New Jay & Silent Bob movie

Well, he wasn't even supposed to be there.
Mallrats, Clerks, and Dogma are the great ones. The others were good, but not great.
Chasing Amy had moments but was way too serious. The discussion of Darth Vader and the black rage scene is the best part of that movie.
Because Kevin ******* Smith gave many of them their big break. Also, Kevin ******* Smith.
I love anything Kevin Smith. I pretty much know Clerks and Mallrats word for word.

Jay turns to follow her

Even Jeremy London's acting doesn't stop Mallrats from being a perfect comedy.
Clerks, Mallrats, Dogma, and Chasing Amy are all great.
The rest of it's pretty meh. Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back doesn't hold up at all, and Clerks 2 seemed really funny on first watch, but also didn't hold up.
I'm guessing this won't be that good.

"Try not to suck any ________ on your way to the ________"
Pretty much standard vernacular for my friends and I mid 90s to mid 00s.
What I read on wiki about it. Good for him being able to be sober almost a decade. He treated Smith like garbage, but you have to credit Smith for showing grade and understanding for the addiction disease Mewes was battling.
"Substance abuse
Mewes has openly talked about his struggles with substance abuse, which began in his early 20s. He first began using heroin shortly after appearing in Mallrats and was soon addicted; he was under the influence while filming Chasing Amy and Dogma. Kevin Smithentered Mewes into the first of a series of drug rehabilitation clinics in 1997 after noticing Mewes would randomly fall asleep, which he initially attributed to narcolepsy. Mewes sobered up until about a week into the Dogma shoot, when he learned he could pass his urine tests by abstaining from drugs for three days beforehand and then shooting up the rest of the week. In another attempt to get clean, Mewes moved in with his mother, who gave him OxyContin to ease the withdrawal symptoms.[3]
In 1999 Mewes was arrested in New Jersey for heroin possession. His probation sentence included community service, drug counseling, and regular court appearances in New Jersey. In late 2001, after he failed to make a court appearance, a warrant was issued for his arrest. Smith had taken Mewes in to live with him and his wife, Jennifer Schwalbach Smith, but evicted him after catching him using drugs again. During this period, Mewes stole Smith's ATM card, spent $1,100 of Smith's money, and had heroin shipped to the hotel where a press junket for Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back was being held. Smith had Mewes check into various rehab facilities, including Promises in Malibu, where his visit coincided with frequent costar Ben Affleck's stay for alcoholism. These attempts were unsuccessful for Mewes, whose problem was so severe that Smith was unable to give him a part in 2004's Jersey Girl.[3]
Mewes continued to use drugs, and has related that he decided to turn himself in and get help after waking up on Christmas morning in 2002 to find that he had started a fire after falling asleep near a lit candle while on heroin. Estranged from Smith, Mewes returned to New Jersey, and on April 1, 2003, he surrendered himself at a Freehold, New Jersey, court and pleaded guilty to probation violation charges. He was ordered to enter a six-month rehab program.[10] In a July 2006 interview he reported that he was sober, and harbored no urges to drink or use drugs.[3] He relapsed in 2009 after having surgery.[11]
To help Mewes maintain his sobriety, Smith created the Jay & Silent Bob Get Old podcast as a "weekly intervention" to let Mewes talk through his history of substance abuse. He has been sober since June 28, 2010.[12]"
Went to the double feature (both strike back then the reboot) that was in theaters tonight. I think if you are a loyal fan of the Kevin Smith franchise of movies you will enjoy it. Gets both funny and sentimental.
I think there's also plenty of actors that take a job when it comes along even if they're successful.
I absolutely love Dogma and I must be in the minority for enjoying Strike Back as well. The monkey in the diner scene with Will Ferrell is one of my favorites.
