  • Those of you reading us from over the pond (relative to us, anyway) will be happy to hear that Dogma’s currently slated to arrive on region 2 DVD on July 17, 2000 according to the Region 2 DVD Website.
  • Ben Affleck stopped by his web board and made some posts yesterday, including this one, urging folks to pick up the upcoming Premiere Magazine, for which he wrote an article:
I just recieved an advance copy of the Premiere Magazine to which I contributed an article. There is a picture of me pushing a motorcycle and the caption reads “who the hell does Ben Affleck think he is…by Ben Affleck” I rarely do this, but I have to urge you all to go out and pick up a copy of this. The good folks at Premiere were kind enough to let me contribute to their periodical and I’d love it if you all rewarded them by buying it off the shelves. The article came out really well (the editor even made me look like like a passable writer) and I’m really proud of having taken a shot–the potential for me to look like an idiot is certainly there, but it was worth the risk.

Again, it should be on Newsstands in a week or so, pick up a copy–hell, pick up two.

Thanks,

Ben

  • “Desert Blue”, with Askew vet Ethan Suplee is now out on VHS.
  • “Dogma” got a mention in an absolutely awful joke on tonight’s episode of “It’s Like, Ya Know…” on ABC. A character read in a newspaper that a man brought his German shepherd to see DOGMA, and is now suing the theatre to get his money back. Hey, ABC – If you need some new writers, we could always use some extra cash.
  • Here’s an interesting piece. A reviewer at the Another Universe website says that bigwigs at ABC are complaining that the Clerks animated series is “too adult”. First we’ve heard of anything like that. You can check out his piece HERE.
  • Good news for Lions Gate today: Paul G. Allen, Microsoft co-founder and owner of 600 other companies, agreed to invest $33.2 million in Lions Gate Entertainment through his holding company Vulcan Ventures Inc.
  • Finally today, Dogma’s up for best movie in an online Wizard poll. You can surf over HERE and cast your vote if ya like.

Oh, and just something to look forward to — We got a little inside taste of Brian Lynch‘s script for the upcoming zombie horror/comedy opus “Everybody’s Dead”. We’ll have a story on that and more next time we see ya. Thanks for popping on by.
