 'Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back'
Smith, who wrote and directed "Jay and Silent Bob," stages a series of set pieces pasted onto a road trip plot out of "The Muppet Movie." The pace only lags during an overly long jewel heist scene and reaches an enjoyably loopy climax as Jay and Silent Bob roam the Miramax Films backlot.
Filmmaker Smith was censured by a gay and lesbian anti-defamation organization for gay jokes that punctuate the film, but the jokes are all about Jay's own insecurity and have little to do with disparaging gays.
Filled with in-jokes, cameo appearances by stars of Smith's past films and pop culture references galore ("Star Wars," "Planet of the Apes," "The Fugitive," etc.), "Jay and Silent Bob" will mean more to die-hard fans.

 William Jay Smith, 1918-. American author
William Jay Smith’s Papers make up one of the largest groups in the Modern Literary Manuscript Collection; they are also one of the most varied, and help demonstrate Smith’s versatility.
William Jay Smith, a prolific man of letters for over 40 years, has produced more than 30 books of poetry, criticism, translations, and children’s literature.
Although Smith is equally at home in most literary genres, he is probably best known today for his work as a translator and for the role he has played in introducing the work of numerous foreign authors to English-speaking audiences.

Kevin Smith, Jason Mewes and Brian Lynch were living on the air in Los Angeles as they took over the airwaves on 97.1 KLSX on April 30, 2005.
In this side-splitting rant-fest, Kevin Smith waxes rhapsodic and obnoxious on everything from his platonic infatuation with Ben Affleck to his bloodcurdling hatred of Britney Spears, from his shocking diagnosis with morbid obesity to the fatal flaws of SpiderMan -- all done in his inimitable, raunchy style.

 Jay and Silent Bob
"Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back" is aimed almost exclusively at fans of writer-director Kevin Smith's so-called New Jersey Chronicles, with numerous in-jokes and cross-references to other films and comic-book spinoffs from the series and with cameos by actors from previous films.
Writer-director Kevin Smith insists that "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back" will mark the end of his so-called New Jersey Chronicles, a five-film series featuring a host of Jersey suburbanites and slackers launched with "Clerks" in 1994.
Motormouth Jay and taciturn Silent Bob are, of course, two recurring characters played by Jason Mewes and Smith.

 Movie Database - [TV Guide Online]
Kevin Smith's sweet, often charming and sometimes funny film about a single father raising his young daughter opened amid speculation about GIGLI/Ben Affleck-Jennifer Lopez backlash, the absence of Smith's trademark stoners, Jay and Silent Bob, and other matters that had nothing to do with the film itself.
And though the film occasionally falls into conventional sentimental grooves (notably in Affleck's various weepy scenes), it marks a solid attempt on Smith's part to tell a mature story about adult concerns, rather than the slacker morals of teenagers.
While fans of Smith's trademark foul-mouthed characters may wonder who slipped the mellow pills into their idol's coffee, his offbeat sense of humor peeks through in the film's often witty dialogue, which touches on pornography, sexual encounters and a child who is fascinated by the murderous musical Sweeney Todd.

 :: rogerebert.com :: Reviews :: Jay And Silent Bob Strike Back (xhtml)
"Jay and Silent Bob" will be seen as a self-indulgence by Kevin Smith to those outside the circle of his films--and by those within it as Kevin Smith's indulgence to them.
The connecting threads, apparently, are Jay and Silent Bob, who we met in Smith's first movie, "Clerks," where they were permanently stationed outside a convenience store, ostensibly pot dealers, more accurately waiting for something to happen.
They moved inside in "Mall Rats," had their lives ripped off to make a comic book in "Chasing Amy," and risked salvation in "Dogma." Having visited all of Smith's other movies, they are now given their own, in which characters and stars from the earlier pictures return the favor.

In response to a bill by Congressman Jay Inslee and Congressman Adam Smith, Hobson had committed to include legislation in the budget to end dumping in unlined trenches.
"Only the threat of a statewide ballot initiative coupled with Congressional adoption of legislation by Congressman Jay Inslee and Adam Smith, has forced the Energy Department to backpedal on putting an end to dumping waste in unlined trenches" said Pollet.

 Joey Baloney reviews Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back
While Jay and Silent Bob are the focus of the film and the source of most of the humor, some of the funniest moments occur during the myriad of cameos Smith has managed to squeeze into this film.
But here, they play off each other brilliantly and when Jay goes off on his usual raps, rants, dances and gestures, its all to the amusement of Smith who you can see is barely holding in his own laughter during several scenes.
In JandSBSB Smith finally gets to vent his frustration.

Smith, director of the indie hit movie Clerks as well as Mallrats, Chasing Amy, Dogma, and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, gathers here more than two-dozen columns he has written for the Left-leaning British political-cultural magazine arena.
Smith, unfortunately, is a filmmaker who had just two Bright Ideas---Jay and Silent Bob---and then ran out of things to say.

 SPLICEDwire "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back" review (2001) Kevin Smith, Jason Mewes, Ben Affleck, Jason Biggs, Joey Lauren Adams, Shannon Elizabeth, Matt Damon, Jason Lee
Jay and Silent Bob (played by Jason Mewes and Smith himself) are vulgar yet somehow endearing, dimwitted bakeheads and convenience store loiterers who have appeared in all five of Smith's New Jersey-based comedies, in which he frequently mixes base humor with surprising social insightfulness.
Smith pulls out all stops, makes no apologies in sophomoric, spoof-heavy 'Jay and Silent Bob'
The latest low-budget, high-dialogue laffer from Kevin Smith -- writer-director of "Clerks," "Mallrats," "Chasing Amy" and "Dogma" -- this film puts his perennial cameo characters front and center for a combination road-trip/ruthless Hollywood satire that is so blanketed with ribald raillery it feels like machine-gun fire hitting your funny bone.

 Salon.com Arts & Entertainment "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back"
Jay and Silent Bob are recurring characters in Smith's films, having appeared as amusingly low-key minor characters in each movie from "Clerks" to "Dogma," and "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back" is, Smith claims, his fond farewell to the duo.
Apparently, comic-book nerds everywhere are outraged about an upcoming movie featuring characters created by Affleck in "Chasing Amy," based on his local neighborhood slacker-stoners, Jay (Jason Mewes) and Silent Bob (Smith).
Jay is the verbose, thoughtlessly crude one; Silent Bob is the cranky one who (almost) never speaks up, the straight guy who more often than not responds to Jay's shenanigans with a cartoonishly cocked eyebrow.

Albert Jay Nock was not the ur-Derb, though I still suspect Derb wears a cape from time to time and harbors disturbingly pro-Belgian attitudes.
If people listened to the Derbyshires of those days -- and there were many (I think Albert Jay Nock was the conservative movement's Ur-Derbyshire in some respects) -- the 20th century would have been vastly uglier than it was.
If Albert Jay Nock is the Ur-Derbyshire, who was the Ur-Goldberg?
