Don't cut a sentence of mine in half, and then respond to the first half. I knew you knew this, but it needed to be there for the second half of the sentence.

: Absolutely nothing, monsieur, just asking a question, but thank you again for your wonderful response to a simple question. As always, your insight has helped to cheer the day of another fan. You're too cool for me man, and internet cool is another kind altogether...
Where the hell did that come from? I'm not trying to be cool. I'm arguing over what to call Kevin's movies as a whole. There's nothing even close to cool about that. I was just answering you.
No director has some sort of cute name to lump all his films together into one, so Kevin shouldn't either. Its part of a greater problem that nobdy wants to take Kevin seriously as a film maker. People would rather come up with loopholes in the so-called "Askewniverse" and bitch about Jay and Silent Bob being retired than actually appreciate one of Kevin's films. I think Kevin is trying to get away from that with Jersey Girl. He wants to ditch the image of a filmmaker that shouldn't be taken seriously, and we're really not helping by calling his latest by the same name as his Jay and Silent Bob films.
Call it a Vew Askew Production, call it a Kevin Smith film. Don't give it some bullshit pet name. Kevin deserves more.
