Kevin Smiths wife? - Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back (2001) Discussion

I couldn't figure out who that was or why she was cast. She was terrible. Now I know, and it makes me sad at the world.

I both love and hate you for things like this, IMDb.

When I first saw this movie I also didn't know who she was and how she got cast along side the the hotness of Shannon, Ali, and Eliza.

Love your quote by the way.

A boat that floats on water can also sink in it.

It reminds me of that old skit on Sesame Street:

Three of these things belong together
Three of these things are kind of the same
But one of these things just doesn't belong here
Now it's time to play our game, it's time to play our game

(I might be a little off on the words, I haven't seen that skit in forever).

On the DVD commentary Kevin Smith said his wife asked him to put her in the movie. So he considered giving her the very small role of Baby Silent Bob's mother. (The baby who played Baby Silent Bob is her and Kevin's real life daughter). But she said, "No, I want to be one of the leather clad jewel thieves". And there you have it. Did she really think she was as beautiful as Shannon Elizabeth, Ali Larter and Eliza Dushku?

I wish I knew where everyone is getting this "shrew" and "bitch" idea of her. Have any of you *beep* met her or at least seen her in an interview?

Jeez, I mean for all I know she is a bitch but I'm not going to think she's a bitch for asking to be in some crappy comedy movie.

Also, that line about the dog that some poster commented on was proof of nothing. I sure as *beep* hope that you don't think her little smart-ass comment meant anything other than the fact that that's probably the crack 90% of women would make. It doesn't mean anything. It's just an obvious joke.

Now I haven't heard Smith's radio show but if he makes her out to be a misandrist it might be in a "joking" here's what we argued about the other day. I mean, couples exaggerate arguments when they repeat them. Add into the fact that my husband and I are ALWAYS saying sexist things and if anyone listening in would think that we each hated the opposite sex.

The fact is that we are both extremely sarcastic and joke around constantly.

So like I said. Maybe she is a bitch. But I would love to hear a clip of audio or video that shows her being a shrewish dominating bitch.

What's Ironic is that in Clerks II he basically cast her as the bitch wife. Then showed at the end that the geek should marry the geeky sexy girl instead. Something he DID NOT DO in his own life.

Subconscious at work if you ask me. They only stayed together because she got pregnant.

EXCEPT She was going to play Rosario Dawson's character until Dawson was cast. The role Rosario Dawson wound up playing was apparently written for Smith's wife. Honestly, I dont see why everyone's bitching about her. She's not the greatest, but its not like she really *beep* this or Clerks 2 up and she's not as ugly as your making her out to be.

HEEEEERES JOHNNY!

[–] JackBravo69 12 years ago

Its not that she´s ugly, she´s just totally out of place next to the other 3 chicks! They are so damn hot that they totaly eclipse her. Their looks only enhance her blandness when they´re all together!

She's a little out of place, I'm not denying that, but a few people on this board are acting like she ruined the movie or killed someone was more what I was getting at. =)

Actually, she's pretty laid back. I listen to Kevin Smith's podcasts daily and him and Jen have a show together. She's kinda nerdy, joking around and she has to have the patience of a god, putting up with Kevin 24/7 (if you've heard the show, you'll understand).

Also, the reason she wants to be in Kevin's movies is so that she can be productive while hanging out on set.

So no, Jen isn't a bitch like many people here claims.

[–] Slogutis 12 years ago

I agree with you. This thread got totally out of hand.

Some people are a combination of things. She might be part geek and part plastic surgery. Who knows, who cares.

I liked her in Clerks II so in my book she is cool.

[–] CassieNewton 12 years ago

I liked her in Chasing Amy and Mallrats, but agree she's nothing compared to Shannon/Eliza.

And all you'll have is an empty heart and a chipped cup.

[–] Darwinskid 11 years ago

She wasn't in Chasing Amy or Mallrats.

My ignore list is quite large.

She's a dry piece of cardboard for a dry cardboard role.

[–] random_guy2 9 years ago

The sad thing is, she wasn't really that old. She was only 30 when the movie was made, only 2 years older than Shannon Elizabeth.

reply

[–] Druff (1447) 3 years ago

I'm going to venture a guess that perhaps she lies about her age.

reply

[–] bertverwoerd 9 years ago

Indeed, she did not fit in that group at all. She reminded me of the 80-year-old female student in Not Another Teen Movie.

reply

[–] HorrorFanatic24 9 years ago

Are you like 12? She was 30 in this movie.

reply

[–] Druff (1447) 3 years ago

30 going on 46 maybe. She obviously lies about her age, dipshit.

[–] bijinius 9 years ago

Ugh. She's kind of a total dog, isn't she? You can clearly tell Smith was pussy-whipped right into giving her the juicy role of a "sexy" jewel thief, along with those three other goddesses. It's disgusting, really; to think she was vain and deluded enough to think she at all belonged in that quartet of gorgeous women. You can SO tell that early in his career, they met and out of some deep-seated nerd complex, Kevin figured she was the best he could get. Which of course we all know just isn't true at all, 'cause we all know for a fact that hot girls show up to his appearances all the time.

If only he waited a little. Can you imagine Smith's temptation these days, though?? Those totally ready and willing 20 year old foxes out there on the road, knowing he's gotta go back home to THAT Hound. The poor guy. I totally understand his VERY frequent rages a lot better though, knowing what I know now.
