In Reply to: Jay and Silent Bob Movie?! Who'd pay to see that? posted by filmmaker on August 19, 2001 at 03:06:22:
: Jay and Silent Bob Strikes Back has to be the stupidest movie I've seen in my life! Fuck Jay and Silent Bob, fuck them up their stupid asses. What a couple of ball lickers.
: LOL, just joking of course, and I'm sure I'm not the first person who has used this little homage to the movie to start off a post...so I will not consider myself a creative or original person.
: I'd just like to say that this movie was fucking hillarious. In my life I've only been to 2 movies in which the audience was into the movie like they were for this. The Phantom Menace, and this. I live in a small town in Indiana and had to have my mother drive me 2 hours to the theater. Being only 15 years old, I would also need my mother to see the movie with me. Two friends came with me as well. My mom being quite against profanity and having never seen VA movies even liked this movie. I was scared shitless though. I could imagine comming home and her taking away all my View Askew DVD's and those are a major part of my life. I always have a VA film running on my computer when I'm online.
: So anyway at this theater in the middle of Indiana the Audience cheered and clapped the whole way through. Though I must say I was the only one who got the "This was the worst idea since Greedo shooting first" bit. Whe Mark Hammil came on not only did everyone applaud but I, along with many others stood up.
: Even though I usually hate Will Ferell and find him a talentless and unfunny sad man, I liked him in this. He just seemed to fit pretty well. And to all people who say his character was too dumb by letting Jay and Silent Bob get away at first, I say, "Do you not all remember a scene in Mallrats where Jay and Silent Bob ducked the security far to easily...twice actually....its becuase its a movie and not real. But it makes for funny.
: I loved this entire movie...from beginning to end. The Shaka part kinda startled the audience more than anything, because of all the white bashing. I read in an article in the paper once though that White Audiences in rural areas aren't very comfortable with such things...and you can't get much more rural than Indiana, but I sure as hell thought it was funny.
: The only thing I didn't think really fit in was the whole laser beam thing to get the diamonds, but then when the chick farted, it was funnier. When all that shit was going on though, a person a row or two back from me stood up and yelled, "Ah, cut this shit, where are Jay and Silent Bob?" But I for one didn't mind it as I sat back on the verge of creaming my pants.
: Which brings to mind another thing. I think Jay's boner didn't really fit in to well... Kevin Smith hasn't really ever had any gross out comedy in his movies, and I think thats kind what the boner was...but when Silent Bob covered it up with a cup...oh man it was hysterical.
: Kevin, its too bad the View Askewniverse is coming to an end...but who knows, maybee 20 years down the line you'll feel the urge to make another
