Jason just got a job as a Private Investigator.

Yes, Jason Freaky, ex-YRUU extraordinare, now stock broker, ... is also a Private Investigator.

In 3 months he'll have a card that has his picture on it next to "Private Investigator."

He's reading the manual to me over the phone now.

How crazy is that?

What to wear on surveillance:

1) always dress comfortable

2) don't dress loud (dark clothing is preferred)

3) wear clothes that fit the weather

4) bring a different shirt (in case you get made)

5) have a hat with you (for change in look)

6) sunglasses

7) comfortable shoes

8) depending on your case, you may need a nice set of
clothes with you

He called his mom after he got the job, "Mom, I got a new job."

"Really, what are you doing?"

"I'm a private investigator."

"What are you really doing?"

"I'm a private investigator. Remember how I was going to be a night stocker at H.E.B.? Now I'm just going to be a night stalker."

She cracked up laughin', "no, what are you really doing?"

Molly, Will and I are at the sneak preiew of Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back!! The crazy thing is that we were driving and we got to Beltway 8. How did we miss Dunvale??? Weird. We turned around and went down Westheimer and found it. Fortunately we were not too much later.

When Erika called today to talk to her mom, she asked also to talk with me. Karla transferred her over, and was all, 'Rob, it's Erika for you.'

Her voice reminded me of Hal, the computer in 2001. (I still haven't seen that movie,) I was reminded of the famous line, 'I'm sorry Dave, I can't do that.'

I was impelled to answer in a similar voice, but I had to think quickly for something that would make sense. I got it:

"Hallo, Clarise."

"Dude! I've got goosebumps now! Why did you do that? Auugghh."

Wow. I can imagine it would be disconcering.

This is Molly interjecting secretly while Rob pees.

I hope she doesn't have nightmares about calling me at work. ;-)

Ah. The show sorta begins. A guy up front is all, "HI, my name is ___ with Dimension Films! Welcome to the sneak preview of Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back!"

(Cheering)

"Okay, who stars as Silent Bob?"

KEVIN SMITH!

"Who directed the film?"

KEVIN SMITH!

"Who wrote the film?"

KEVIN SMITH!

"Kevin Smith rules, right??"

(cheering)

"How many of you have seen Clerks?"

(show of hands)

"How many of you have seen Mall Rats?"

(show of hands)

"How many of you have seen Chasing Amy?"

(show of hands) and "unfortunately," came the remark from a girl in the front row.

"Haha. Yeah, everyone's a critic. ... In a few years, you'll actually know what some of those words mean."

(cheering..)

"The price of the free ticket is to tell all your friends that Kevin Smith is back and it's a kick ass movie!"

7:33 pm

He left, but the movie didn't start.

The girls next to us have been here for 2 hours, playing Magic the whole time. They just scooted over to give up the seat in between them on which they were playing.

so we got to scoot one seat closer to the center.

The guy talked... The movie should go on now!!

7:34 pm

The music just came back on.

ah they were waiting for him to get get back with his snack.

Instantly into the movie. No trailers.

Next entry you must not read unless you want me to give away the movie to you.

Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back was great!!!

If you haven't seen Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, and don't want any hints or commentary, do not read this entry!!

If you liked their other films, you'll love this one! If you haven't seen it, and don't want any hints or commentary, do not read this entry!!

Last chance. Do not read this if you wish to view the movie in its pure form.

So the movie was great. Super special thanks to Molly for getting tickets, and to both Molly and Will for picking me up for the screening. Thanks to Jeff, who we think gave the tickets to Molly.

Truth is, I didn't totally like Clerks, and I haven't seen Chasing Amy. But I really liked Mall Rats and I loved loved loved Dogma.

In the end credits, I noticed Alanis Morrisette who apparently appeared in the movie, and I was all, "where???" and then the closing was so perfect. Alanis as God to close the movie was cute, classy, and cool. Cooler than alliteration.

The alliteration at the Mirimax entrance.. something with a bunch of T's was funny, but I didn't write it down.

I loved the Scooby Doo sequence. "How come when we hitchhike, it's like we're stuck in a fuckin' cartoon???" and then presto - there's the Mystery Machine. And I recognized it too, but as the camera stayed looking at it, it looked less and less like the MM. Did you notice that? Weird.

Funny how they were all cursing. And smoking up dancing half naked, at least in Jay's dream. Did you catch what Scooby said? The audience was laughing too loudly for me to catch it.

Um, what else? Scene that reminded me of Harrison Ford in that movie where he's running from the bus crash where he had been a prisoner, but he got out. What was that? Oh The Fugitive. Anyway, in the tunnel that poured out over the Hoover Dam reminded me of that movie. I don't think that guy would have survived, but I enjoyed being able to see so clearly that the footage was shot of a guy running on a treadmill or something and losing his hat. Nice. We can use that in our movie.

All the references to all the other movies in the world!! As soon as they had Suzanne in the basket of the bike, I knew it would be ET. That was hilarious!!!! What a brilliant plot connection to get them into the set of their arch nemesis of the week.

"Hey, with all the money, you can fly around the country and kick their asses..." That wasn't the exact quote, but as *soon* as he said it, I thought "sequel!!" but they showed it!! hahahaha!! Excellent!

And near the very beginning, they had a Unitarian reference!!! Whoo Hoo!!

And I was pleased to immediately recognize the song by Run DMC!! I recognized the artist, not the song, which I had never previously heard.

During the movie, I wrote a lot of quotes:

"What the hell is the Internet?"

"Who would pay to see that?"

"Who the hell heard of a ticket for a bus? Remember when we used to ride that shit to school every day for free?"

"We're stuck in a fuckin' cartoon."

"Love, Jay and Silent Bob"

"Jay and Justice sittin' in a tree f-u-c-k-i-n-g"

"Dude, I think I just filled a cup."

"Brent, tells these sillies that girls don't fart."

"I'm down with this because I love animals."

"Look, fuck that fat fuck!"

Two devils on his shoulders hahah
"We bitch slapped that mother fucker and sent him packin'. Now it's smooth sailin'"

"Animal tranquilizer! this shit fucks you up like good shit!"

"What the fuck, the little stoner was right!"

"Yeah I know it's sad but what the fuck are we supposed to do about it?"

song: "justice is dead or so jay thinks."

"die you super monkey fuck! [auug!!]"

"the only thing I do recognize is a political fiasco that I am about to avoid by letting these peple go."

"fuck beans, that was them wasn't it?"

"flee fat ass flee!"

"just like winnie the pooh."

"man who the fuck just steals monkey."

"That is one fine boy you are raising."

"what? it's not like cheatin', justice blew up."

"you dudes gettin medical up in jersey?"

"miramax counts for 75 percent of my business out here!"

"where we takin it from gus?"
"I'm busy!! [counting money]"

"there's a script?"
"you wouldn't last a day on the creek."

"how do you know he doesn't smoke monkey pole?"

"yea, in prison he'll be the pie."

"No, you the man and that's the problem."

"damn this must have sent them back a couple hundred bucks."

"I was going to call it NWP."

"man this movie is going to make house party look like house party 2!"

"I thought you blew up, boobo kitty fuck."

"crazy crackers with guns! time for me to get my black ass out of here."

"only on the outside."

"that's what the internet is for: slandering others anonymously."

"fuck you, you already said 1/2 you can't take it back."

- - - -

That's all the quotes I wrote.

As the movie turned into credits, some people left. A guy yelled from the audience, "fuckin' sit down and pay your respects!!"

Stay for the credits. They are funny and the first song is crude and funny.

Excellent excellent Kevin Smith movie. I hope he makes a mint.
