• Clerks gets mentioned as having “Decent Potential” by USA Today…ummm…today:

The article mostly lists shows with dark futures ahead, and gives props to only a few, so this is certainly positive buzz.

• MTV is planning to air a new special on Wednesday, February 16th at 10 PM, titled “True Life: I’m a Star as Sundance”. No word if this show will feature any footage of Kev’s gig at the festival.
• “Chasing Dogma” is starting to ship from the Stash and other locations. It’s also available from some comic and book websites, though we’re not sure what their supply is like. Keep in mind it’s a very limited run and when they’re gone, that’s it! We’ll have a closer look at the book for ya very soon.
• Finally today, just a short note for all the Britsih fans in the North-east of England. Newcastle’s Tyneside cinema is showing a Clerks and Chasing Amy Double Bill on Friday the 18th of February. The show begins at 11:00 PM and lasts until the ungodly hour of 3:00 AM. Tickets will run ya £6.00 / £4.50 students.

• As Dogma continues to make its way around the world, it’s always interesting to take a look at some of the press and reactions that the film has in other countries and cultures. This week, we’ve been receiving quite a bit of Australian press and scoops. Take a look:

• Garth from Dark Horizons ran his review on Dogma. It’s definitely mixed between positive and negative. Read it HERE.
• Here’s an Australian website that’s got their own review, and some clips from the flick HERE.
• This Sydney website has posted a favorable review of the flick. You can read it HERE.
• Finally, Imovie has posted a summary & review HERE.

In addition to all the press, we’ve gotten several reports stating that the flick is being received quite well, with lots of laughter, applause, and full audiences. Glad to hear it.

By the way, Dogma is also hitting a couple more foreign markets this month — It’s been announced that the flick premieres in Spain next Friday, February 11th. Thailand’s release WAS scheduled for tomorrow, but now we hear the date may have been pushed back a couple of weeks. Press is light over there, but a source may be sending us some interesting promotional material soon. Stay tuned.

• Wow, 2 days in a row! Just like the ‘ol Dogma days. Speaking of that, we’re not sure when the next update will be after today’s, since tomorrow “Scream 3” opens, and ya know ya just GOTTA catch that on the first day before it gets ruined. Hopefully it’ll be as good as some early reviews are saying. Also, it’s been too long already, and by some miracle we’ve both actually got a free Friday night, so we’re going to sit down with the flick and play our Dogma drinking game tomorrow night. We’re even toying with the idea of playing it with the Molson XXX that was brought down for me from Canada. Could be ugly. At any rate, we’ll be back with another (probably hung over) update after that, along with the damage that the game does to ya. Pray for us!
