  • A TVO talkshow which recently featured Pat Mastrioanni from Degressi Junior High fame (he played Joey Jeremiah on the show) and a question was directed at him about Kevin’s upcoming appearance on the film. Pat spoke very fondly of Kevin but said that due to scheduling conflicts with Kevin on the set of Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back that Kevin will NOT appear on the show. The role is set to go to actor/writer/director Don McKellar (of the very fun “Twitch City” program) instead.

  • Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back got a mention in the current issue of US Weekly. The text is as follows:
James’s Dig At Jason

They may be teen idols, but James Van Der Beek and Jason Biggs don’t mind making fun of there young careers. When Biggs flubbed lines while playing himself in the new comedy Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, Van Der Beek cracked, “You wouldn’t last a day on the [Dawson’s} Creek.” Later, when Biggs was recognized for his infamous scene in American Pie, he screamed, “It always comes back to that f—ing pie!”

A scan of the article appears above.

  • Marc Spitz made a full page pseudo-game on p. 84 of September’s SPIN magazine (currently on newsstands). It appears to be plugging Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, every other “Jersey” film, and even mentions viewaskew.com and the ruckus on the message boards there. If anyone’s got a scan, send it on!
  • The Channel Ten television network in Australia has announced that this Tuesday, July 31st, they will be hosting Chris Rock on the show “Rove Live” that will air at 9:30pm Australian Eastern Standard Time. There’s no set focus of the interview, but as it will be a live program, J&SBSB will likely at least get a nice mention.
  • J&SBSB is currently the #1 most visted preview at Upcomingmovies.com.
  • Vulgar is now set for an October 12th limited release.
  • The syndicated alternative rock countdown program “Out of Order”’s host Jeb played Afroman’s “Because I Got High” and then went on to say, “If that was the first time you’ve heard that, you’re lucky. Clerks and Chasing Amy director Kevin Smith did that video and his new movie, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back will be in theaters next month.”
  • Mike Avon Oeming will be appearing this weekend at Super-Mega-Show at the Meadowlands Expo Center. It’s mostly a sci-fi/celebrity has-been show, but it’s also your chance to say hi to Mike and maybe get your own Bluntman & Chronic sketch! All the details can be found right HERE.
  • Jeff Anderson’s “Now You Know” now has a review available at the IMDB. Check it out HERE.
