Jay and Silent Bob Get Old: Tea Bagging in the UK

I've seen quite a few of the Jay and Silent Bob On Stage movies. Usually it's pretty funny to see Silent Bob just chatting away and giving extreme long stories to short questions. The guy has been around, so he makes an interesting story.

Not this one. Here Jay and Bob come on stage together, and start chatting to each other. And that's really it: chit chat. Boring stuff that we don't need to hear. I'm sorry Jay, but you're only half as interesting as Bob, yet you say twice as much. And the silly game that you've invented must be a new depth in creativity. What were you smoking?

To you as the audience I say: do yourself a favor and skip this one. There are plenty of other Silent Bob On Stage movies. This is the worst of them, the other ones are very entertaining.

Basically three one-hour stage presentations (OK, sit-down conversations) between Kevin Smith and Jason Mewes, about Mewes' bodily fluids. Most specifically, one -- and the many ways he would produce it. Outrageously, grossly funny at first, but then, even though it's not repetitive it's mostly just plain gross.

I'm sure the paying audience felt misled, as I did, thinking it was going to be anecdotes about their movies or some such. There was a stretch of about 30 minutes in the third show where there was not one laugh. Admittedly it was about a serious subject (Jay's addictions), but not really anything I wanted for entertainment.

The final thought I came away with was "Never shake hands with Jason Mewes."

Let me say this out of the gate: I'm a Kevin Smith fan. I have seen everything he put his name on and loved it all, especially the previous Q&A's. His chemistry with Mewes was very entertaining, almost as much as Mewes' obvious discomfort with fame.

This one, however, is sad and it is bad. Jason Mewes is clinging to his old image and it truly is painful to watch. His face and voice have literally been morphed by years of drug abuse and there's something unsettling with watching a fat 40+ year old and a drug addict talking about jerking off for over an hour.

Skip this one guys, nothing to see in this one.
