Clerks DVD Petition Continues…

  • Clerks Campaign Update: It appears that many (if not ALL) of you are now getting “bounced” error messages from the Disney server about the mail you sent – So either they cut it off, we somehow overran it, or it’s been down all along. We’re not giving up that easily though. If anyone has a better suggestion for a more direct e-mail OR snail mail address we can send our polite requests to regarding the Clerks DVD, let us know. Thanks to all of you for helping out so far — Even if nothing comes from it, at least our voice was heard (or read anyway). We’ll keep you posted.

  • HBO is launching a couple new cahnnels, one called HBO Zone, aimed at a young adult audience. “HBO Zone, which the network hopes will attract young adults with an alternative sensibility, will feature primetime movies at 9 p.m. each night. May’s titles will include “Clerks”, “She’s Gotta Have It”, “Wayne’s World” and “The Grave”. Sounds like a perty cool channel to us.
  • Finally today, in the “amusing news” department…It looks like the Clerks “snowball” isn’tthe only one flying around at the Disney offices…Coincidence?
Ex-Disney boss says owed $250 mln

LOS ANGELES (AP) – Top Walt Disney Co. executives waged a secretcampaign called “Operation Snowball” to deprive former studio chiefJeffrey Katzenberg of tens of millions of dollars he was owed formaking the company a success, his lawyer contended Monday. A Disneyattorney scoffed at that and said Operation Snowball was nothing morethan Disney’s effort to keep track of how much it owed Katzenberg andthe snowball of paperwork required to compute it. In openingstatements in the second phase of a $250 million breach-of-contractlawsuit, Katzenberg lawyer Bert Fields presented a series of memos tobolster his argument that Disney concocted a contract argument overan incentive bonus to deprive Katzenberg of the money he was owed.
