: He's been doing the whole Jay & Bob thing for seven years now and he feels it's time to move on. He wants to carry on making movies but doesn't want to feel he has to reference the Jersey films or have Jay & Bob popping up all the time in every movie he makes... the guy is getting into his thirties and has a family. He wants to move on...
: Ultimately it's a good thing - just look at The X-Files it should have ended a long time ago but as long as it makes money they are going to keep bastardizing the memory of a once good show. Kevin is showing courage to bow out of the whole Jay & Bob thing before it starts to hinder his career... and bravo to him for doing it.

I agree. I think Kevin as a writer can do so much more, not there's anything wrong with all the View Askew flicks. They have their place, but when doing a more serious drama, Jay & silent Bob may detract from a good story rather than help it.
It's like William Shatner, can you imagine playing the same character for four decades and not being able to escape the pigeon hole created by rabid fanatics ?
