesn't help that almost all of his scenes are with Jason Lee, who absolutely steals this movie.

[@StudioMod]

@@CurtisWesbrook He's no Dante, but he's very good in my opinion. He has a very 90s feel and look that helps him play the young would-be intellectual in that era. I enjoyed his performance very much.

You definitely could where I lived. Maybe not in the late 90s but I distinctly remember there being ashtrays in the mall in the 90s. They probably banned it at the same time they banned smoking in restaurants.

Smoking was still allowed in most malls in the mid 90s. By the end of the 90s most malls had designated smoking areas and then in the 00s is when most malls banned indoor smioking.

You could in the 1980.

Ha, at 1:21 it's just a bunch of geometric shapes it's not sailboat at all. lol ***If you don't know how to do this. Freeze the frame of the image and cross your eyes so there are two images and slowly relax your eyes. Near the moment your eyes would go back to straight is normally when the shapes (Like a Star, a Diamond, a sphere, a box, etc..) will appear looking sunken into the background. These images were all the rage back in the 90's.***
