Hee!
I am SO GLAD to see this thread. My sisters don't get how I can like Kevin Smith movies (aside from Affleck) and my Kevin Smith fan friends don't get how I can be in a sorority.
1. Tie - Clerks & Mallrats
The originals. Kevin says he hates Mallrats now, but I love it. Clerks was a friggin classic film, and should get more credit. "I wasn't even supposed to be here today."
2. Tie- Chasing Amy & Dogma
Amy was brilliant, and both Adams' and Affleck's best acting, ever. I saw Dogma when I was going through an I hate my catholic church phase, and it was brilliant. It's a movie you can't get completely after the first viewing. "Fingercuffs."
3. Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back
Honestly, the only characters I liked in this flick were the recurrings. The new ones left much to be desired (except Mark Hamil, that was classic). I know Smith cast all those teen freaks just because he wanted to prove a point that he could. But the whole movie just kinda screamed "SELLOUT" to me.
As for Jersey Girl. It is NOT a continuation of the rest of his movies. The "Jersey Trilogy" consists of Clerks, Mallrats and Chasing Amy. Dogma was an aside from that, and Jay and Silent Bob Strike back was a sendoff of all those characters. When Smith said he wasn't doing any more "Jersey flicks" he meant that he was not going to use any more recurring characters from his older films in his new ones. (Holden, Banky, Brodie, Rick Derris, the Jones sisters).
I'm feeling I will probably not like Jersey Girl.
God damn J-Ho. I hate her hate her hate her. At least bring back JLA. She and Affy had chemistry, and that would make for a good flick. Casting J-Lo is a mistake and I can't beleive Kevin let Ben talk him into casting her.
