Waching daily Jan 3 2019

They aren't as big as they were in their '90s heyday, but these lovable losers are still

together, and with more Jay and Silent Bob projects on the way, here's a look into the

origins and history of the degenerate duo.

Director Kevin Smith famously self-financed Clerks, which had a paltry $27,000 budget.

That's not a lot of money for a movie, but it is a lot for one guy to raise and then

spend on a movie that could've flopped hard.

Smith cobbled the money together by selling off his extensive collection of comic books,

pilfering from his college fund, and then maxing out a bunch of credit cards.

"Screw you!"

"Hey, you're not allowed to rent here anymore."

"YEEEEAHH!!!"

As he tells it in Stephen Lowenstein's 2002 interview collection My First Movie, the rest

came from an insurance settlement for a destroyed car that he and Jay himself, actor Jason Mewes,shared.

Mewes warned Smith that the area where the car was parked one day was going to flood

and that they should move the car.

Smith said he didn't want to, and the rest is cinematic history!

"Y'know, there's a million fine-looking women in the world, dude.

But they don't all bring you lasagna at work.

Most of 'em just cheat on you."

Smith made Clerks himself, so he was free to cast anybody he wanted, like Mewes, his

best friend, as Jay.

But studio Gramercy Pictures made the quasi-sequel Mallrats, and studio executives were adamantly

opposed to letting Mewes play Jay again.

Instead, they wanted the more experienced and bankable Seth Green to step into the role.

Smith convinced studio executives that Mewes was right for the role, which, fun fact, was

inspired by Mewes himself, but the studio still kept Green on call for the duration

of the shoot as an understudy.

To add insult to injury, the studio also refused to pay for Mewes to travel to the set in Minnesota

or for his hotel room during the shoot.

Studio executives even showed up to the first day of filming, fully prepared to fire Mewes

if they didn't think he was good enough.

Smith made Mewes aware of the situation, prompting him to give as good a performance as he could,

and the suits finally approved.

"Come, son of Jor-El.

Kneel before Zod!

Snootchy bootchies!"

After Gramercy's reluctance to cast Mewes, he didn't want to take any chances.

He showed up to the set of one of Smith's next movies, the epic religious comedy Dogma,

prepared.

Extremely prepared.

Not only did he memorize all of his own lines before shooting began, but he'd also learned

everybody else's.

Yep, he'd memorized the entire script.

This was because Smith met with Mewes before rehearsals and told him that he needed to

do his best work, because not only was Dogma the biggest production they'd ever embarked

on, but they had "real actors in the movie" this time.

Specifically, the legendary Alan Rickman had been cast in the movie as the angel Metatron.

Mewes showed up and gave his performance everything he had because he didn't want to, quote, "piss

off that Rickman dude."

Mewes first became addicted to heroin around 1995, and it was Smith who urged Mewes into

rehab.

But after a series of relapses during Dogma, and after becoming addicted to OxyContin,

Mewes was eventually arrested for heroin possession and sentenced to drug counseling and community

service.

"Whenever we weren't, like, literally shooting, and they'd be like 'Hey, we've got 20 minutes

while we set up these lights,' I would rush to my trailer, and I'd be doing drugs in the

trailer."

In an attempt to get him clean once and for all, Smith invited Mewes to live with him

and his family in California after the filming of Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.

Still struggling with drugs, Mewes stole Smith's bank card, withdrew cash, and used it to buy

stuff.

Undeterred, Smith continued to check Mewes into a series of rehab clinics, though none

of his stays lasted long.

Mewes says he hit rock bottom on Christmas Day 2003, when he woke up on a couch that

was on fire, which he'd started after getting high and falling asleep near a candle.

Mewes returned to New Jersey and attended court-mandated drug rehab.

As of 2017, he was seven years sober.

Jay and Silent Bob show up just about everywhere, even in a Canadian teen drama.

In 2004, Smith and Mewes, and their fictional counterparts, showed up in three episodes

of Degrassi: The Next Generation.

In their arc, Smith and Mewes played themselves, heading up north to Degrassi High School to

film a fictional movie called Jay and Silent Bob Go Canadian, Eh!

While in Canada, they also get into the educational spirit of Degrassi and work hard to get their

diplomas thanks to the help of a principal portrayed by one-time collaborator Alanis

Morissette.

She just so happened to play God in Smith's Dogma!

See?

Everything's connected.

"You understand a word this hoser's saying, Silent Bob?

