kevin, i know you've heard this a million times, but i'm your biggest fan. clerks, mallrats, dogma, and chasing amy are my 4 favorite movies to date. but i'm afraid the new one won't be added to the list. i missed the brilliant dialouge, and i thought it was too commercialized. too many cameos too. it was still a good movie, but i just don't think it was as good as your previous ones. the one thing that bothered me more than anything was your acting. it made me miss clerks. seriously. bob, in my mind, is not only mute for the most part, but he is supposed to be mostly expressionless as well. it's not really my place to say how you should develop your characters, but i thought that bob's role was overacted in the latest flick. anyway, i'm sure i've brought you down enough for the day. but think of it this way. i'm only one person. there are millions of people who loved your movie, and i have personally talked to several people who saw jay and silent bob strike back who had not seen any of your previous movie, and they loved it. so at least you're getting a wider fan base. well, good luck with the next movie, i'll be there
