- The New Jersey Devils have gone to Game 7 against the Carolina Hurricanes — That game will be played tonight, in Newark, at 7:30 PM. Follow Kevin’s Twitter as he’ll be posting live updates from his beautiful luxury box in The Rock! A win tonight will allow the devils to move on to the next round of the playoffs – A loss, and their season is over. But we won’t even think of that.
Kevin purchased a luxury box at The Rock to run though the playoffs this year, since he’s now living in the area scouting for the new flick, which starts shooting in June. He originally was writing blogs from the NHL as a part of this initiative, but the blogs have since moved to his Twitter and his Silent Bob Speaks page to avoid any potential censorship.
Yahoo Sports recently ran a story lamenting the loss of Kev’s voice on the NHL.com website:
It’s disappointing to see the NHL play it so safe with what was rather benign content from one of the few household names in its “celebrity” blogging community. (No disrespect intended to the great Jay Baruchel and Jason Reitman.) The League’s gotten a bit more accepting of unconventional voices on its official Web site this postseason; it’s a shame to see one of them silenced because of an overly puritanical approach to editorial.
Of course, the upside is that we’ll now be able to read Silent Bob’s thoughts on Rangers fans without filters, constraints or concerns for good taste. Which could rank up there with the “Good Will Hunting 2” parody in “Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back” for comedic genius.
GO DEVILS!!!!

- The great and personable poker player DANIEL NEGREANU made a reference to Jay and Silent Bob strike back on his blog at cardplayer.com recently:
“I got home, chipped for about 10 minutes, did a three song Rockband duel against Patty who dropped off Mushu for me, and then I did my workout that I was supposed to do in the morning. Tonight I’ll probably watch some TV and talk some trash with the kids in the forums. I’m really having fun with the smack talk! It reminds me of that scene in Jay and Silent Bob where they read all the bad things people say about their movies online. They freak out, and in the end of the movie, they go door to door and beat the crap out of every 14 year old who was smack talking them. Classic scene.”
Reading that’s sure got the hold’em itch going…it’s a sickness!
- Stan Lee’s “Mallrats” gig appears among Entertainment Weekly’s “Perfect Casting: 23 Stars as Themselves”:
Comic book legends may be nerds, but it doesn’t mean they don’t get lucky in the romance department — Lee cited his “running tally” with rocker Mick Jagger while imparting some romantic advice to Brodie (Jason Lee) in Kevin Smith’s sophomore film. (Lee, apparently, was in the lead).
- Small correction – “Zack and Miri Make a Porno” hits Polish theaters in JUNE on the 26th, not April as we’d previously reported. The Polish in me made me do it.
- Here’s a couple snaps of Mewes from his recent appearance at the “Full Moon Horror & Tattoo Festival” over the weekend to wind up the ‘bites. Catch Jay when he comes to your area, we hear the dude’s great with the fans. And hey, that does it for this update. We’ll see ya soon. See News Askew happening on the web or elsewhere?
