Hey, I've never posted before. I suppose I'm popping the proverbial "cherry" just to talk about Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back on the off chance that this will reach Kevin, who I'm sure has more important things to do than check out this message board (though I could be wrong). Anyway, really quality flick. It struck me that although you were able to get off all your fans on the references to previous pictures, you were still able to maintain a really good comedic atmosphere. I doubt that it's going to be viewed as a "sell out" picture (not just because your face is already on thousands of t-shirts, proving that you sold out a LONG time ago (a joke) (more parenthesis inside of parenthesis)). It seemed like you got to say a LOT about hollywood (Ben Affleck in Phantoms and Forces of Nature), and also a lot about tolerance. Well, if you looked through all the gay jokes anyway. Oh, and in reference to that, I could see what GLAAD was saying, but I also saw you make a few jokes about how truly dumb gay jokes are, kind of making everything to get mad at a moot point. But yeah, I enjoyed the movie. Keep it up. (Oh, and if Kevin Smith is not actually reading this, then random fanboy, YOU keep up the good work).
