: What's a spoiler?:
Stuff that gives away surprises.
:I'm sorry.I know many things but that, obviously not.:
Oookay.
: So my question(s): Tails Lights Fade is being partly funded, even by the least, by the Canadian government? Even though it portrays a race to hide illegal actions from the law? Films like this couldn't be sponsored by the U.S. gov., could they? Is it easy for American independent films to film in Canada?:
Alot of movies you may not think are Canadian. Also, Canada is, technically, America.
: 2) Also what is the chronology of the New Jersey trilogy/ Jay & Silent Bob movies and would it still be a trilogy if it's more a series? Kind of how James Bond movies are now a series. I'm more interested in the chronology aspect, though.:
Chronologically: Mallrats, Clerks, Chasiny Amy, Dogma, the END of Chasing Amy
: 3) How does the relationship between Jay and Silent Bob and Linda Fiorento's character work out?:
I thought it worked out well.
: And also, I was wondering if you could give me some personal relationship advice. I know you're not a syndicated columnist relationship guru but everyone else I could ask and have asked can't give me what I feel would be a complete answer. Maybe you can't either but if I take what I can from everyone I poll, basically, then maybe I can come up with a solution.:
The hell're you asking us for?
: I broke up with a long term boyfriend some time ago due to the stress of long distance and possibly not physically seeing each other for the next 2-3 years. That part's okay, it got settled and we're friends but then I jumped into a relationship with someone who had been infatuated with me since he laid eyes on me a year and a half before (his words roughly).:
Awww. How fucking sweet.
:At first attention and adoration was pretty much lavished on me but now the only time he even comes near me is if he feels ...etc.:
Say it. Horny.
:So I shouldn't be so dense and either face up that he's only given me the key to his place in exchange for sex and he's tired of me or does he really still feel passionate for me and he's just one of those people who are ...well, subdued the rest of the time.:
Are you REALLY that dense? The guy conned you into believing that he loves and you, and now that you're willing to put out, he doesn't do it anymore. He wants to fuck you. Nothing more, nothing less.
:And it's not like communication is a major quality in this relationship. A typical conversation: Me :(50 billion times I'll say this. I try not to sound whiny but I do admit to saying this)Come in bed and play!
: C---: (might glance over with a bemused smirk like I'm kidding him. And 2 hours later) Ooh! Powerpuff Girls are on!:
Like we don't know his name is "Chris." And he's a moron.
: So, does this scream "beating a dead horse"?:
Among other things.
: Basically, everyone I barely felt comfortable asking advice on this would be either the women in my immediate family and that's like my mom's still good, on- going marriage or my little sister's limited experience with guys. Everyone else I could explain this to I don't want to hurt their feeling because it's either my previous ex- boyfriends or guy friends who wanted to date me and still have feelings for me. So, roughly because you have no idea who I am and that you create cinematic masterpieces that deal with the human psyche(come on, you do), you are the only person I could think of who could give me an unbiased opinion on the dilemma. Atleast I'm not pestering you for a job.:
I would have helped you had you not said "guy friends who wanted to date me." You're telling me, roughly, that all your guy friends want to date you. Now I can assure you that I can find you a guy frine who won't want to date you, and I'm sure you can find one too. But rather you find one who DO want to date you so that you can make them feel insignificant when they see you waste your fucking time with this asshole guy who fucks you and watches bad cartoons. I despise your type.
: So if you do read this entire thing and understand what I'm saying and that people do have these problems, crawling to you for advice, then: Thank you so much. I know I write too much but I had alot on my mind and you do seem qualified in what my question is about. So, if you can, please don't go making fun of it and please write me back. Thanks, barbie_addict.:
Too fucking late for that.
: p.s. I did see Dogma and I loved it and even though I try not to be religious,:
What the fuck? Why do you TRY not to be religious? Is it some kinda desiese?-
:I do agree with what the message I felt you conveyed in the film was. Has the pope seen it? Is pope capitalized? It was educational and if you never wanted "educational" to describe any of your films... well. it was and it was the most enlightened religious viewpoint I have ever seen. So, thank you for making that movie. Bye.:
Holy moly.
