Hey guys, Thought I'd quickly share the dirt, do my part of scooping the monkey. I'm not sure how much of this stuff you guys already know, but it may answer a few burning questions you guys have been having... Use your best discretion in printing whatever I give ya...

Basically, the brief plot synopsis given to us was this: "Bluntman and Chronic" - the movie is to be made, starring James Van der Beek as Jay and Jason Biggs as Silent Bob. (You've got to see the posters for this, absolutely hysterical!) Meanwhile, the real Jay and Silent Bob find out on the internet that people are dissing them, calling them "chumps"... so they get pissed off, and go to Hollywood to attempt to destroy the movie - hence their revenge.

The shoot today consisted of two scenes. One was inside a small concert hall where Morris Day and the Time were performing (In case you didn't know, Morris was Prince's uh, nemisis in Purple Rain), and Jay and Silent Bob are in attendance, along with Will Ferrall who plays an FBI agent, and Shannon Elizabeth who is a captured convict, (her prison uniform number is 3737), also next to them was an orangutan. Jay and Silent Bob jump on the stage to join them, this is the end scene of the movie.

The other scene was in front of the world premiere of Bluntman and Chronic, and all the familiar faces are leaving in pairs discussing the film - Dante and Randall, Will Ferrall and Shannon Elizabeth , Steve-Dave and Walt, Trish (the dish) Jones, and Alyssa Jones (Yes, Joey Lauren Adams reprises this role), and Banky and Hooper. In front of the movie theatre are posters for fictional movies (Good Will Hunting 2 - "How do you like THEM apples?", Snootchies, Bussing (In Clerks font), See if you can see... THE SAILBOAT...and the hysterical Bluntman and Chronic poster of Van der Beek and Biggs)

I got a chance to share a couple laughs with Jay, nodded and said hi to Kev (He was always busy - surprise - but he took time out to sign autographs for fans.), got to talking to one of the members of "The Time", Jerome the percussionist, was very cool... and was thrilled to spent about 10 minutes just talking to Brian O'Halloran - he was very cool, and we just shot the shit about everything. Aparently, this was his only scene, he is to go back to Red Bank and shoot Quick Stop, which he described as a "Fucking freezer". Brian was most friendly, what a super guy. Saw Jason Lee, but he was unapproachable, pretty much, and he got the most applause when he jumped on the stage to say hello to the crowd. Jason was dressed as Banky, and looked perfect. Saw Randall during rehearsal for his scene, but couldn't talk to him. Also saw Joey as we were leaving, and she looked gorgeous as ever. Caught a glimpse of Hooper but we were too far away to say anything to him.

Surprise Celeb spotting, Ali Larter (The Whipped Cream Bikini chick from Varsity Blues), we spotted her talking to Jay as we were walking in. Can't make any speculation as to whether she is in the film or not... BUT, upstairs in the balcony area of the theatre was an interview set up, We saw her being interviewed along with Jason Lee, Mewes, Kev, etc... so we can only continue to speculate...
