• “Chasing Amy” is set to bow on video December 23, 1997. The laserdisc will most likely follow a few weeks later (in typical Miramax fashion). This news comes to us courtesy of today’s issue of Video Store magazine. It says, alone with a pic of Ben Affleck and Joey Adams on the cover in a “comfortable” position:

It seems that Kevin’s lecture will be starting at 7:00 p.m., not at 8:00 as previously thought. If you still need convincing, you can call Rutgers at (609)225-6161. We’re sorry forthe false information, but we were going by the time on their website, which may simply be thetime they plan for the film to start. We recommend you’re there for the whole thing, though.By the way, we’ll be there as well. Just look for the 2 guys that look like everyone else and blend right into the crowd.
