All these Jay and Silent Bob messages that say "they rule" or "I wanna be just like them", or even "they should have another movie" - you guys just don't get it. Those aren't characters to model your life after - don't you at least listen to the DVD commentaries?? Kevin himself is blown away by people who think or say that J&SB are the best thing in his movies or that they want to be like them.
J&SB are characters Kevin created to poke fun at those people, not to encourage you to become like them. They are tools used in a story to further you along towards the point that Kevin is trying to make, they are not the point themselves. Why do you think "Strikes Back" is the last J&SB movie. I'm sure Kevin could pull a Lucas and keep cranking out J&SB movies forever and rake in the cash. We'd go see them - why not! But as a person with at least a grain of integrity, Kevin takes the high ground and instead of resting on a franchise, he MOVES ON, and creates new and wonderful things for us to experience.
There's more to life than J&SB - I'll miss them, but I don't want to be like them. It's much more fun to get a great job, and be able to afford the best weed on the block!!
But please remember, J&SB are gone and live only in our memories (and special guest appearances). Why don't you model yourself after Afleck instead. You can still say fuck and everything, but you'll have "a better place".
