: Am I silly? Have I put way too much thought into Mr. Smith's attempt to go to Hollywood? Or do I have an idea worthy of a college thesis?
: Mallrats was the first movie. It is the beginning of your life. Topical relationships and meaningless mall jobs, sounds like all of us while we were kids.
: Clerks was the second. It dealt with attempting to find your place in the world.
Clerks was first. Mallrats was second.
: Chasing Amy was third. It deals with serious relationships. (And I believe Mr. Smith is Banky in the movie.)
Actually, Kevin says he is much like Holden.
: Dogma is the final movie. Maybe. Its at least the last one we have seen. It is any man's attempt to change the world.
: Did Smith grow up while making the movies? Does he posess a "old soul" that makes him old before his time? Does he actually have more than a mustard seed of faith? Is Banky really gay? Why didn't Smith pick the yellow costume for Daredevil? Is he really not Jesus? Is he just a tracer?
: These are questions that cannot be answered. Only because Kevin doesn't have all the time in the world. Why would we expect him to? He has a family to raise. Michael Jackson said it best, "Just leave me alone!" But Kevin is a sweet kid, and he loves his fans. But not as much as he loves his art, his message, or his family.
