I haven't analyzed everything like you have, but I always found clerks depressing, enjoyed the gay undertones of Dogma's golden boys (my viewpoint), am a mallrats fan, but I cannot stand joey adams and while I like the chasing amy idea, she grates on my damn last nerve. As for jsbsb, I was disappointed, but it's ok. Not everyone has to like absolutely everything.
Tbe bummer is that all the people I talked to that were psyched to go see the movie also reported that it was rather 'eh', and while funny in parts, there were several parts that were pointless. I really can't understand or relate to the folks going back again and again, or the guy seeing it 37 times. Yeesh.
Maybe when you aren't in love with Jay, you don't worship Kevin, and you aren't masturbating to Shannon Elizabeth, you have a different perspective. I'm glad I saw the movie, I might rent it eventually, but it's not going to be in my video collection. Sowwy.

: Can anyone here be a little honest, get off KS's dick for a second, and tell me if I'm alone on this or if you agree?
: Clerks- genius.
: Mallrats- a fun throwback to the old days of "teen tits" movies
: Chasing Amy- Kevin's best and last great work.
: Dogma- okay, but not fully realised.
: J&SBSB- fun, but not much of a movie.
: In MY opinion, Clerks gave us a hint of genius, Amy proved KS a master of the form, but the rest of the flicks were a little disappointing.
: I love Kevin's stuff, but I just wish he would let his talent shine through instead of trying to hook up his pals.
: I know this is gonna piss people off, but I'm a little glad he's shutting down the Askewniverse.
: Maybe a fresh start will re-charge his creative batteries so he can give us more of what we love about his work in the first place.
: Flame at will. -F.
