• Just something quick for today…Got some new eJay auction items and a few NewsBites, but the real reason we’re writing this commentary is to say thanks to Susan at Criterion for shipping us a copy of the Chasing Amy test pressing. We’ll be spinning it up tonight for review, and be back tomorrow with a full review of the content, the transfer, and more. Our actual copies of the disc should be arriving in a day or two from Reel, so we’ll have a review of everything but the packaging itself. Thanks for the disc, Criterion!

• Here’s the list of new/rare items posted for your bids at eJay, the View Askew auction site. The newest list includes another Mallrats book, Bethany’s purse from Dogma (complete with contents), a way cool Clerks cartoon staff shirt (with one of our personal favorite quotes from an unaired Clerks episode), and, our favorite of the bunch, the Idiosyncratic Routine prop book that Joey Lauren Adams scribbled on repeatedly in her signing scene at Chasing Amy’s end. We predict that one will go for big bucks. There’s more, too, so good luck, bid wisely…Bidding on this group closes on June 19th.

And before you ask, no, the girl’s not available on the auction block.

• Campus Vibe has posted its video interview with Kevin Smith, as well as opened up a lot of featured Kevin Smith features. Surf over and check it out!
• The soon to be deceased (sadly) Reel.Com posted more information and pics on Jason Lee’s Stillwater flick today. Surf over to Reel.com (while it’s still there) for the story.
• Just in case we forgot to mention it earlier, Dogma is now out for rental in a video store near you in the UK. Look for it!

• Here’s a sad but poignant piece of art for today. Click for a larger version. Speaks for itself.
• Finally today, a very happy birthday to that Dogma scene-stealer himself, Jason Mewes.
