They stormed the box office this summer in ‘Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back’, and now they’ve set their sights on comic book stores! Bluntman and Chronic – the superhero secret identities of Jay and Silent Bob – are ready to set the collector’s market ablaze and give new meaning to the term “blunt”. Use ‘em in the privacy of your own home to recreate the thrilling adventures of the recent View Askew summer blockbuster, re-enact the hilarity of the best-selling Image graphic novel, or create your own, X rated adventures starring these crime-busting (and law-breaking) do(bage)-gooders and their faithful simian companion, Suzanne. Based on model sheets by Michael Avon Oeming, each highly-detailed 8” tall figure is generously articulated and has been sculpted to create all of the details you expect. As with all Graphitti Designs products, we have gone the extra mile so that our figures will be the best around and will stand-out above the crowd.

The 2-disc set features the whole 5 hour show including all of the short films – which of course means this is a must have item for those who want to own Kevin’s short film “Why I Love New #*$%!&@ York”.

• Here’s the latest on ‘Vulgar’ – The film should be hitting theatres in April of 2002. No word on an exact release date or locations yet – but it has been moved back a bit from it’s projected Feb 2002 date. So, if you were at Vulgarthon 2002, consider yourselves even more priviledged. On an oddly related note, those of you who have seen the film Vulgar might see a strange similarity HERE. Weirdness, man, major weird.

• Check it out! Here’s a postcard that was nabbed at Sundance for Brian O’Halloran’s upcoming “Drop Dead Roses”! As far as we know, this is the first we’ve seen any sort of promotional one sheet material for the flick.
• “Chasing Amy” will be broadcast on the Oxygen cable channel this Monday night @ 8/7c. It’s advertised as part of their “P.M.S. Week”. Those of you who have the channel might be interested to see this, as it’s edited for TV (Oxygen is basic cable) so you’ll get to see all the creative dialogue substitutions and omissions that they made.
• In the official Playstation 2 magazine UK, Feb 2002 issue, there’s talks of rumors that Jay and Silent Bob will be featured as hidden characters in Tony Hawk’s Pro-Skater 4.
• Last week in France, a French release of the Mallrats DVD took place, called “Les Glandeurs”. The disc is in a low price collection (79 francs/around $10 US). There are no bonus features, but nice picture and sound. The Amy DVD that was due there about three months ago is still in wait.
• Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back opened at #7 in Austalia with $171,344 (inc. GST) in takings on Thursday the 24th. We’ll have the full weekend’s figures later.

• Check out this Homer Simpson figure that someone converted into Green Arrow! Fun stuff.
• According to Dark Horizons, Matt Damon’s “Bourne Identity” is being moved to new release date due to Affleck’s “Sum of All Fears” (which is set to be released on May 31st). Weird how the two dudes are now interfering with each other, ‘eh?
