MINOR SPOILERS AHEAD IN THIS NEWSBITE…Starz Movie news is currently airing randomly on the pay network (one viewer caught it after a Dogma airing) and it’s feautring a TON of new footage from Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back. The piece focuses mainly on Kevin discussing Jason Lee and their desire to do Fletch Won (during which they aired longer clips of Secret Stash Scene), and also airs a new inteview with Mark Hamill from the Bluntcave set. This time there’s new footage of the Bongsaber battle including Jay using his Double Bladed Green Bong Saber! We’ll try and get this online for you if we can snag a copy somehow.

Oni Press just released their annual color special last week in which several creators contribute their own stories.The lead off story is a really funny gag about (Mike Allred’s) Madman being killed and the detectives from Brian Micheal Bendis & Mike Avon Oeming’s POWERS series investigating it. They go around to many different comic characters (including Kevin Matchstick from Matt Wagner’s Mage series) asking questions. On one page, they’re with a ton of Oni Press signature character when the Jay and Silent Bob reference is made. Check out the cover of the issue and the scanned page above.The book runs 48 pages in full color and is available for 5.95.
If your cable system carries the TV Guide Channel, wait long enough and you will see their “Behind The Scenes” segment on Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, including clips and interviews with Mark Hamill (they list his character as just “Knocker”) and Eliza “Duckshoot” Dushku. They promise more coverage as the release gets closer and mention that the Dogma SE DVD is now available.
A reader spotted this IMDB description of Jeff Anderson’s new flick “Now You Know”. Anderson wrote, directed, and stars in this film, which looks to even feature a cameo from Kevin & Jennifer themselves. No current release information is available, but we’ll keep you posted if we manage to catch this one.

Finally today, in some humorous news…Check out this new pic that a scooper found of Jennifer and “Bob” Smith. Looks like Kevin’s screen presence has overtaken his real life persona for that journalist. Link (and funny mistake) courtesy of Iwon.com.
