Hey guys, thanks for making a movie for the fans that tied the whole series together. My girlfriend and I laughed through the entire flick! It was great to see most of the characters of the previous four movies make appearances, and we finally got to see what we wanted. Just what the hell do Jay & Silent Bob do in a given day. I thought it was awesome that you guys got Carrie Fisher and Mark Hamil involved! That rocked!!! And Will Ferrel is a great addition to the Viewaskewniverse! One thing is for sure, Affleck must be one hell of a good sport for as much as he was ripped on- that was good too. Mewes was great, I especially enjoyed his little "daydreams" of him just sitting there and mumbling to himself with that blank stare on his face (and he got to makeout with S.E.)- ha! And Kevin's "silent delivery" was the best it's ever been, as you don't see many people (characters) that can get away with just sight gags. Oh yeah, nice pans and fades Kev, you guys really put this one together well, and it shows. The weird thing is going to be watching these movies in sequential order once JASBSB comes out on DVD, it'll be like watching Star Wars in the order that you're supposed to. The effects, film quality, camera direction, and acting will be somewhat out of place. But all in all it makes for a good story! And even though it's a really "nutty" at times, you manage to keep us laughing. Thanks!
One last thing, you HAVE to put out a special edition DVD with commentary on this one! We love the other four you've put out so far! Thanks again.
