- Not to overshadow Kev’s appearance, in fact, you probably wanna WATCH Kev and tape this one if you’re up late tonight:But George Carlin will be appearing on the Late Late Show With Craig Kilborn. This show airs at the same time as Conan.Nothing like saturating the market with Dogma promotion! Carlin’s great on talk shows, though, so be sure and set the VCR for this one as well as Kev’s stint with Conan tonight.
SIDENOTE: Carlin is ALSO scheduled to appear on Art Bell‘s AM radio program on the 10th of November during the third hour of his programing, which runs from Midnight to 5 AM east coast time.
- ICQ Askew has resurfaced again with a new look. Stop by if you’re looking to use the software to chat online with other VA fans.
- The Saving Private Ryan DVD is out (and ho boy, I can’t WAIT to spin that sucker up on my home theater, but I’m waiting until my couches show up) — And Dogma is indeed mentioned amongst Damon’s biography on the disc. Cool.
“Since Saving Private Ryan, Damon has completed a starring role in in John Dahl’s Rounders and a supporting role in Kevin Smiths Dogma, with Chris Rock, Ben affleck and Linda Fiorentino.”
- At presstime, the Hollywood Stock Exchange’s current poll is “Dogma looks like a real winner, Yes or No?” The poll can be found HERE but we’re not sure for how much longer. Currently, the results of the survey have it at 82% YES!
- FilmFour (the UK distributor) launched the UK Dogma site a few days ago (www.dogma-movie.co.uk). It’s much different than the ultra-slick official site that Ming designed, but it does show the UK teaser trailer and it offers a chance to win Dogma t-shirts and posters.
- Kevin’s featured in a new article in George Magazine called “Mr. Smith In Hell.”. We hope to have a transcription soon. Here’s a taste, in case you want to pick up the issue:
Prologue:
When Kevin Smith created Dogma, his controversial indictment of the Catholic Church, he knew ke’d have a holy war on his hands. But he never expected his patron, Miramax, to turn Judas. Hey, that’s entertainment!
- Here’s yet another shot for today, with a great story behind it — Lots of fun stuff going on at the Dogma Benefit Screening last week:
Just thought I would drop you a copy of this picture. It may seem ordinary and stupid, but in the right context it was f**king hilarious. We were parked in front of the Stash monday morning picking up our tickets for the screening. We decided that since I paid the extra $5 insurance coverage on the rental car we might as well put it to good use. So as you see in the picture, I am installing a Dogma bumper sticker on the rear of my rented automobile. Photo courtesy of RugMuncher. Guess you had to be there, it was just plain hilarious. There is now a white rental cruising the Eastern Seaboard with a black Dogma sticker on the rear.
- Check out this new Dogma poster from the Official Dogma site. We’re not sure if this exists as an actual one sheet, because to us it just looks like a combination of the smaller one sheets made into a graphic, but ya never know! Click the thumb for a larger version.
- “Coyote Ugly” has changed its name, according to the Internet Movie Database:
November 2, 1999… In an interesting twist, we’re told the production has been forced to change its title from Coyote Ugly to…Bandito Smiles? According to our friend, Coyote Ugly also happens to be the name for a Japanese cartoon, and the producers of the cartoon have the title trademarked in the U.S. and Canada. That means they can’t use the same title for the picture and instead have selected the aforementioned Bandito Smiles as the film’s new replacement.
If you’re curious how the heck Bandito Smiles relates to this film’s premise, it’s the name of a cocktail made of tequila and Zima.
- Finally today, here’s a couple dudes that got into the Halloween spirit Askew-style. Randy (Jay) Falk and David (Silent Bob) Falk shared a shot of their costumes that apparently were a big hit this year.
