  • Many shows for Jay & Silent Bob Get Old have quietly been placed on sale — You can now purchase your tix for shows as far out as May 2011. Visit the official site for all dates and shows. Don’t miss a rare chance to catch Smith and Mewes onstage together. At presstime, 8 dates in Spring 2011 are available, more could be added in the future. And don’t forget, Kevin does the solo tour with dates in December and April, with more on the way.
  • “Chasing Amy” is cited in this article on “The Evolution of the Hollywood Gay Joke in Three Easy Stages”:

      “…And for all of the homophobic barbs that Jason Lee’s character unleashes upon the queer folks in Smith’s Chasing Amy, the movie is constantly telling us that it’s Lee’s character who’s got the issues and not his supposed targets. (The fact that Lee’s character is revealed to be gay himself at the end of Jay and Silent Bob Strikes Back brings the whole point home.”

  • And finally, here’s a fun one today — Video game developer Artificial Mind & Movement (A2M for short) changed their name to “Behaviour”, and the company’s CEO says “Clerks II” was to blame.

      “Behaviour CEO Remi Racine tells Eurogamer that initially, the team was unaware of any other meanings for the studio name, until the “issue became known to us five years ago. It was mentioned in a movie and it started to grow from 2005/2006.”

    The story links directly to a YouTube video from none other than “Clerks II”.
