- Wow, been an exciting couple of days around here, hasn’t it? The big announcements from Kevin regarding the Clerks animated show, the possibility of cut scenes and a trailer coming online, the Bluntman & Chronic figures…Information overload! Even better, we’ve got some SWEET new shots from Kevin that Jamie Anderson has taken specifically for this site so that all of you can enjoy them. These are some of the best on-set pics yet, and we’re starting to debut them with the pack of three this Monday. Get those browsers warmed up. Also, met up with Mike Oeming in Pittsburgh today. A very kind, gracious guy who hooked us up with the pages of the first “issue” of the Bluntman & Chronic trade coming this summer. Yep, we’ll have some exclusive shots of those pages to debut for you as well. A lot of it is rough, and it has no dialogue inserted thus far, but you’ll get your first peek of that stuff right here as well. It’s getting good, folks, can ya feel the excitement building to the Summer of Smith? Let’s kick off this Saturday update with more goodness for ya:

ABP Street Date TBA Next Week!
- Let the good news keep rollin’ on in! Vincent has revealed that ABP SE will arrive on DVD very soon, even BEFORE the Dogma SE streets in June. That, my friends, is good news, as those of you who have yet to see A Better Place at any of the festivals or screenings are in for a real treat. And even if ya have, remember this thing is PACKED with a new print, soundtrack, TONS of extras, a commentary, and it of course has great rewatch potential. Here’s Vincent himself with the big news:
We’ve pretty much set a firm street date which will be officially announced next week. I just wanted to give you folks the heads up on that- be on the lookout here on Tuesday or Wednesday for the official announcement (I can tell you it will street somewhat before the DOGMA S.E. does), and we’ll also disclose at that time what’s going to happen with the 1000 signed and numbered film cells.
So, keep an eye out here for the details and film cell info early next week.
First Shot Of Carlin in J&SBSB Online!
- As mentioned earlier this week, here it is! The first shot of George Carlin in his hilarious (trust us) J&SBSB cameo. Click the thumbnail above for a closer look. This scene is sure to be one of the standouts from the flick, and we’re sure it’ll survive the cut. Thanks to our scooper above and Comedy Central for the shot.

- Summer Previews are popping up in the news all over the place lately, and it’s good to see that Jay & Bob are getting props and very prominent mentions all over the place. USA Today sums it up with “Three Jasons…Lee, Mewes, and Biggs.” Movie magazine Cinescape‘s latest issue also mentions the flick, along with a pic of Jay & Bob as they appeared in Chasing Amy. Doing a cameo in the flick even hits ‘The Spin 20′ in the latest issue of Spin. There’s sure to be plenty more where they came from.
- Kevin mentioned in one of his posts (the one about the cartoon returning) that he filmed something for a Destiny’s Child special this weekend on MTV. There are two new Destiny’s Child specials debuting on MTV this weekend: “Destiny’s Child Live” begins at noon and runs for two hours, and it’s then immediately followed by “All Eyes On Destiny’s Child” at 2:30 P.M., which runs for 30 minutes. Those times are Eastern. We’re not sure if Kevin appears on either of these, but it seems like a good chance it’ll be on the latter. As usual, MTV’s going to rerun the specials constantly throughout theweekend and the week, so people will have plenty of chances to catch whatever it is that Kevin did. MTV’s schedule can be found HERE. Good luck.
- Here’s a nice new piece on Jason Lee from the new Parade magazine, which you can find in most Sunday newspapers across the country. All we’ve got is a scan, but if ya click it it’s quite readable. Check it out or buy yourself a copy.
- For all you night owls in the Toronto area, Mallrats is showing on CBC at one in the morning on Sunday (that’s 1 AM SUNDAY, so Saturday Night). Just another chance to catch the unintentially hilarious overdubbing.
- Kevin gets a quote in an article that discusses the term “geek” and its notoriety in Hollywood and the world today. Here he is:
“It’s like that scene on the bus in Bull Durham, in which Kevin Costner’s character is telling Tim Robbins’ character that he should keep his shower slippers clean and mold-free … until he gets to ‘the Show.’ At that point, he can be a slob all he wants. That’s because what’s regarded as unbecoming becomes quirky and colorful when you’ve got a degree of celebrity and you’re getting paid gobs of money.” — Kevin Smith, director/screenwriter (Jay and Slient Bob Strike Back)
- There’s a new buddy icon featuring Jay & Bob over at for you AIM users out there. Enjoy.
