• Entertainment Weekly online is asking YOU to select your favorites for their upcoming 100 Greatest Entertainers issue. Kevin is listed as a choice under the greatest young directors (Under 40) section. Right now it looks like he’s listed third under Tarantino and Burton. How about going over and casting a vote for the guy? Surf HERE: We’re sure that we’ll see Kev in the issue.
• We were asked if we wouldn’t mind giving a shout out to a good Alanis news page, kinda like this one we assume,called Alanis News. Sure. Alanis News is the Alanis Morissette Fan Club, which includes a newsletter, bulletin board, and discussion list. Surf it up here if ya like http://alanisnews.hypermart.net/
• We STILL don’t play cuz we’re afraid to get hooked on its evilness, but we hear the Hollywood Stock Exchange seems tobe suffering some droping numbers on Kev and Dogma. No idea why it’s happening, nothing to do with the actual popularity ofthe flick, but fans of this page were hoping folks would jump over and buy up the stuff to raise their portfolios. Youselfish bums! We figured we’d help them out and give it a mention.
• According to the Official Saturday Night Live Page, Ben Affleck is in talks and is very likely to host SNL at some point during the season. We’ll keep ya posted.

• Finally, we’ve got two new pics for ya today. First, the publicity keeps on coming for Kevin’s latest flick “Dogma”…And what better way to make everyone sit up and take note of this film than to show the beautiful Salma Hayek in her full glory. The picture comes courtesy of The Sun, newspaper. Affleck, Damon, Hayek all get a mention, but alas, no mention for Kevin again.

Also, remember the supposed backstage pass from Lee’s upcoming Cameron Crowe flick of the band? Turns out it wasn’t theactual one that was used in the film. We’ve got a scan of that from an actual source that was an extra on the flick –Just click the thumb for a better look. You can spot Jason pretty easily.

Hey, we’re off to New York tomorrow, so there will be no Monday update! Hopefully we’ll have enough juice on Tuesday to get caught up with mail, news, and all the good stuff that goes on in the Big Apple. See ya then!

• The fall movie season has just been (and promises to continue to be with “Fight Club” & “Dogma” on the horizon) one of the best we can ever remember. Fall’s really been blowing away the summer as far as quality movies at the cineplex. Saw two flicks this weekend: One good, one GREAT. “Three Kings” was a fairly enjoyable and intriguing piece of cinema, though probably not as Oscar-worthy as the whispers have been saying, but definitely had some fantastic moments. Worth your cash. And sorry to get on the bandwagon, but “American Beauty” is just an outstanding flick. Go and see it. We just got back and the verdict is, it did not disappoint. And I had high expectations, as well. The ensemble performed well, with Spacey at the forefront with another Oscarworthy turn. Hell, it may even be worth catching again before it’s gone.

The Dogma trailer, which we saw for the first time on the big screen, appeared before American Beauty, which is a good sign. Lots of folks will see the flick and the trailer in the coming weeks.

I do have a bone to pick here before I get into the update though: Is it just me, or are people actually more annoying than ever at the movies? First of all, folks can’t keep quiet during a movie. And they don’t even whisper. They TALK. Then, we’ve got a guy in front of us who, after the first preview finished, yelled “TURN IT DOWN!!!” when things got quiet. He then proceeded to exit the theater to obviously complain, and sure enough, down goes the sound. So nice that he could decide how loud the movie should be for the other 400 or so people at the show as well. I say it’s better to play it loud to drown out the morons like him that are talking during the movie. Guess they just like it turned down so they can have better conversations. Stay the hell home next time. Man, I love my home theater. I just wish it got first run movies!

Enough of the complaints though, we’ve got some news…Pretty quiet weekend, thankfully, but we’ve got a big day ahead with the Dogma premiere in New York City tomorrow (should be a blast!). For now, some NewsBites. Don’t forget to vote in this week’s poll, too:
