• Well, you probably thought we’d given up on ya, huh? Actually, we’re been around, it’s just been quite dead for the past couple of days (reminiscent of before the Clerks cartoon showed up) so we thought we’d take it easy for a bit until there was enough to warrant a full update. Still, you’ll see there’s not much going on. We did change the poll topic and manage to dig up some cool stuff on the upcoming Dogma: SE disc, so read on, and enjoy. By the way, I (Brad) turn 27 today, 3 years away from the big 3-0. Happy Birthday to me…I got a cool new fish tank for the house, and am in the process of trying to find some colorful freshwater fish that I can throw in there. If anyone’s a fish expert out there, drop me a line, I’m pretty stupid and could use some pointers before I end up killing a bunch of them. Thanks.

• We’ve been forgetting to mention this for over a week now, but it’s some very cool news that you may have missed unless you regularly surf the View Askew WWWBoard. Vincent Pereira revealed that a second commentary was recorded for inclusion on the already-loaded Dogma Special Edition DVD due sometime this fall (no official release date has yet been announced). This second track was with just he, Kevin, and producer Scott Mosier. It focuses more on the making of the flick itself, rather than the more whimsical track with Affleck, Lee, & others. Both tracks should be worth the time to listen to, for sure. Add those to the brand new documentary, the extended (by 8 minutes) Cannes print of the flick, AND (our favorite) an approximately 100 minutes of deleted scenes, and you’ve got what’s probably going to be the best DVD to hit the market yet. And we’re not just saying that because we’re fans. It’s gonna be damn cool.

• The all-knowing IGN guys reviewed the Chasing Amy DVD, and seemed to like the flick itself, but were fairly harsh on the disc’s audio and video limitations. Read all about it HERE.
• Kevin’s the “Loser Of The Week” (great honor, huh?) in Entertainment Weekly due to the Clerks series being cancelled: “After the first two episodes of clerks failed to register with viewers, ABC has closed shop on the indie’s auteurs’s animated small-screen effort.” The winner? Talk Soup host, Hal Sparks, for landing a new gig in an indie flick. Sure, we’ll see who makes it further, EW. Plus, shouldn’t ABC be the losers of the week for ditching such a fun new show?
• Word has it that Film Four will release Dogma for sale on VHS in the UK sometime this December. Still no US sellthrough date, but we can assume it’ll be much sooner than that, probably this fall.
• Finally today, here’s something that’s quite amusing: The Ninja Hypothesis is a website whose theory is that ANY flick can be made better with the addition of ninjas. Surf over to see what they thought some of the hooded fellas could add to Dogma. (Aside: They thought “Fight Club” almost defeated the entire hypothesis due to it being pretty cool without ninjas. Heh.)

Sorry for the lack of news lately, we’ll be back sooner with more, as long as something happens, anyway.
