Kevin Smith

In my opinion, Kevin Smith is a great comedy writer and director.  I love his movies; for example, Clerks, Mall Rats, Chasing Amy, Dogma, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, Clerks 2, etc.  I understand he might want to make a few changes in what he has to offer society as far as entertainment is concerned, Red State, but what was he thinking?   Instead of having the two stoner's, Jay and Silent Bob, take control and save the day, why did he have to literally kill almost everyone in the story; for example, the three teenagers trying to get laid,  the gay sheriff, and so on?   Why didn't he put Jay and Silent Bob in Red State like he did in the movies listed above?  The eco dump/compost collective, which turned out to be a marijuana grow house, should have had Jay and Silent Bob intertwined with it.  But of all things, when the three high school boys where going to get laid and side swiped the sheriffs car, it should have been Jay's head that popped up from the sheriffs lap, an extension of the way George Carlin told them how to hitchhike in Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.  Lets not forget Silent Bob, he would have been taking a piss on the bushes, and when the car was side swiped, he would have turned his head to see what happened with a cigarette hanging out of his mouth.  I am not totally saying I did not care to see Red State, but I am trying to point out how it would have been more entertaining if Kevin Smith had put his two signature characters in for cameo appearances.
