Dear Kevin, and whoever reads this,
I love all of your movies. I just saw J&SB-SB movie tonight for the first time (I had to ride a bike 8 miles to the theater- why I didn't see it sooner). It was well worth it. The humor never stopped. I have a few complaints. Personally, my favorite movie from you is Mallrats. Solely because of Jason Lee's outstanding performance as Brodie. Mind you, he also did a fantastic job in VA5. The dialoge in Mallrats is amazing, but not an overload, like in parts of Clerks. What I didn't like about VA5:

1.In composition class, we learn to focus our ideas and develop them, what I felt in the movie is that you tried to be as funny as possible, and didn't develop all of the comedy pieces completely.
2.It wasn't really a view-askewniverse completing movie. I thought this was going to be all bout old-skool VA stuff, lots of Walt-Flanagan, Hockey, William, Julie Dwyer's death, fingercuffs, the mall, etc... all the ties that link the movies together. There were tons, but in differant and unusual ways, like the Star Wars references. I just felt that there were too many new ideas across, like the whole slew of girls, planet of the apes- which was a perfect impression.
3.You had Judd Nelson, you should have made him similar to John Bender in TBC. That's what he's known for being funny as.

Questions for fans/Kevin:
1.Will characters like Brodie, Dante, Randal, & T.S. (possibly played by Jason London instead) ever appear in live-action films again. I know the end of Jay and Silent Bob, but how about these characters?
2.What about "Mallrats 2: Die Hard In the Mall", will that ever happen?
3.What are any new projects that are being thought/discussed about? Other than Fletch 3 and the animated Clerks movie (which I also, kinda disagree with- the live action stuff was much funnier than the animated stuff).

Ok, I've bitched enough. I'm just very into the jersey stuff, and don't want to see the end. I'm sorry if I offended anyone about anything, don't ignor this post please, respond so I can understand better things. Thanks a lot for everyone's time.
