  • Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back has received a nomination for “Trashiest Trailer” according to Film Threat magazine. The Golden Trailer Awards event takes place on Thursday, March 14th at 8:00 p.m. at The El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood, California, and has quite a cool list of celebrity judges.

  • Jay & Bob’s DVD (and the recent piracy of the flick) pops up in a very appropriate edition of Real Life Comics today. Check it out above, on their site, or in their archives.
  • In addition to this comic, a group of OTHER online comic strip artists have decided to run tribute strips to Jay & Bob today, in celebration of the DVD release. Check out all the details HERE. They’ve got links to all the comics there. A great tribute, indeed. Thanks to all the artists who participated.
  • The DVD Cyber Center have posted their quite positive review of the Jay & Bob DVD.
  • A fan was quick to point out that on the Jay & Bob DVD, Jason Lee’s filmography in the biography section includes a credit as Irwin “Fletch” Fletcher in Fletch Won, scheduled for 2003. Cool stuff.
  • Kevin makes another appearance on Comedy Central’s “Heroes of Black Comedy” Series. This time, the Episode is on Hip-Hop Comics. He has three clips; all towards the beginning of the show. It re-airs at 8am/7C on Saturday, March 2nd.
  • FYI: Shipping this week to comic stories: Green Arrow #12, a new Bluntman & Chronic poster, and a second Green Arrow T-Shirt. Check out the Stash website, our archives, or your local comic shop for more information on these items.
  • Here’s a press release published today on the Tonight Show appearance tomorrow, just to continue with the anticipation:
NBC’S ‘THE TONIGHT SHOW WITH JAY LENO’ DEBUTS ITS FIRST SHORT FILM PRODUCED BY KEVIN SMITH

To Be Telecast Wednesday, February 27, 2002 (11:35 p.m.-12:35 a.m. ET) NBC’s ‘The Tonight Show with Jay Leno’ will air its first commissioned short film on Wednesday, February 27 with the broadcast of ‘The Flying Car,’ a six minute short created by filmmaker Kevin Smith (’Chasing Amy’). The film marks the first time a theatrical short has aired on ‘The Tonight Show.’ The comedic short stars Brian O’Halloran and Jeff Anderson, who will reprise their roles from Smith’s breakthrough comedy ‘Clerks.’

Smith, whose credits include, writer, producer and director of ‘Dogma,’ has made two recent appearances on ‘The Tonight Show’ to present his comedic travelogue pieces entitled ‘Roadside Attractions with Kevin Smith,’ which provide tongue-in-cheek looks at the public oddities that dot the American landscape. This summer, Smith intends to shoot his next feature, the Miramax Films produced ‘Jersey Girl.’

Model Heidi Klum and music by Nora Jones will also appear as guests on February 27.

‘The Tonight Show with Jay Leno’ is from Big Dog Productions in association with NBC Studios. Debbie Vickers is the executive producer for ‘The Tonight Show.’ Gary Considine is the executive producer for NBC Studios.

  • The “Advice From Strangers” column over at the Daily Probe put Jay & Bob in their “guest spotlight” this week.
  • Finally today, those of you who have been coming to the site might rememeber a while back that we had a raffle and gave away a t-shirt that was worn by Jay Mewes himself in Mallrats as the grand prize. Well, the dude who won that puppy has come under some financial need, and thus, appears to be SELLING it to the highest bidder over at eBay. This is a true collector’s item, and something you might want to look into, a second chance to own it. Please keep in mind that this is not a News Askew or View Askew endorsed auction, as with all things on ebay bid at your own risk. Still, we thought we’d point you to it. See ya next time.
