• It was a historical moment when last night, at 12:05 AM (so really it was Tuesday morning), Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back filmed its last scene (not in order, though, this isn’t necessarily stuff at the end of the film). Chris, myself, and my girlfriend were fortune enough to be there and invited by Kevin into the Quick Stop to witness this historic occasion. We got plenty of shots of the interior, featuring Dante and Randal back in character and behind the counter. Very appropriate that Kevin chose to finish the Askewniverse exactly where it started. Last night’s scenes featured Dante & Randal, but the final scene shot was simply a television set, on which its content will be later digitally inserted. Kevin also was cool enough to throw us into the extended scene with Dante & Randal. Look for us doing some shopping in the background of the Quick Stop in small walk-on roles. We promise the overacting won’t be as bad as in Dogma. It was a blast, and a once in a lifetime chance to be a part of View Askew history. Thanks, Kev!

Sunday morning saw more filming of Quick Stop stuff as well. Gramp was on the scene for this stuff as well as last night’s final scenes and sent in plenty of pics from the outside. One of the pics features some close-up shots for the “flashback” scene (note the prices!). These pics are presented above.

Last night, Kevin, Brian, & Jeff all were taking time between scenes and after filming to take photos, sign autographs, and talk to the sizeable crowd that gathered on this chilly New Jersey evening, and be a part of View Askew history. It was a pleasure and an honor to be on hand to watch Kevin & Scott film their final scenes of the Askewniverse in this historic location, as well as to hear that final call and applaud the end of filming. Congratulations to the cast and crew on a spectacular job. It was great coming back to the set again, and especially cool to see the end. August can’t come soon enough.
