...if she ever appears. As the 'Amy' story is about a guy and a gal, the guy being Bob (Kevin Smith) and if the girl was Joey, then it would be as if Bob was telling the story of his lost love...a la Kevin Smith with the film Chasing Amy. Weird thought I just had...
: : 1) Is it true that Kevin Smith plays Silent Bob?
: He plays a guy who doesn't talk, who looks like Bob... who at a party, looks at a character played by Mewes and does a double take, then brushes it off. Take that however ya like.
: It's a cameo, really.
: : 2) If not does the movie tie into the existing View Askewniverse?
: Yes and no and yes.
: If you take that character as being Silent Bob, I guess it does tangentally... but it's never been referenced in any of the other films, so I guess it depends how continuity anal you are.
: One fan theory is that... as "Silent Bob" is in the scene, kind of hitting it off with a character played by Joey Adams... wouldn't it be cute if that girl was the "Amy" from the "Chasing Amy" speech...
: 1.) It was a time Silent Bob hit it off with a girl and Jay wasn't around.
: 2.) It'd be kinda interesting to have Joey play both Alyssa and "Amy"...
: 3.) It takes place in Vancouver, giving a second meaning to "Where's she from, Canada? Why don't I remember her?"
: Malcolm and Kevin have assured us it's all concidental, it was just a party scene where Kevin was on set and put on the Bob costume for a day... but it's a fun theory... albeit a theory with a lotta holes in it.
: And, remember, this is only like... a minute... that Bob's in, if that.
: It's mostly a story about hunting Bigfoot and the nature of sanity and cool stuff like that with a lot of cool strange bits to it.
