Glad to hear you've gotten married and all that...but these are some odd comments here.
: Kevin, if you read this, I will watch your final Jay and Silent Bob movie (which I'm still surprised Mewes hasn't killed himself. I love the guy, but he gets more and more sluggish in his appearance and speech..)
Now, I won't go into the tackiness of asking why someone hasn't committed suicide (sort of strange for a very Christian guy like yourself), but how can anyone say Mewes is LESS coherant than he used to be? Have you seen Clerks? If anything, the guy has pulled it together a lot since then.
: and then I will have to part from the View Askew family in order to be a good Christian dad to my kids. It's not the religion I find offensive, but the dick and fart jokes can get a little hard to explain to kids.
There's nothing wrong with letting your kids watch age-appropriate entertainment (most of Kevin's movies are rated R after all) but why does this mean you can't watch these movies anymore? If your opinion about what is good, moral entertainment changes after you have kids, isn't that sort of hypocritical? Like, I let strangers sleep on my couch, shoot heroin and play original Nintendo all day NOW, but when I have kids, all that is over.
And kids generally understand potty jokes much more than they understand the intricacies of religion. I don't think you'll be able to protect them from naughty words until they hit 18.
: I wish all of you luck who are in search of enlightenment. Christ really is the way. Not this 'religion' crud, but a personal relationship with a caring, kind God who is very intimate. I'm babbling, but the answers to life really are in the Bible.
Thanks. I found the answers to life in a big oak tree. But let's not go there.
: Affleck, Lee, Mewes, and Kevin P. Smith, good luck to you. If I never see you down here, I hope to see you up there! (you know what I mean!)
Now this is the oddest of all. If the movies Smith and the rest of these guys make are so bad that you don't feel you can watch them and lead a moral family life, how can he be going to heaven? Just wondering.
