Silent Bob

Yes, I know when you make a tribute you should usually know alot about the character. All I know is this guy is tha shiiiiit and isn't that what's really important? So far at this moment, the only movie I've seen with him in it is "Dogma" with Chris Rock and that chick who played the mortician or whatever in Men in Black (If you've seen both movies and don't know who I'm talking about, The Last Zion and J's new partener at the end of MIB are the same woman. See? Ah-ha!) If you haven't seen the movie, Jay (Bob's "hetero-lifemate") and Silent Bob are "prophets" according to the guy from Galaxy Quest who are to help the Last Zion from stopping two angels from entering heaven for it would prove God wrong, reverse his decree, and end all exsistence. Jay and Silent Bob are funny as hell though, but especially Silent Bob. He's only says two things throughout the whole movie: "No ticket!" and "Thanks." But that's what makes him so kick-ass: he doesn't talk much so everything is usually in facial expressions... and the names Jay calls him ("All I know is that they would've kicked yours and Lunch-Box's ass if I hadn't represented." "...he starts crying like a little bitch with a skinned knee and shit..."). The movie is damn good. Honestly, damn good. Watch it. Better yet, buy it. Give Bob some money. He has kids needing to go to college. Bob and Jay have created sort of a cult phenomenon. They were in the movies "Clerks" and I think "Mallrats" and "Chasing Amy" but like I said earlier, I only saw Dogma. He's inspired comics, action figures, merchandise of other sorts, and the was a shortly lived Clerks saturday morning cartoon. Is it just me or does that incourage little kids to watch R-rated movies? J u s t A s k i n ' . . . I was in a High-School classroom where somebody had to do a poem about some kind of person or object (an Ode) and somebody wrote an "Ode to Silent Bob". It said some shit like The 13th Apostle had his piece in your armor, (Chris Rock, the 13th apostle in Dogma, fell from heaven naked and asked to borrow his long overcoat. Jay made the comment "His piece will be rubbing inside of your armor!" Chris Rock's reply after being lent the jacket was, "Thanks. I'll try and tuck it back.")The Last Zion you swore you'd never harm her. You know, shit like that.Silent Bob is an icon of a generation. A generation of people who like nothing better than to hang out at liquor stores, whooping ass, and smoking cigarettes. Silent Bob truly is... A MAN OF OUR TIMES.


I salut you, Silent Bob: The Man of Our Times.
