  • Looks like the Coke commercial Kevin directed will be appearing first during the Olympics,NOT the Superbowl as originally speculated. The MTV shorts (which are quite hilarious from what we’ve heard) hit the air sometime in March. The Clerks comic written by Kev is still set to hit the shelves mid-February.
  • Project Pocketwatch is now OFFICIALLY back online. A new illustration from the Superman Lives script every week! Stop by and check out the latest.
  • This Friday and Saturday, “Clerks” will be the midnight movie at, CinemaStar Luxury Theaters in Riverside, CA. This is a great chance for you west-coasters who missed the thon to catch this classic on the big screen! Stop by their page for details.
  • Spin magazine’s February issue had a section on the “Indie 50” for 1997. Ben Affleck came in at #17, Kevin Smith just behind at #18, with Joey Adams at #29. Who was #1, you ask? Noneother than the dreaded, evil Harmony Korine. It’s a weird world. Thanks to Damon Schmidt for the early scoop on this one.
  • Our NBC mole, who calls himself 812 Wynarski (and I wanted to rent a movie tonight), gives us advanced word that there’s a February 2nd rerun coming up with Joey Adams on Conan O’Brien that is a rebroadcast of her May 2nd appearance. Fans of hers may want to mark their calendars early if they missed this one the first time around.

    Vinnie’s Off To Sundance…

  • For those of you who like to keep track of what Vincent’s up to (especially you NEW Vinnie fans who just saw his flick last week), here’s an update from the man himself on what’s on his plate for the next few weeks:
      Just dropping a quick note to remind anybody who cares to know that I’ll be in Park City, Utah from tomorrow night (the 14th) until the afternoon of the 19th when I arrive home. Also, I got the first date of the Flixtour, and it’ll be February 5th at the University of North Carolina. I’m not sure exactly how long I’ll be away, or if there are any sabaticals during the tour itself, so there’s good chance I’ll be away from February until late April.

    Have a good trip! Send us a postcard.

  • Mike Richwalsky dropped us a nice note with all the details on Kevin’s appearance inPittsburgh tomorrow night. If you recall, we asked you to send your letters to the programmingpeople at the school to get him there, and it worked! They were flooded with letters. So goodjob to all of you that wrote. We hope all of you that attend enjoy the apperance. Alas,Pittsburgh is a bit of a drive for us (3+ hours), so we’re not gonna make the trek for this one.Plus, after VulgarThon, we’re satiated for a while…