How the hell did she get to be principal when she don't even speak good-er English like

us Americans?"

Probably the most famous Degrassi "graduate" is actor and musician Drake.

In 2018, he paid homage to his past, with the video for "I'm Upset" taking place at

a Degrassi High reunion.

Even Jay and Silent Bob make a brief cameo.

Jay and Silent Bob, or rather Kevin Smith and Jason Mewes, are not immune to Hollywood's

current obsession with remakes, reboots, and revivals.

They are, however, not lazy enough to just rehash the old hits without doing something

new, or at least poke fun at the whole endeavor.

In August 2017, Smith tweeted that he and Mewes were about to shoot another entry in

the "View Askewniverse" of Smith's films, a direct "follow-up flick" to 2001's Jay and and Silent Bob Strike Back called Jay and Silent Bob Reboot.

At a Q&A, Smith explained:

Smith hopes to have the film ready for release sometime in 2019.

10 Things You Never Knew About the Golden Globe Awards - 247 news - Duration: 4:20.

Are you emotionally prepared for awards season?

Well, it's officially upon us, with the 76th Annual Golden Globe Awards airing on Sunday, Jan. 6, at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT on NBC.

In anticipation of the show, hosted this year by Sandra Oh and Andy Samberg, we're taking a look at some of the most interesting pieces of Globes trivia. Study this list carefully so you can sound extra-interesting at your viewing party.

1. The biggest Globes shutouts of all time were Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (1967), Foul Play (1978) and The Godfather, Part III (1991). All three films received seven nominations, but zero Globes.

2. Until La La Land dominated with seven wins in 2017, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975) was the only film to win Globes in all five major categories (best motion picture, actor, actress, director and screenplay). La La Land earned those plus best original song and best original score.

3. The actor with the most individual nominations of all time? Meryl Streep, with 31.

4. The youngest Globes winner ever is Ricky Schroder, who was 9 years old when he won the Globe for best new star of the year in the 1980 film The Champ.

5. Four stars have won an impressive two acting awards in a single year: Kate Winslet in 2009 (best actress – drama for Revolutionary Road and best supporting actress for The Reader); Helen Mirren in 2007 (best actress – drama for The Queen and best actress in a miniseries or television movie for Elizabeth I); Joan Plowright in 1993 (best supporting actress for Enchanted April and best supporting actress in a miniseries or television movie for Stalin) and Sigourney Weaver in 1989 (best actress – drama for Gorillas in the Mist: The Story of Dian Fossey and best supporting actress for Working Girl).

6. Not only did Ryan Reynolds earn his first Golden Globe nomination in 2017 for his performance in Deadpool, but the 2016 film itself became the first live-action superhero movie to be nominated in a best motion picture category.

7. Between the 1995 show (with hosts John Larroquette and Janine Turner) and the 2010 show (with host Ricky Gervais), the Globes had no host at all.

8. The stars who hold the record of most Globes (including honorary awards)? Meryl Streep and Barbra Streisand, who are tied with nine each.

9. There has only been one three-way tie in the history of the Globes, and that was between Jodie Foster (The Accused), Shirley MacLaine (Madame Sousatzka) and Sigourney Weaver (Gorillas in the Mist) for best actress in 1989.

10. At age 87, Ennio Morricone became the oldest Golden Globe Award winner, nabbing best original score for 2015's The Hateful Eight.

How To Make Facebook Advertising Work Effectively - Duration: 5:56.

How to make Facebook Advertising work effectively, my name is Traci Reuter, I'm the CEO and founder of Divine Social

We are a Facebook and Instagram advertising agency

And I'm also a contributing author to this book right here the Ultimate Guide to Facebook Ads

I wrote three chapters 26, 27, and 30. So how to use Facebook advertising effectively

I get asked that question all the time and as

An agency that has generated over a million leads for our clients in just the last year alone

it's something we really

focus and study on so there's three key things that are really important for you to

Incorporate into your plan into your strategy to make Facebook advertising work effectively for your business

Number one, it's your message.

Now a lot of times people focus on all of the little levers the ins and outs and the details of how Facebook advertising

Works, but the truth is is it comes down to good old-fashioned copywriting now the way you write copy for?

Your website or for an email or for sales letters very different than how you write social copy

But that's a subject for another video but it really is important that you get your messaging down. You have to understand

Who are you talking to again? How do you get into their head?

How do you tell stories properly so that you can get them to move?

