: ...and I had to mention that NY Times piece. A big shout-out goes to Rick Lyman for such great (and substantial) killer ink for a movie that's very dear to my heart.
: You can read it online, as linked by boyd (I'd call him Boyd) below, or over at NewsAskew. But if you're so inclined, I'd urge you to pick up a copy of the actual paper - as it features a HUGE photo of yours truly, taking up half the front page of the Arts section. I was blown away.
: A few unrelated notes...
: For the curious, 'Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back' received an 'R' rating.
: If you're in the San Diego area, I'll be on the CBS station's nightly news at four or five this evening (I also did two morning shows, but you've already missed those).
: And I respectfully disagree with Jon Favreau, in regards to our casting of the same actors repeatedly in all the films we've done. Not only has it been essential (as some folks HAVE to play the characters they've played in the previous flicks, since we've often brought back the same characters), but if a actor or actress is good, then why not work with them again? And again? And again?
: Plus, it's just more fun.
: Plus, it's one of the attributes to the films we've made that makes them stand out.
: Plus, the audience (Mister Favreau excepted) loves it.
: Plus, I love it.
: I can go on, but you get the point.
: But if that's his take on it, it's cool. I'm not offended, so please don't rush at the man's cyber-throat in an effort to avenge some imagined wrong.
: That being said, I suspect I'll be waiting until video to check out 'Made' now.
: Because, you know, fuck him and the horse he rode in on.
: Just kidding.
: About the fuck him part; not about skipping 'Made'.
