Mallrats was great but how would you even do a Mallrats 2? Malls and mall culture are long dead, unless we're going to watch all the old people from the original do their daily mall-walking?

[automaticpeople]

Just make it a sequel that takes place right after the first and play the unexplained ageing completely straight.

This I could get completely on board with lol. You know Kevin Smith is dying to bring out those jnco jorts!

That's literally an existing ASMR genre.

[a_files06]

That's actually part of the plot lol

I'm glad to hear this! I was about to say that commentary on dying mall culture would be right up Kevin's alley! Especially with how Clerks III was about endings of an era/"ending of the view askew-niverse".

some malls are still poppin! mostly outdoor ones, but a mall like south coast plaza is still very much alive.

I'm glad there's some holdouts out there all the ones here are super dead. And most have banned unsupervised teens.

yeah that's I was like ??? whenever I read stuff about malls being dead bc every time I'm at South Coast, or Brea Mall, the Block or Spectrum it's like "okay but this place is filled w/ppl I can't find parking??" but it's likely a phenomenon hitting smaller cities & flyover states since southern California is densely populated and touristy af

i do miss westminister mall though. i haven't been in a while, but i've heard that everything is pretty much gone and they're going to make it like bella terra. I LOATHE that parking lot. Even Fashion Island, I'm not thrilled with the changes. They got rid of cheescake factory and CPK because of some new high end restaurant going in. I did hear that some of the malls were going away in San Diego like Mission Valley and Grossmont. haven't been to SD in a while but I'm surprised! Those places were always packed.

I just like going to the mall still..the experience of walking around, grabbing a pretzel, people watching, catch a movie, do some shopping i can't afford...do today's teens not do this?

[xdeedots]

westminster mall 😭

[muffintiem]

I'm originally from South Bay and like, everywhere I shop in the area is still packed on weekends. Plaza Bonita, Las Americas, etc. Fashion Valley still had plenty of people in it the last few times I was there.

EDIT: I will say though that Chula Vista Center has always felt a little sad to me.
