  • Wanna see Ben on the big scren in the trailer for his new flick “Forces of Nature” with Sandra Bullock? It’s currently found at the beginning of “Patch Adams” and “Stepmom” at a theater near you…And for a “chick flick”, it actually don’t look half bad.
  • We neglected to mention a nifty new T-shirt offered in the back of Previews: It has a picture of Walt Flanagan’s Dog on the front, and on the back the dog’s backside can be seen (in all his “glory”). It’s surrounded by the quote “Yo Quiero this!!!” Funny stuff.
  • We’re not sure if we ever mentioned this story, but a scooper uncovered this interview with Jason Lee, discussing his skateboarding career as well as his acting. Check it out HERE.

  • Well, we’re back. Hope you all had an enjoyable holiday weekend, and that Santa brought you everything that you wanted! Neither of us ended up with that digital camera in our stockings, so I suppose we didn’t get it ALL, but hey, it’s a tall order. After the suckers come down in price, we may end up with one, which would allow for better photographs for events we attend for the site. On that note, there really hasn’t been TOO much going on. A few administrative things, though: If you’ve noticed the poll color changing on the right, it’s on purpose: We took away the solid background for IE users so that Netscape users could read the text better. It doesn’t look quite as slick, but at least now everyone can read it. If anyone has a solution to the problem we were having before (poll background not showing up on top of a graphic), drop us a line. Also, our counters seem to be getting eaten away somehow, too. ALL counts for the subapges were reset since data was lost, we were only able to recover the main page and Dogma: Rumor Control. So numbers will be MUCH lower than they should, but hey, that’s life. Again, if anyone knows stuff about net counters, let us know, perhaps we can do something to prevent that from happening again!

    Alright, enough of the boring chit chat, you want the news, and we’ve got the news. There’s not much to talk about, really. It’s been a very slow time for news (always is at the holidays), so expect a pick-up after the new year. Kevin’s been quiet on the boards, and news of Dogma since the screening has been nil. We still managed to uncover at least a FEW tidbits over the past few days though, so here we go:
