Commentary…

June 10th @ 9:20 am | No Comments » | Scooped by Brad & Chris

  • Been busy around these parts lately, hasn’t it? Well, with the big Dogma SE review, the documentary, and lots of other stuff on the horizon, it doesn’t look like it’ll be letting up anytime soon. Hope you’re enjoying the ride! A few words on that review, by the way. We meant to post a video capture of the Stash spot but forgot to, will have that added as well as info on the second commentary, easter eggs, and more soon. We’ll keep you posted on that revision and hopefully have some more insight on the disc itself from Vincent and Kevin once they have a chance to check it out (we somehow got a REALLY early copy of this one!)

Catching up on stuff, there ARE also reviews for the Clerks DVD and a few other special pieces on the horizon, so keep your eyes peeled for that. It’s time to get caught up on some old business before the barrage of news that’s gonna hit as the release of J&SBSB draws closer. Speaking of which, we’ve got a lot of news AND a new poll topic for ya today, so surf on down:

  • Listen up, Aussies: According to www.melbournemovies.com.au, the release date for J&SBSB is sometime in October. Most likely they’ll start it up 2 weeks after Rush Hour 2 comes out, just like they’re doing here in the States.
  • The offical Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back shirts are reportedly out and about…So if you ordered from the Stash or your local comic shop, look for ‘em soon!
  • There are a couple of View Askew mentions in an interview with SeannWilliam Scott that ran in today’s Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Here’s therelevant part:
His favorite Kevin Smith flick: “Clerks.” Makes sense. While struggling to become an actor, Scott sold food at the zoo and worked as a cart boy at Home Depot (where he was promoted to the plumbing department, we might add).

Acting for Kevin Smith: Scott has a cameo role in “Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.” “I was so honored. My cameo’s only two scenes long, and I kind of played it inward and weird. With a wig and braces. I don’t know much about the story.” And, contrary to the listing posted on the Internet Movie Database, Scott is not appearing in the film as Steve Stifler.

  • The trailer for the new Jason Lee Movie “Big Trouble” is being shown with Pearl Harbor in select areas. Look for it if you’d like a chance to catch it on the big screen. Speaking of Lee, if you’re one of those folks who missed out on getting tickets to his Orlando appearance, we hear that sometimes waiting in the standby line can get ya in. It’s always worth a shot!
  • Finally today, news on two Midnight “Clerks” screenings, June 22 and 23, Main Street Cinema in Clearwater, Florida (that’s the Tampa/St. Petersburg area). Admission is $5. For information, call (727) 725-0003.