They can take action. How do you get them to move from a complete stranger to just a complete brand advocate?

So messaging is number one and it's incredibly incredibly important and we spend actually as a team as an agency

We spend a lot of time really dialing in the messaging points

How are we going to communicate based upon not just who the potential prospect is. But where are they in their journey?

Where are they in their awareness level? So that's important. Number one is going to be messaging

Now number two the next thing that's really really important in order to make Facebook ads effective for your business is your offer now

What is your offer have to do with your ads?

No

typically you get your offer and everything dialed in long before you ever get to the

point of actually running a Facebook ad but the key is and the truth really that we see all the time is

when we start to map out an ad strategy for our clients the very first thing we do is we map out we look at

Their customer journey, we look at their offer

We map out offer and then we go through it with a fresh set of eyes

One of my mentors always says that she can't read the label from inside the bottle and sometimes you're too close to your actual offer

To really see what its gonna feel like what the customer the prospect is gonna experience when they go through it

So you want to make sure that you've gone through?

Every single step of your funnel and every single step look at the copy. Are you leaving money on the table?

are there opportunities where you can do more because if you're going to invest in advertising if you're gonna invest in social advertising

You want to make sure you want to make sure that you have in fact

Dialed in that offer so that you're not leaving on the money on the table. So that's number two

Number one messaging number two is your offer and then number three finally is the plan. What's the strategy?

Now this is the thing that it's really one of our superpowers

We spend a tremendous amount of time with all of our clients, but you can do this on your own, right?

So how can you work on your strategy? And we really think of three key areas when we map out an advertising strategy

We're always thinking about how can we grow our audience rates?

How can you get more people that have never heard of you into your ecosystem?

So number one grow your audience number two having a strategy for engaging

engaging those brand new people engaging people that have heard about you engaging people that know about you engaging people who love you so you

Want to make sure you have a strategy for engagement

And then number three you want to have a strategy for convergence

Now typically what most people do is they go straight to the conversion strategy and they ignore the other two, right?

They ignore those going in to their Facebook or their Instagram or any social advertising strategy

But you want to make sure that you do those first two and then you have your strategy for conversions

How are you going to get people to become leads and sales for your business?

You want to make sure you have a plan for those things?

so those things are super super important the other piece of your strategy that you want to make sure that you think about for your

plan when you want to make Facebook advertising effective for your business is

What kind of assets do you have? And what kind of assets are you going to need to produce?

Do you need a video? Do you need some images?

Do you have enough that you can test that again is really really important, you know

A lot of times video works really really well

But there are times where we run video and we test it up against an image and the image actually does butter

Which is you know, it happens it's strange, but it happens. So, you know your assets right so got building your audience

Creating kind of engagement with that with that audience and then your convergent and then you want to understand

What kind of assets do you need? And then finally, how are you gonna allocate your budget?

How is that going to work?

you want to make sure that you're allocating enough money to conversions so that you can be

profitable because the worst thing that can happen, is that you

Spend all of your advertising budget on building your audience and engaging them and you run out of money before

Conversions happen, so you don't want to do that. That's for sure

So you want to make sure you have properly budgeted and allocated across all three of those different parts of your strategy

That's really really important

So if you have your messaging dialed in if you have your offer dialed in and then you have your plan and your strategy dialed

in you are gonna set yourself up to have much more effective Facebook Ads then worrying about some of the

The way the algorithm is and all the changes that Mark Zuckerberg

constantly brings it out to us, right, you know, we totally get what it's like to feel like you're wasting money on ads and it's

incredibly incredibly frustrating and we really believe that great businesses should never be stressed out about

Their advertising plans or their advertising budget or their advertising dollars

So if you want to get more information we host a workshop. We do it a few times a year

My name is James Day. I'm a family practitioner for Mosaic Life Care.

The variety – I get to hold little babies

I get to see people in nursing homes –

95 - 100 years. I have the whole gamut.

So, there's a lot of variety and,

you know, behind every door's a new set of issues

new people to meet and,

people are really the true joy in life.

It's really them coming back to me.

They can give me feedback through

the return visits.

That's really developing a relationship

which you would do with anyone else

in other facets of your life so,

they come in, we communicate

so having been in practice for over thirty years,

really, I end up seeing my friends all day.

Probably my father.

He passed away abruptly,

and I was 22 years of age.

He'd had a very difficult life

and he gave me every advantage

that a father could give to his son,

so, it really inspired me.
