Since we’ve mentioned it, a few more questions have come up on the disc so we just wanted to clear the air on a few things. The disc has always been a joint effort from Criterion & Buena Vista, we just weren’t sure who was putting their name on the release. So this disc WILL be an official “Criterion Collection” disc, and contain all the material that was found on the Criterion laser released a couple years back. All the deleted scenes, commentary, stills, and other good stuff will all be in here, along with a NEW anamorphic transfer supervised by DP Dave Klein and a new special DVD introduction done by Kevin. Buena Vista’s handling all the release and promotion of the disc, though.

Above you’ll find scans of the DVD’s front and back, courtesy of DVD File. Click them for larger versions.

Unfortunately, we’ve got no contacts at Buena Vista anymore and hear that the other DVD review sites have the same problems in dealing with them, so it looks like any reviews on the disc’s material from us will have to wait until sometime next week, once our mail-order copies arrive and we’ve had a chance to look at the thing. We’ll keep ya posted.

• If you’re like 99% of the population and don’t quite understand what a ratings “point” is, here’s the bottom line. We’ve finally got clarification. Last week’s Clerks had a 5.2 rating. Each point represents 1,000,008 TV households. So, according to Nielsen, if ya do the math, 7.4 million households tuned into Clerks last week. Hey, that’s not bad at all! A “share” by the way, is the percentage of TV sets in use. Clerks had a “9” share, which means 9% of TV’s were on at the time. Is that all? 🙂

• When asked a question about the way cool new Fight Club DVD (A great DVD and a fantastic flick, see it), Vincent dropped some big details on the upcoming Dogma Special Edition DVD. Check it out!

• We predicted big things for this guy way back when, and it’s just getting better! Seems that the guy’s really gonna be a household name soon. With the new Cameron Crowe/Stillwater flick coming out, Lee’s already working on a ton of new projects…First, we had that one with Jennifer Love-Hewitt, now a new ensemble from Sonnenfeld. Wow, this guy’s racking up some great projects, and good for him!

Sidenote: This month’s Movieline (with Mel Gibson on the cover) spotlights Jason Lee’s home entertainment system on page 88. There’s a pic with Jason and his TV along with a one page article.

• Here’s a new interview with Kevin courtesy of Entertainment Weekly online. In it, he discusses the Clerks series, and how he REALLY feels towards ABC. Another fun interview that you’ll certainly want to take a few minutes and peruse.
• Dogma will be shown at this years Glastonbury Festival in the UK on Sunday, June 25th, in the cinema tent. Here’s the lineup for that night:

Three really decent films there, for sure! We say ya take an afternoon nap, show up for Dogma, and keep your seat for all of ‘em!

• The IMDB’s “Truly Trivial” asked yesterday: In what movie was Emma Thompson originally cast as God? Hopefully you all know the answer.
• In related news, the IMDB also claims that Chasing Amy is the #3 selling DVD preorder at the moment. Not bad, though we can’t help but wonder where they get all those wonderful statistics.
• Unfortunately, delays with production are continuing to prevent Vincent from finishing work on the A Better Place DVD by its propsed July release date. There were no official annoucements on a new date yet, but today, Reel.Com sent a note out to all who pre-ordered the movie with a new date of AUGUST 22. Take it with a grain of salt, we all knew the disc wasgoing to be delayed, but no one knows for sure when it’s gonna happen.
• We hear some Chasing Amy graphitti appears on the walls of page 1 of the new issue of Spawn. We’ll try and nab a scan, I’ve been lacking behind on my Spawn issues. Stupid comic shop cancelled my subscription on me for not coming in enough.

• Finally today, here’s a scanned quote from the latest Wizard (#106). Words to live by. See ya next time.

We’ll have an update for ya later tonight featuring that Variety/Yahoo article on Jason Lee’s new project, more on the Amy DVD, and a sneak peek at tonight’s Clerks: TCS episode. See ya then!
