Ok. I was a good little boy and I read the FAQ section. But I do not have time to troll old boards to see if the answer to my question resides there. I have what's known as a "life". It's small and pathetic but it's mine and it's almost paid for. Therefore I would appreciate it if any of my questions have been asked and answered on an older board that someone just point me in the right direction rather than attempting to be witty and flameful. Thanks in advance.
Now on to the questions.
1: In the opening scene what is God humming? My girlfriend and I are pretty sure it's either "Ode To Joy" by Beethoven, or Handel's "Messiah".
2: Is Chris Rock's character name of "Rufus" an homage to George Carlin's similarly named character in "Bill And Ted's Excellent Adventure", and "Bill And Ted's Bogus Journey"?
3: When Jay introduces himself and Silent Bob to Bethany what exactly does he say. I can make out... "I'm Jay, and this here's my [unintelligible] life mate Silent Bob."
4: When Serendipity is railing against the "inaccuracies" in the Bible what does she say after "A woman asks for the head of John The Baptist". I can make out... "Read that book again some time. Women are painted as big a [unintelligible] as the Eqyptians and Romans combined."
5: Ok. We know it's by God's decree that Angels can no longer imbibe alchohol. But can they consume food and other substances? Or to be more specific are they able? My girlfriend holds the view that Bartleby is spitting chewed popcorn into the other container because as they have no anus and can't defecate he can't really eat. I'm not entirely sure, because until she suggested this view I just figured it was his polite way of dealing with nasty unpopped kernels.
6: This relates to five. Loki obviously is faking taking a hit off the joint Jay passes to him. Is this a Matt Damon thing, or a character thing?
7: After arriving at McMooby's (or whatever the "real" name of the place is) Rufus is seen wearing a coat and what looks to be a McMooby's uniform. How did he acquire them? Is this something that was in the film but cut?
8: Have too many people yet pointed out the fact that in the pre-slaughter scene at the church, after Bartleby rips his clothing open to reveal the chest plate, when he turns back to yell, "DO IT!" at Loki the clothing is unripped?
9: Was the whole thing with the "Awesome power of God's true voice" something that was inspired by Kevin's take on the Bible? Or was it a good old fashioned homage/swipe on Marvel Comic's character of Black Bolt?
10: Bit by bit, most notably in the Jay and Silent Bob comic series and in Dogma the issue of Jay's sexuality has been brought into the light. It has been made fairly obvious that Jay is if not Bi-Sexual, at least open to experimentation. I am curious if this is something that will be further explored in VA5 or a future comic? Is this an aspect of Jason Mewes personality as well? If so is he comfortable with essentially announcing this to the world in such a public way? If not is he comfortable with a character who is in so many ways based on him developing aspects to himself that he does not share?
Well that's all for the moment. I look forward to hearing what ya'all have to say.
