Well Kevin, whether you actually see this or not, TAHNK YOU for laboring to make "Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back" I have to admit to you that I am a Johnny "didja come" Lately to the View Askewniverse. I stumbled upon "Dogma" on a premium cable channel and loved it! A week later the special edition DVD came out and I bought it. Then about a month later I again stumbled upon "Chasing Amy" on another cable premium channel, and thoroughly enjoyed it. It was then that the alleluia choir went of inside my head, made the connections, and suddenly "got it". I qickly went out and in one trip purchased "Clerks", "Clerks Uncensored", "Mallrats" and "Chasing Amy" on DVD. I invited 9 friends over and had a "Kevin Smith" screening party. They too, fell in love with your work. I am proud to say that tonight all 10 of us are headed to our 2nd screening of "J&SBSB" at the Regal Transit Theater. As we stand in line to be let in, we are having a ball coaxing those standing in a considerably smaller line waiting to see "Bubble Boy" to trade their tickets in for "J&SBSB". Honest to Morrisette Kevin, one guy was convinced by his date to come in with us because to her we seemed a more "fun" crowd, and that "J&SBSB" was what she had wanted to see anyway. Thanks, Kevin...to you and Mewes and the entire group..cast and crew, for this gift. My friends and I have needed to laugh and be together like this for a long time. Thanks for being the wonderful. albiet unwitting catalyst! Michael Lehmann in Buffalo, New York is forever a fan and in debt. Get wealthy and stay healthy!
