: But I guess many geniuses have that same problem. Anyways I just saw
: JASBSB and I have to ask, why? When I first saw Clerks years ago I was
: rather surprised to see that it was the funniest movie ever made. Whats
more, it didnt rely on one liners or site gags for the biggest jokes. My
god, it was actually an intelligent dialogue driven comedy. Then I go see
Mallrats and I begin thinking, how could the same guy who made Clerks,
produce this piece of crap? I figured you had put all of your creative
energy into Clerks and now it was all used up. But then you made two other
: comic gems (not as good as Clerks, but pretty damn good all the same)
Chasing Amy and Dogma. Both of those movie respectively retained the same
intellectual banter that made Clerks great. Then last night I see JASBSB,
: arguably a step above Mallrats, but it's a Mallrats like movie
nonetheless.
: Filled with one-liners and site gags (there is nothing inherently unfunny
with those long as they are done intelligently or tactfully). Most of
: the jokes revolved around Jay flinging scurrilous insults and bashing
: on homosexuals (it is true that both of these can be extremely funny, but
: it is hardly a funny basis for an entire movie). I saw little creativity
: in this movie (btw what is with that Wildlife Marshall, Im serious, he is
: the live action equivalent of Jar-Jar from the Phantom Menace), the few
: parts where this movie actually shown were when you used the dialogue
driven comedy (esp. the Good Will Hunting scene). So anyways, I seriously
doubt that you have run out of creativity, so I come to the conclusion that
you actually want to make movies like Mallrats and JASBSB. My question is
how come the same man who made Clerks want to make JASBSB?

: ps. Is it true that you are making the next Ace Ventura Movie?

Don't you think it's a little odd that you're going on the internet to
bitch about a movie after seeing a movie that so blatantly attacked your
whole scummy kind. (By the way Kevin, I think that was a bit of a personal
vendetta). Fuck OedipusTex, fuck him up
