: Damn good question, I don't have a concrete answer for you, but my speculation is that in order for her to have freed God, she would have had to martyr herself in some way. I suspect that her abdominal bleeding was symbolic of her inability to bear children, a fact that killed her emotionally, and now so physically.
: But don't ask me, I'm an athiest.
Hrmm... I read a draft of the Dogma script (Against Kevin's wishes--I'll give Azrael a big hello when I get down there.) in which one of the Stygian triplets (Which I visualized as being much younger--and actual triplets... Maybe with glowing eyes... Chuckie dolls on blades. ) survives the bar scene and sticks Beth in the gut. Silent Bob dispatches the little b*stard and carries the bleeding (or dead?) Bethany from the hospital.
And am I the only one who thought that Kevin's portrayal of Bob rivaled Jason Mewes' Jay in terms of sheer charisma...? Strong, silent types--Go figure. I mean--When Bob was crying Bethany's pseudo-death was rather really well-done... And the strip bar scene had me in stitches as Serendipity kept making each party overbid each other.
I chuckle thinking about it even now... Damn I gotta see that one again...
