Hey Kev, got some questions for you about this flick and general ones about film.
1) In the movie, when Jay and your-self were in the van with your wife and the other chicks and Jay made the reference to Silent Bob “Busting his first cherry” at Quick Stop, was that a real life reference>?
2) If you don’t mind telling me, what was the budget for Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back>?
3) How did you get your start with Clerks, did you just go to Miramax and put it on some guys desk, did you have friends in the bizz>? And if it was friends in the bizz, would you be my friend in the film industry>?
4) Where did you come up with the ideas for the other 4 flicks>? Meaning like the dialog and the premise>?
5) Did you write the part your wife played specifically for her, and if so, did you write her character to kind of resemble your character, because she really didn’t have much dialog>?
6) What advice can you give me, I want to be a film maker, like your-self, but I don’t know how to go about it besides film school, and even that’s a little shaky because I want to go to a good film school but I don’t have one here in Rhode Island, so where can you say is a good film school, or even the one you went to>?
7) Alright, last one, I have a couple of scripts I’m trying to write, but I am focused on one of them at this point in time, but I can’t get it to go anywhere, at least in my opinion I can’t, so is there anyway I could e-mail, or even snail-mail you a copy of it and maybe if you get some time you could read it over and give me some pointers on the dialog and such, I would love for you to do that, but it would be understandable if you couldn’t, just let me know>?
Thanks for your time, and you did a hell of a fucking job on this flick. Thanks again for all the great movies, oh, and I’m going to see the flick for my 3rd time tomorrow.
