in J&SBSB it might look like the movie takes place the same time as Clerks .. but there was no restraining order in Clerks since Jay & Silent Bob are seen at night at the store, and Dante and Randall are in different clothes so its pretty much coincidence that Dante is stuck at work again and those "savages" jammed gum in the locks, again .. to me it looks like it takes place a few years later than the previous 4 movies ..for our references we have Jay referring to God as "She" (Dogma), and they save Suzanne the ape (Chasing Amy). The only other references are that Holden sold to Bankey "years ago" (Chasing Amy), and Brody has a poster hanging up about leaving the "Tonight Show" and the line "Would you like a chocolate covered pretzel?" (Mallrats)

I dunno, I think you're wrong. There are so many references in the movie pointing towards it being the same day...Randall IS wearing his CCCP hockey jersey. And why would the shutters still be jammed with the same sign out front? In "Clerks", Dante said they were getting the shutters replaced Tuesday, which means "Jay & Silent Bob" should occur between Saturday and Tuesday...I think the references to "Chasing Amy" and "Dogma" were just inside jokes within the movie...Who knows though.
The Watcher:

Well, without the interview (or some sort of proof that it's not the same day), I don't really know what to believe...But based on what I saw, it looks to me like it's a continuation of "Clerks"... Post up the interview, or timeline, or whatever, and maybe I'll change my mind...PeACe
The Watcher:
