: I don't know, I'm torn. On one hand, Jay , Silent Bob, and rest of our View Askew friends are gone, no more will they appear in Mr. Smith's films. On the other hand, Mr. Smith can now grow, try new things, show the rest of the world that, as we all know, he is a fantastic writer and director. But can we live without all our favorite friends?
Well, they'll still be there on the old movies, probably in a new animated film and possibly in a revived animated series (have we gotten any news on that recently?).
And it will be good to see what Kevin does in a world that doesn't revolve around the same insular references and Jay & Silent Bob.
Look at CHASING AMY, which aside from one scene with Jay & Bob and a couple of minor references is basically a stand-alone story. In fact, after CLERKS it's the one that would make the most sense watching it without benefit of the films that proceeded it, and that's a good thing. It's a good thing for drawing in new fans and being able to stretch beyond the artistic bounds he's been in.
: Now on to bigger and better things...I hate to see em go, but the rest of the world has to be shown the talent Mr. Smith possess.
I agree with this. I've enjoyed the five flicks and I've enjoyed the antics of Jay & Silent Bob. It's been a nice run.
It's also nice that we got a chance to see a movie that focuses on them for a finale. I think that was a nice treat for the fans, as well as a very funny movie.
: So I thank you, for all the great flicks, GREAT dvd's, and laughs.
I do, too!
Right on!
