: : So Monday was Chris Rock day on the set. Yes - the busiest comedian/comic actor in town found some time to improve our flick, and was nothing short of brilliant. He turned in a very hysterical performance, and in his interview for the documentary, aptly described Silent Bob (or rather, how I "act" the part of Silent Bob) as "the white Buckwheat". Too funny.
: : Also, as you've already read, Lee finished up his Banky work, and it was yet another wonderful piece of Jason Lee genius he was kind enough to lend us. Next up (in two weeks), the return of the once and future King, Brodie.
: : Today, however, was the delightful surprise of Sean William Scott (he of 'American Pie' and 'Dude, Where's My Car' fame). Good Lord, I can't relate just how funny this gent was. Like Will and Rock, he had me in tears at one point (very tough to accomplish without physically hurting me). He took what was a simple part on the page and crafted a very memorable character that blows Jay and I off the screen in his scene. Sean came to play, folks, and walked away owning 'Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back' during his cameo.
: : Tomorrow marks Ali's last day (and Heavens, she'll be missed). And Friday we shoot perhaps the coolest cameo of all: a fictional vigilante that's very close to my heart.
: : Not much longer to go before we reach New Jersey and the end of this very long sojourn through the View Askewniverse.
: : I'd like to take a moment to thank all involved, cast and crew alike, for making this closing chapter as pleasant and painless as possible.
: : Especially the Transpo guys. Derek and Brian and their team of drivers are just about the sweetest people alive. Every time I leave the set at night, I've got a full tank of gas - just one of the unnecessary but incredibly thoughtful gestures the Transpo folks have stolen my heart with. They're the un-sung heroes of every movie: the cats without whom nothing happens. I salute them all - especially the aforementioned pair of gentlemen who were also goodly enough to turn in two fine performances in the film along with their daily driving duties.
: : Shit like that just made the making of this movie such a heartwarming family affair.
: : By the by: we're hearing that the 'Entertainment Tonight' piece should be running this week. Keep an eye out for it.
: : Man, I can't wait to share this flick with you guys.
