• Last night’s episode of Celebrity Deathmatch (that claymation fighting show on MTV) announced NEXT week’s contendors…And it claims “Kevin Smith vs. Kevin Costner”! Has to be Kev, cuz it seems to be a movie-related episode for the week. Hey, perhaps Jay will show up and lend ‘ol Kev a hand!

• Rumor has it that the Chasing Amy is indeed delayed, folks. We have no new date for release at this time. Word came down to video distributors from Disney. We assume the delays can be attributed to the addition of extra material and the new transfer, so the disc WILL be worth the wait in the long run. In the meantime, don’t be surprised if the agency you pre-ordered from cancels your disc, it’s common practice. As soon as we know more about the delay, including the new release date, we’ll let you know. Rest assured, the disc has NOT been canceled.

• Yes, we realize that it’s a bit later than you’d all hoped, but we now have a final date when the first episode of Clerks:The Cartoon Series will air on ABC. May 31st. This is still a few months off, but gives the show a prime spot as most other networks start airing reruns for the summer. With nothing new to watch, Clerks should draw in an even larger audience.
