: : So I'm almost out of my twenty days in hell period of coast-jumping, : : country-swapping, Oscar-watching, and college-gigging. : : Two weeks back, me and my "Tonight Show" cohorts were in sunny : : Tampa shooting the next "Roadside Attractions" gig, the first segment : : of which is due to air on April 4th. We shot so much stuff, that another : : Florida piece will air in May. This time out, we went to the GatorLand : : zoo (where I wrestled an alligator), Weeki-Wachi (where we got jiggy : : with mermaids), Cypress Gardens (for the weirdest water-skiing : : show that doesn't feature nudity in existence), the ShowTown Bar and : : Grill (the winter hang-out for circus folk), and other nutty places. I : : think the GatorLand piece may wind up being my favorite, in as much : : as we shot some very, very bizarre stuff. Again, look for it all on April : : 4th, when I'll be on the show to introduce the stuff. : : But on April 3rd, I'll be macking in my trailer on a movie set, and for : : once it won't me one of my flicks (which means I'll probably have a : : nice trailer for a change). Mark Steven Johnson was goodly enough : : to offer a brother a cameo in the "Daredevil" movie. Don't want to give : : away any spoilers about it, but suffice it to say I don't play either DD, : : Bullseye, Elektra, or the King Pin (though, size-wise, I thought I was a : : shoe-in for that role). Wish me luck in not fucking up the scene or : : getting cut in the editing room, and many thanks to Mark for his kind : : words regarding me and Daredevil, and his even kinder offer to : : potentially ruin his picture with my ham-handed theatrics. : : All last week, I was up in Toronto shooting four commercials: two for : : Panasonic and two for Hasbro. We had a great crew (I mean, how : : couldn't we? they're Canadians) and the agency folks and clients : : were a dream to work for and with (i.e. - nobody said "You're fucking it : : all up, dickhead."). : : The Panasonic spots are, in the words of Tracy Morgan's Brian : : Fellows "Wee-yad." Many thanks to E-Man himself, Ethan, for the : : tremendous work. : : In the Hasbro spots, we've got an instant classic (featuring a kid and : : a cookie), and a spot that's more akin to the stuff I've kind of known for : : (conversations about "Star Wars"). But the Hasbro folks were true : : champs, as they gave me a fresh-off-the-press "Episode Two" : : poster, as well as a boatload of brand-spankin' new, : : not-even-on-the-market-yet "Clone" toys. Suh-WEEEEEEET! : : Watched the Oscars. Glad to see Howard (Shore, not Ron) take : : home the gold. Also nice to see Denzel awarded, as his : : performance in "Training Day" was electric. Thought the Stiller/Owen : : Wilson filmed bit felt a little bit like Ben and Matt's scene in "Jay and : : Bob" - but that's probably because I'm incredibly egocentric. : : Tonight, I've got Rhode Island, and Thursday, I'll be at Clark. Hope to : : see some of you there. At Clark, we're doing some pick-ups for the : : "Evening With..." DVD of stories I never got to tell on the original leg of : : the college tour. Suffice it to say that anyone at Clark who asks about : : the "Superman" debacle or Affleck in "Jersey Girl" will definitely get on : : the DVD. : : Speaking of the DVD - I've seen the a three hour cut of it, and was : : really, really blown away. Mind you, I've heard these stories a zillion : : times, but in watching the show, I was incredibly entertained by them : : - no easy feat, as I'm the guy on camera, and I hate hearing myself : : talk. Kudos to JM Kenny and his editor, as they've turned hours of : : footage of a guy talking into something worth watching. There's so : : much material, Col/Tristar is talking about releasing TWO DVD's, : : instead of just one. Should be cool. : : On the subject of cool: Terry Dodson's art for the "Spider-Man/Black : : Cat" mini-series in mind-bendingly good. Fuck, that man can draw. : : Look for it in June. : : Continued thanks for making the "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back" : : such a hot-seller and renter. I owe you people my life. All this : : post-theatrical cash makes our little masturbatory farewell flick very, : : very profitable for Dimension. : : That's all for now. Gotta get on the road. I'll check in after the shows. : : *************************** : : **************************** : : ***************************** : : ******************************
