a GREAT new movie idea for KEVIN SMITH!! (I'm sure he reads these threads for ideas)
A court injunction forces drug peddlers, Jay and Silent Bob, to face working a real 9-to-5 job or face prison time for their big bust.
Not just any 9-to-5 job, but entry-level hell at an OFFICE!
This could be Kevin Smith's take on "office work," in a way that could only be with Jay and Silent Bob.

The Jay and Silent Bob well is deep, and full of future potential. Why should he stray from something that's been working sooo well for him (and for us)?

If you're still a fan, then that's fine. I'd rather see him try his hand at something else.

I'd rather see Jay and Silent Bob go to prison.
Jay getting ass-raped for two hours is comedy gold.

I saw some of it. I've said this a few times in other threads. I loved Clerks, Mallrats and Chasing Amy. I've been disappointed in his work (more or less) since those. I expected him to go the way of Spike Jonze or, at least, move on from the Jersey type films. He's too talented to limit himself to the same gags over and over.....at least in my opinion.

I'm a huge fan of Kevin Smith, but he does need to move on. Jersey Girl was a valiant effort and shows there is more to the guy than dick jokes, but he needs to try something completely different. The fans constantly ego stroking him doesn't help. He seems to be lacking the self confidence to try anything different.
If that is the case he should come up with an alias to release it under.

I always thought he should make a movie in a Christmas setting. Heck, I consider Mallrats an Easter movie and watch it every Easter.
JAY - "The Easter Bunny did this?"
BRODIE - "I told him the Easter Bunny at the Menlo Park mall was more convincing and he just jumped the railing and knocked me down."

Kevin Smith, as writer/director of his movies, suffers the same as Edward Burns, another writer/director ("The Brother McMullen" and "She's The One"), who can only do "light farce," nothing ever really dramatic. Whimsical, if you will. Nobody gets hurt (except for old men down on the pier and dirty old men executives in Dogma).
If Kevin Smith (or Edward Burns, for that matter) would drop the whimsical and put heavy life situations into his next movie, it could be something.
This horror project - I hope its something based in fact instead of a douchy horror movie ala "Saw." Do a collage of serial murderers in America, base their crimes into live action, from the early 1900's to present day. Present it as a "serial-documentary."
Do we have any idea what Smith's film with entail?

Cheech & Chong
Ironically they dealt with pot humor as well. Cheech Marin decided to grow up put it behind him and his career has flourished because of it. Tommy Chong? Well, he decided to stick with the pot and is essentially still playing the same character 30 years later.
So will Kevin Smith take the Cheech Marin route or the Tommy Chong route?
