Wow, I haven't been this simultaneously excited and saddened since the end
of the "increasingly inaccurate" Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
"trilogy". Of course the end of that just made me angry...
In any case, congrats Kevin and the rest of the View Askew cast/crew. And
thanks for creating a world so much like ours, and yet, so much funnier.
(With the exception of the boy who asked me if his father gerbil could
nurse his baby gerbils at the pet store I work at one day. It was a Clerks
moment.)

: 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. Somet
