My apologies for the lack of updates, but we’ve been pretty fucking busy. Week 3 is wrapped, and tomorrow, we start our second to last week on the show. Both cast and crew continue to dazzle. I continue to dream about getting more sleep, as I spend all day on set, then lock myself in the editing room ’til usually two or three in the morning. I may be sleepy, but I’ve cut every frame of film we’ve shot already, resulting in one hour of the movie completely assembled. The simultaneous-to-shooting editorial has been tremendously helpful in allowing us to go back to scenes and shoot any missing pieces I didn’t know we’d need, or allow me to revisit scenes I feel need a bit more (or less) detail. If you’re ever gonna make a flick, cut it (yourself) while you’re shooting, kids; you won’t regret it.
We went an extra day last week, shooting on Saturday to get Lee on his “Earl”-free day. The Randal/Lance showdown is a real highlight of the flick, but the award for scene-of-the-week goes to Mewes. When you see the film, you’ll know what I mean.
In lieu of new Boring-Ass Life entries, I submit, for your approval, a whole new slew of pics from the set of “Clerks 2″, courtesy of our ace stills man, Darren Michaels. Enjoy!

Gaffer Jeremy made a thousand dollar bet with Jeff’s stand-in, DK, about whether or not he could eat this entire enlarged bearclaw in twenty minutes. He did it in a little over ten.
The heavy-lifters upon whose firm shoulders our whole endeavor rests…
