- This report comes in from a daytime TV viewer:
Jason Lee got a brief but positive mention today on the Rosie O’Donnell show. She had Tom Cruise on, and she mentioned that “the guy†in the movie (Vanilla Sky) was great. Cruise then said it was Jason Lee, but when asked what else he’s been in, he only mentioned Almost Famous, and the fact that he used to be a pro skater. No mention of Kevin’s movies at all.
The Lansing State Journal’s review of the film also has the best things to say about Lee’s performance. Open Your Eyes was good, so Vanilla Sky is definitely worth your time this weekend (before the incredibly cool Lord of the Rings hits next week).

- Every year, KROQ Radio in Los Angeles puts out an annual X-mas album and this year, track 13 is called “Silent Bob’s Christmas Memory.†Of course, he says nothing, but DJs Kevin & Bean thank Smith and Smith wishes them a merry Christmas. You can listen to the track HERE. If you’re in the LA area, you can pick up the whole CD for just 5 bucks.
- And finally today, will Mewes be vising the Creek sometime soon? This answer comes from a question posed at the official Dawson’s Creek website:
BRODIE BRUCE: Hey there Jason just a quick question is the character “Oliver Chirchick†based on Kevin Smith? I know JVDB worked with him on Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back and you mentioned “Skee-Ball†on the desktops which is a theme throughout Kevin’s movies… am I completely off track here?
JASON: Hello Brodie Bruce. Although lots of us here are Kevin Smith fans, the character of Oliver Chirchick is not based upon him at all. If anything, he is based on our own resident imp, Jon Kasdan. The skee-ball reference is purely coincidental. But for all you other Kevin Smith fans, I have heard rumors recently of a possible appearance by Jason Mewes (Jay) on the Creek. I’ll keep you posted.
