Just checking in…

  • Hey, Chris here. I just wanted to check in with you all to let you know we’re ok here. Both Brad and I live near Harrisburg, PA. That’s about 3 hours from Somerset and Pittsburgh. And actually Brad’s on his honeymoon right now down in Orlando, so he’s far from this tragedy. I’m touched that people were worried for us and wanted to thank you all. Now get out to your local blood bank and make a donation! This is truly a sad day, and we should try to keep the friends and families of everyone involved in our thoughts.

  • During the recent Phantom Meance DVD press gathering held last weekend, George Lucas and his producer Rick McCallum had some nice things to say about J&SBSB. Check out what they had to say here, courtesy of DVD File.com:

Writer/Director George Lucas
Question: What kind of movie experience does watching DVD represent to you? Do you enjoy renting a DVD rather than going to a movie theatre?

George Lucas: I generally go to the movie theatres. I mean, I go to the movie theatres to see what’s happening now and then I watch DVDs for older movies that are no longer in the theatres. So I don’t really choose one or the other. If I want to see Dr. Strangelove, I can’t go to the movie theatre. But if I want to see something more contemporary, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back (laughs), I have to go to a movie theatre.


Producer Rick McCallum
Question: You mentioned that making the DVD was like making a movie, another movie. Can you talk about how much it cost to put the DVD together? What kind of investment you guys have in it?

Rick McCallum: It cost (laughter), that’s something, you know… does it matter?

Question: I think it’s interesting.

Rick McCallum: Let’s put it this way, it cost a lot, it took a lot of effort, a lot of time.

Question: How many Kevin Smith movies could you make? (laughter)

Rick McCallum: Well, it depends. Based on his last one? (laughs) It cost a lot.

We’ll be back with more later today.
