I was watching Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back tonight on HBO and I got to thinking. Mr. Smith is doing the first non Jay and Bob movie that he's done yet and is moving into more serious film territory. I was kinda hoping this would happen. While I'm looking forward to seeing more in a comedy/drama style from Mr. Smith, I hope he doesn't abandon Jay and Bob.
I don't know if they should do another movie about them right away. I do think though that they should kind of walk in and out of serious flicks Mr. Smith does now and again. I do like the way Jay and Bob have like a whole universe to themselves now, almost like a comic book. All the pieces from each movie fit together very neatly. Good writing. Plus I love the adolescent and juvenile overtones in what is realistically very whitty dialogue humor at a second glance. Ohh, am I alone, or are Smith and Mewes acting better now. They seem like better actors now than they did in Clerks. Smith's facial expressions are killer. Chaplin like. He doesn't have to say shit and we all know what he's talking about. Oh, is Mewes gonna do anything else. I don't know, put him in American Pie III or something. One last thing, I gotta know, the guy with the cell phone at the end of J&SBSB who gets his ass kicked the same guy who played like five parts in Clerks? It looks like him.
