Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back is one of my all time favorite movies ..

I thought it was cool that they showed up on the set of scream ... a little tit for tat there.

Although Jersey Girl was an excellent film, it got lost in the bullshit surrounding Ben and J-lo ...
Kevin Smith may have to ressurect Jay and Silent Bob to propel his career forward again.
I can understand why he doesnt want to - Strikes Back was to be their swan song and it ended beautifully on that note ..
I just hope that if he does another movie where they are involved he can still find some love for the characters - and the spite doesnt show.

the ben-j-lo thing burned my ass by the way ..

i dont get why the fuck people buy into all this hollywood media bullshit anyway ... as if we know a god damn thing about these people...

if you believe what you read in enquirer or see on entertainment tonight then you're too gullible for words. it doesnt make you an authority on the character of these people.


sorry .. had a little rant here.

Kevin Smith IS resurrecting Jay and Silent Bob to propel his career again. Clerks 2 is in the works.



EDIT: Oh damn. I didn't see this 2nd page here and alk already mentioned Clerks 2. My bad.

I thought the first Scream was fresh, original, witty and an all around good time. Two and three were both shabby sequels with nonsensical and unneccesary plot twists just to make sure we couldn't guess who the killers were. :rolleyes:

Totally agree, the two sequels were unneccessary but in their own way mimicked the endless stream pointless sequels often seen with horror franchises.

its a shame how pointless money grabbing sequels can suck the life out of the origional.
the horror genre constantly suffers from this.

And I don't think it's anything like The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

Interestingly, the underrated Texas Chain Saw Massacre: The Next Generation flirted with the post-modern/knowing approach years before Scream so horribly made this into a cool new genre for the "next generation" of horror fans.

i knew you were gonna jump all over this one :)

i never thought of Scream(the 1st one at least) as a self satisfying smug smirking pic ..

i thought it was more of a treat for horror fans .. sort of Night of The Creeps long before it - that named all the characters after famous genre personalities.

I think it's only real failing - (and not really it's fault unless you want to consider the sequesl) was that is started a whole new wave of 80's style slasher pics which i think are the most uninteresting horror films ever made.

let me be specific : american 80's horror films.

i dont want the black glove killer fans on my ass :D

For a moment there, we thought you were dissing giallos - you're right, you don't want those crazy geeks on your case...

:eek:

The sight of those vacantly determined kids faces put together in montage on the front of video boxes for Scream and its derivatives still sends a shudder.

Though Urban Legend wasn't too bad.

I agree on number 2 which also had no continuity...but I think number 3 was far better than number 2

i'm gonna check out scream 3 next time i'm at hollywood vid. i've only seen scream 1, and i absolutely loved that movie. my favorite part was the beginning or the scene in the car where he kept unlocking doors and she locked them fast to keep him out. that movie is extremely fresh and original.. and one part actually scared me. where sydney and the camera guy were watching the screen, and he looked at the door and it was open, and he said frickin 30 second delay!! and the killer jumped out and sliced him.

i liked the first one, the second was okay and the third was alright, the first was the best.

when scream first came out it was great, some what shocking, and when compaired to other feature horror films of the time quite brutal. wether you like it, love it, or hate it it helped breath life back into mainstream horror.

and please dont bitch thats just my opinion.
