Tonight the Weedmaster was at the star-studded premiere of Christmas With The Kranks at New York's Radio City Music Hall. People began arriving shortly after 6PM. On hand were William H. Macy, Tim Allen, Eddie Murphy, Jake Busey, Caroline Rhea, Jamie Lee Curtis, WWF's Mankind and Dan Aykroyd, many of whom star in the film.
But wait, we almost forgot....one of the two funniest comedians of all time, Cheech Marin, was there. He is also part of The Kranks cast.
The Weedmaster had a chance to speak with Cheech during the long wait for his car. When asked about the reunion movie, he said that New Line is still in the process of writing the script and that the pot hair tonic concept is still the basis.
The Weedmaster also asked him about where the Basketball Jones cartoon originated (the one featured in Being There). He said it was created by a friend of Lou Adler's to promote the Basketball Jones single and that the Being There producers just decided to use it. He didn't know where to get the full version, but we assume that Warner Bros owns the rights.
Cheech was on his way to the UK for the launch of Sony's Cheech and Chong DVD box set we mentioned last week (see 11.03.2004 below). The signing is Friday 11/19 @ Fopp Charing Cross Rd @ Noon.
The post-premiere party, which we did not attend, was held in Central Park.
