I think they did, without that film I'd never have knew who Kevin Smith was. Beofre 2001 when it came out I had no clue who he was and still wouldn't to this very day unless that film caught my eye on DVD.

I know it's a personal reason but the truth is the truth and I cannot sugar coat it. I agree to a certain degree that they didn't NEED the film but just look at Kevin Smith, can you blame him for doing it?

Overrated... Yeah, I'll give you that much.

Quoted from Alan_Holman *sigh*  The quote should be attributed to whomever wrote the episode, and not the actor who spoke it.

You have to remember though, lines for jay are based on previous stuff that all ready exist,which was written by kevin smith, which is loosely based on Mews when he was about 16. (Smith said something on the DVD of strikes back) so without Jason Mews, Kevin may not have thought of the Jay concept, which would have made it so the character was diffrent ,if made at all, and that line may have not ever come to be.

Same with Smith's line, all are based on things he has said about him self, that is why it sounds so much like him.

Besides i think olny Mews could excute that line the way he did and make it so memorable and funny.

I hope i made sense, it's midnight and it seems to make sense, but that could be because it's so late. oh well, you get what im saying right?

Yeah, they don't need an entire movie; they need at least thirteen.  They should hurry up and churn out more while they're still alive.
