Today’s Commentary

June 15th @ 3:32 pm | No Comments » | Scooped by Brad & Chris

  • Looks like we’ve slipped into a bit of a lull after all the Clerks fuss, but that’s cool, it’s always nice to get a break now and then. Gives everyone a chance to check out their new Chasing Amy DVD or hold their View Askew DVD movie marathons or whatever. By the way, does anyone else think it’s strange that after being totally out of the news, Patrick Swayze is back in it (with his plane crash and subsequent rumors of alchohol on board) the week that the episode of Clerks that lampooned him was scheduled to air? Spooky.

Just got a bunch of NewsBites for ya today, nothing too major storywise developing lately. There’s a few things worth checking out though. Read on, and we’ll be back with more as it happens.

  • Will Wilkins has been kind enough to post, in segments, the entire 2 hour call in appearance of Brian O’Halloran that took place on his call-in show earlier this week. If you’ve got some time, it’d certainly be worth your while to listen. Check out all the clips at Will’s site.
  • DVDFile’s Cliff Stephenson reviews the Chasing Amy DVD HERE. He takes a couple harsher swipes at the video and audio quality that we do (though he also realizes it’s just a 16mm flick), but all in all gives the disc some good marks.
  • If it makes you feel any better, ABC‘s performance slipped even further between 9 and 10 PM last night without its Millionaire lead-in, so it doesn’t look like it was Clerks’ fault, their ratings sucked anyway. Survivor (a damn fun show) is kicking ass in the ratings for CBS from 8-9, and shaking everything else up on Wednesday nights.
  • The History Askew website has been updated with the information learned from the Clerks cartoon.
  • It’s a blast from the past, but a scooper has posted a fairly in-depth page on an appearance Kev made at his school. Check it out HERE for photos, an appearance summary, and more.

Catch ya later, folks.
