  1. THE DEPARTED: The One Everybody Else Liked Too
  2. LITTLE CHILDREN: The One That Would’ve Won Best Picture If Harvey Weinstein Had Released It Four Years Ago, Circa Miramax
  3. HALF NELSON: The One That Made Me Ashamed I Was Ever Identified as an Independent Filmmaker, Because This is Real Independent Film

  • This is why Kevin Smith is the man. He's a movie fan just like the rest of us. Though I personally disagre with his number one. I'm so happy he liked Half Nelson, Little Children and United 93 as much as I did.

  • Just observing this blog's lovely past!
  • In 2000, Smith and Mosier teamed up with television writer David Mandel (Seinfeld and SNL) to develop an animated television show based on Clerks. This was an idea Smith had since the production of Mallrats and, after pitching it to nearly every major television network, ABC TV picked it up for airing in March 2000.
  • After being delayed to May, Clerks: The Animated Series aired only two episodes before being cancelled as a result of poor ratings. The six produced episodes were released on DVD in 2001, marking one of the first occasions in which a very short-lived TV series found success in the DVD format.
  • After the series was cancelled Smith planned on turning it into a major motion picture. While that film was never made, Smith has stated that what would have been the Clerks animated film became Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back.
  • As an actor, Smith is known for his role as Silent Bob in Clerks, Mallrats, Chasing Amy, Dogma, Jay And Silent Bob Strike Back, and Clerks II. He made a cameo appearance in the horror film Scream 3, and was featured along with Jason Mewes in several Degrassi episodes, including a special, "Jay and Silent Bob Do Degrassi" (also as a fictional version of himself).
  • Jay and Silent Bob are fictional characters portrayed by Jason Mewes and Kevin Smith, respectively, in Kevin Smith's View Askewniverse, a fictional universe created and used in most films, comics and television by Kevin Smith, which began in Clerks.
  • Jay and Silent Bob have appeared in most of Smith's films with the exceptions being Jersey Girl and Zack and Miri Make a Porno.
  • They are drug dealers, mainly marijuana, who spend most of their time standing in front of stores selling their product. This was only changed once in Clerks: The Animated Series, in which they were turned into illegal fireworks salesmen, with no mention made of their drug habits.
