- We’re back after a Superbowl weekend break — Today’s update should catch up everything that’s been happening, though it’s been a generally slow period. There will be a lot more to talk about later in the month with the Jay & Bob and Drawing Flies DVD releases, the appearance of the new Green Arrow supervillian, and more as Kevin creeps ever closer to pre-production of Jersey Girl. We’ll be here to cover it all from start to finish. Until then, let’s catch up on what’s been going on over the weekend and today. Here ya go:

- Vulgar is now set for an NY/LA/SF release on April 26th. The rest of the release schedule will likely be set after they see how it performs in those markets.
- In an interview available HERE, Brad Meltzer discusses what he’ll be doing when he takes over from Kevin as Green Arrow writer.
- DVD News: The Region 2 UK Chasing Amy DVD is now out, as an HMV exclusive. It costs £17.99. In other news, it appears that Clerks, Mallrats and Chasing Amy have been repackaged in Canada under a single Jersey Trilogy set. It doesn’t look like you get a special case for all 3, and the versions of the films are the exact same DVDs out currently, but this could be a way to save some bread if you need the whole set. Check out their listing at the Future Shop website HERE.
- Australians love Mallrats! The next issue of the Australian “Empire” magazine sent out an ad for the next issue, available in Wednesday. On it, it promotes the top 100 films of all time, of which Mallrats gets quite a mention: They picked the flick as their FAVORITE COMEDY OF ALL TIME! Wow. Good stuff there and quite an honor.
- Jay Mewes appears in photos and a small quote from this men’s fashion magazine article about the comeback of Pony athletic gear. Photos are above, and here’s the short quote:
“Jason Mewes, the actor from Jay and Silent Bob fame, says he wears Pony because he likes “the old-school style. It’s comfy and looks cool.”
