- Here’s a video that should serve as a good test of the new server, so check it out. TS3K & Dr. Dude have created a very clever Clerks: The Animated Series trailer, using audio from the original Clerks trailer, the TV show, and scenes from the Clerks Cartoon DVD. The result is quite cool. Click HERE to download a full-size MPEG video of the film, and be sure you’ve got the latest Quicktime player installed (both for this AND the new trailer coming this Thursday!).
- Ifilm (www.ifilm.com) has a “Movies to Watch, Movies to Beware, Faces to Watch,” section, and guess who’s on the faces to watch list? That’s right, our very own Jason Mewes. Check it out HERE. Speaking of which Mewes celebrates a birthday today. Wish him a happy one!
- Many questions have been circulating around the possible RCE encoding of the new Dogma SE DVD. It seems that some Columbia Tristar titles are using this technology, and some are not. RCE prevents a disc from playing on region-free DVD players, those overseas design to play discs for all over the world. We’re still looking for a definite answer on this, but just wanted to warn those of you overseas who are buying the disc: It MIGHT not play in your region-free machine. We’ll post a definite answer on RCE and the Dogma SE as soon as we’ve got one.
- We mentioned this way back in April, but Diamond Comics have announced that the Chasing Dogma trade paperback is indeed on schedule for a release this summer. Here’s their report:
Two years separated Jay & Silent Bob’s appearances in Kevin Smith’s films Chasing Amy and Dogma, leaving many of their fans wondering what happened to the Deadly Jersey Duo in the interim. Image Comics will give those fans the answer this summer when it publishes the Chasing Dogma TP (APR011330, $12.95) in time for the release of the duo’s next film, Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back.
Starting from the last scene of Smith’s Chasing Amy and ending at the point where Dogma begins, the story — by Smith & Duncan Fegredo — will follow the lads cross-country as they leave the security of New Jersey behind in search of their own form of paradise (as shaped by the films of John Hughes). In addition to their encounters with everything from porn stars to an intelligent monkey, the book will include an introduction by Grammy Award-winner (and “God” from Dogma) Alanis Morissette.
The book is intended for mature readers.
- The July issue of Movieline features an article on Shannen Doherty in which it’s mentioned that her first big-screen appearace, post-”Charmed”, is going to be in Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back. Ali Larter also appears on page 33, discussing the award she won for Breakthrough Performance at the Third Annual Movieline Young Hollywood Awards.
- The Total Film website is running a new poll, with the question “Which of these was the best directorial debut?” The choices are The Virgin Suicides, The Way Of The Gun, Spanking The Monkey, and Clerks. At presstime, Clerks was still WAY ahead of the game.
