  • Here’s a few screenshots from the E! News Daily piece that ran earlier this week. We’ll have a full-length video of that piece for ya soon, by the way. Early next week, probably. Watch for it.
  • Well, looks like the Golgothan lost in that Maxim online poll, but came in second to a worthy adversary:
WORTHIEST ROBOT OR MONSTER

The Golgothan, Dogma 18.36%
The real Godzilla, Godzilla 2000 15.60%
Darth Maul, The Phantom Menace 39.73%
Kevin Bacon, Hollow Man 13.24%
Bette Midler, Isn’t She Great 13.08%

  • This snippet popped up in a Chicago Tribune story by Mark Caro on the ratings system. The headline reads “‘F’ for Failure: NC-17 Doesn’t Work”:
Kevin Smith, whose debut film “Clerks” was initially rated NC-17 for its foul language before the ruling was overturned on appeal, suggested: “What they ought to do is get rid of the NC-17 and just call it R-Plus, because R is a rating (moviegoers) are familiar with, and they can sleep well at night. NC-17 to them is `We’re heading into ancient Roman times and utter debauchery, and we’re going to bring civilization down around our knees.”’
  • Tracy Morgan was on a very funny radio talk show “The Radio Chick” with Leslie Gold on 102.7 WNEW (same station as Opie and Anthony). He didn’t give any info that we haven’t heard already, but did give a plug to the ‘Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back’ flick, and gave props “to his man, Kev!” He was promoting his comedy show at Caroline’s in Manhattan this weekend.
  • The latest issue of Toyfare Magazine promotes “Twisted Toyfare Theater, Collectors Edition” as “The Trade Paperback You Must Have!”. Kevin apparently writes an introduction for this book. Watch for it. It hits shelves in August.
