Snoochie Boochies! While Kevin Smith announced last year that a third Jay and Silent Bob movie would be hitting screens, he provided some more details on the threequel this weekend, telling his audience at the San Diego Comic-Con that the movie will officially be titled Store Wars.

While little was revealed, Smith did say that the next movie will find Jay and Silent Bob opening a weed dispensary — presumably in Smith’s home state of New Jersey — and finding some stiff competition with a rival joint.

...

Judging by what we know of the plot so far, Jay and Silent Bob: Store Wars does seem like it would try to ground the characters (played by Jason Mewes and Smith himself) in a territory and plot they are more comfortable in. The weed biz has been an endeavor of the duo’s the past couple times around, so centering around that – and not, say, a cross-country trek – should work. It seems that Smith learned his lesson with Clerks III as well, as he says he won’t be killing off any characters this time around…

So they're some sort of Clerks?

Stares straight into camera

[-] Foni@lemm.ee 12 points 11 months ago

Why? A twenty-something stoner can be funny (or was 20 years ago), a forty-something stoner has always been rather sad.

[-] orbitz@lemmy.ca 7 points 11 months ago

Not that this helps their case but they're over 50 now. Well Jason Mewes only turned 50 in June so depending on filming maybe be forty something. I'm older, I still like Kevin Smith, I have simple tastes. I still watch Baseketball now and then. Though I don't think a group of me would make much of a market heh. To each their own.

[-] UKFilmNerd@feddit.uk 4 points 11 months ago

Basketball is an utter classic. It deserves more recognition, I love that film.

[-] BruceTwarzen@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago

Baseketball is a masterpiece in comedy. Whatever kevin smith has been cooking up the past 20 years is definitely not. I can't even listen to him anymore. He wants so hard to work for disney it's so sad.

[-] averyminya@beehaw.org 1 points 11 months ago

I think it's pretty cool that Jason Mewes is off the hard drugs. 40 something stoners aren't any more sad than 40 year old caffeine addicts, which is to say, it's not really sad at all.

[-] Foni@lemm.ee 4 points 11 months ago

well, by stoners I don't mean people who at 40 something smoke a joint and are let's say "functional" by stoner I mean that person who makes joints 100% of their personality and whose normal state is to be so high that you can't have a normal conversation with him

That at 20 can have its joke, I'm sorry but, yes, at 40 it's sad

[-] averyminya@beehaw.org 1 points 11 months ago

Haha fair, I mostly don't disagree but if someone was on something else and then makes pot their personality, hey, power to them for getting off the other sauces!

[-] Foni@lemm.ee 3 points 11 months ago

Oh, I wasn't referring to the actors, of whom I actually know very little about their personal lives, I was referring to the characters themselves.

His movies have been aggressively bad since the late 2000s. Wish he still had some good ones left in him but I think those days have passed.

I found him, I found the fan of the film! 😆

[-] Emperor@feddit.uk 2 points 11 months ago

You were bound to find one eventually. Yoga Hosers should also be very much in my wheelhouse but really very much wasn't.

[-] UKFilmNerd@feddit.uk 1 points 11 months ago

We've conversed, you know how I feel. I'm not really a horror person so Tusk wasn't really for me and I'm not sure who Yoga Hosers was for. I stopped watching after fifteen minutes I think.

Despite that, I've enjoyed everything else Smith has directed, but not Cop Out although I don't count that because he's a director for hire really for that one. Yes, I even really enjoy Jersey Girl!

During COVID, I decided to upgrade my Smith collection into HD and that's no small task. I was buying copies from all over the place to get the best versions.

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

This is what happens when you have one idea, and try to make it work for 30 years.

[-] jordanlund@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

I think his last interesting one was Red State. 2011.

[-] Banichan@dormi.zone 1 points 11 months ago

No they haven't.

[-] Macaroni_ninja@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

His last few movies felt like 90 minutes inside joke montages for people who follows his podcast/friends/social media

[-] BruceTwarzen@lemm.ee 6 points 11 months ago

Man clerks still is one of my favourite movies ever, but Kevin himself has become insufferable to me. I still wanted to like the last jay and silent bob movie but it was just weird and super cringe.

[-] Squizzy@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

I only very recently started watching his movies and I thought Clerks was fantastic, a great ending to the series.

I wouldnt be following everything he does but I sre could, he seems fun.

[-] BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

chasing amy is my favorite, have you seen it yet? what were your thoughts?

[-] Squizzy@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

It was one of the first, myself and my partner watched it together. She thought it was good but I really liked it, but I cannot remember anything outside of thinking the characters were just brilliant.

[-] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 5 points 11 months ago

a third Jay and Silent Bob movie

I know it's numbered "three," but that still sounds wrong.

[-] BroBot9000@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

Jay and Silent Bob 3 Store Wars the search for more money to milk from every single IP that’s left.

No IP is safe from the grasp of remakes, sequels and prequels.

Coming up next the all female remake of the A Team: The B Team. Fallowed by its spin off the C Team: a team that is nothing but cloned Chandlers.

[-] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 6 points 11 months ago

The Amy Clerks Wars 8: Jay and Silent Bob strike back again

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

I'm interested in the double D team.

It was absolute trash.

Seemed like some weird attempt to try and force his kid into a movie.

[-] BruceTwarzen@lemm.ee -1 points 11 months ago

When it came out, i kinda liked it. But i think i mainly liked it because i just assumed they are gonna make a third one that would be better because they learned some things and connect the dots in between what makes the first one work and the second one didn't. But yeah, it's not good and i assume the third one is gonna be even worse.

What always makes me kinda mad is that Kevin is still riding the wave of the first clerks, while also CONSTANTLY telling everyone that he doesn't understand why so many people like that "bad" movie.

[-] rainynight65@feddit.org 2 points 11 months ago

I haven't watched a Kevin Smith movie since the atrocious 'Zack and Miri' and the nightmare fuel that was 'Red State'. I wasn't even aware there had been a second Jay and Silent Bob.

My tastes have changed though, I don't know if I could still stomach 'Dogma' today.

[-] BruceTwarzen@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

Ufff i used to like dogma a lot, it did not hold up for me. And the latest jay and silent bob was probably one of the cringiest movies i have ever seen. Maybe it wasn't even that bad, but i listened to a podcast before i watched it where he talked about how fantastic the movie was and how much time he spend perfecting it and how absolutely proud he was of his work. I don't think i watched more than 20min.

[-] UKFilmNerd@feddit.uk 1 points 11 months ago

I'm a fan, I'll give it a go. Reboot was okay, I especially loved the comic-con piss take at the end. At the moment, I'm more excited for The 4:30 Movie which gets me in the nostalgia feels already.
