Kevin Smith uses the opening guitar riff from Joe Walsh's "Life's Been Good" in the '70s prologue -- A SONG THAT WASN'T RELEASED UNTIL 1978, EIGHT YEARS AFTER KEVIN SMITH WAS BORN!!!!!!
I'm sorry, but I couldn't enjoy the movie after this glaring snafu. It was just too distracting. I flung down my popcorn in disgust, emptied my Coke on the six old ladies in front of me -- who squealed, "Noonch!" in frigid terror -- and left in a huff. Then I came back for the 4 p.m. matinee and laughed my ass off, just as hard as I did at the evening show.
