: There is an article in todays Washington Post about Summer Movies. Here is the blurb that they put in about JASBSB:
: "JAY AND SILENT BOB STRIKE BACK" (Dimension)
: Principal Cast: Kevin Smith, Jason Mewes, Jason Lee, Judd Nelson, Will Ferrell and Jason Biggs.
: Behind the Camera: Kevin Smith, director of "Clerks" and "Chasing Amy."
: The Skinny: Jay (Mewes) and Silent Bob (Smith), the heroes of "Clerks" and other Smith projects, travel to Hollywood to get even with the unscrupulous people who are making a movie of the comic "Bluntman and Chronic." The comic is based on these slacker pals' lives, and they want a cut of the action. The ensemble movie includes walk-ons for many young celebs, including Joey Lauren Adams, Shannen Doherty, Ben Affleck and Jason Biggs.
: Points of Interest: You should know that Jay's full name is Jay Phat Buds. And this movie completes a New Jersey trilogy.
:
: The other film that was mentioned is "Vulgar"
: "VULGAR" (Lions Gate)
: Principal Cast: Brian O'Halloran, Bryan Johnson, Ethan Suplee, Jerry Lewkowitz.
: Behind the Camera: Johnson, who also wrote the script.
: The Skinny: This is about the rise of a clown named Will "Flappy" Carlson (O'Halloran) from a below-average entertainer with little money to a larger-than-life media figure. But fame in this case is attended by tragedy.
: Points of Interest: This is a major Kevin Smith party of a movie, with various actors from his films in the cast. Smith himself has a small part in the movie. Johnson is known to fans of Smith films as Steve-Dave Pulasti, the Comic Store Guy. As for O'Halloran, who was the famous Dante Hicks in "Clerks," he always plays a character (in Kevin Smith movies) whose last name is Hicks.
: Thought you all would like to see this. Here is the link if you want to read the full article as well.
