Snoochie Boochies! While Kevin Smith announced last year that a third Jay and Silent Bob movie would be hitting screens, he provided some more details on the threequel this weekend, telling his audience at the San Diego Comic-Con that the movie will officially be titled Store Wars.

While little was revealed, Smith did say that the next movie will find Jay and Silent Bob opening a weed dispensary — presumably in Smith’s home state of New Jersey — and finding some stiff competition with a rival joint.

...

Judging by what we know of the plot so far, Jay and Silent Bob: Store Wars does seem like it would try to ground the characters (played by Jason Mewes and Smith himself) in a territory and plot they are more comfortable in. The weed biz has been an endeavor of the duo’s the past couple times around, so centering around that – and not, say, a cross-country trek – should work. It seems that Smith learned his lesson with Clerks III as well, as he says he won’t be killing off any characters this time around…

I think it's pretty cool that Jason Mewes is off the hard drugs. 40 something stoners aren't any more sad than 40 year old caffeine addicts, which is to say, it's not really sad at all.

well, by stoners I don't mean people who at 40 something smoke a joint and are let's say "functional" by stoner I mean that person who makes joints 100% of their personality and whose normal state is to be so high that you can't have a normal conversation with him

That at 20 can have its joke, I'm sorry but, yes, at 40 it's sad

Haha fair, I mostly don't disagree but if someone was on something else and then makes pot their personality, hey, power to them for getting off the other sauces!

Oh, I wasn't referring to the actors, of whom I actually know very little about their personal lives, I was referring to the characters themselves.
