I just want to wish Kevin Smith luck and that I can't wait to see "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back", however can I ask when it will be released in the UK? (I know its August the 10th in America) Also, how did Kevin Smith meet Ben Affleck?

: Mewes and I finished our on-camera work as Jay and Silent Bob today (ironically enough, we wrapped the movie with one of the first scenes in the
: flick). Jay did a stellar job and finished up strong (and bare ass). Good stuff all around.
: Shooting in Leonardo again was a trip. Mosier and I realized that exactly eight years ago (to the day, even), we were shooting 'Clerks' there. Sad,
: isn't it? We haven't really made much progress (although I've progressed a few sizes in jeans).
: But it was a poignant couple of days. As always, the folks of Leonardo were gracious and sweet. Saw many of them going into and out of the store
: who I'd waited on back in the register-jockeying days. This affored us an unscheduled but amusing cameo in the way of Thomas, the guy who
: played the Roofer with whom Dante and Randal have the Death Star convo in 'Clerks'. He was stopping in to get milk, and wound up reprising his
: role (though with no dialogue). In a movie full of appearances from incredibly famous celebrities, his walk-on may be my fave - due to the subtle but
: full-circle nature of the cameo.
: Wrapped Lee out the other day, and was taken for another trip down memory lane by his Brodie performance. As usual, Lee was phenomenal.
: Wait 'til you see/hear Brodie's latest quirk ("And with that, we cue the music...").
: One more day (a night, actually) of shooting, and then the whole enchilada's wrapped as well. Fittingly, the scene features Dante and Randal. We get
: to end the cinematic tales of the Askewniverse with the two cats we started telling said tales with in the first place. Something nice about that.
