Kevin To Appear On “Orgazmo” DVD Commentary!

  • “Orgazmo” is a hilarious early film from Trey Parker and Matt Stone (creators of “South Park”) that spoofs the porn industry. The film finally saw a small home video and pay TV release a year or so ago, but the DVD release has been slowed due to a massive amount of Special Edition material that’s being prepared for it, plus some other legal issues.

Why are we telling you this? Well, we’ve recently been told that the DVD will feature a “celebrity commentary track”, where various celebs chat about the film as it runs. Kevin will be one of the folks featured on this track, along with The South Park writing staff (Pam Brady, Matt Pregger and Kyle McCulloch), Weird Al Yankovic, Dave Foley, Bob Odenkirk & David Cross(From HBO’s Mr. Show) and David Zucker. It certainly sounds interesting! We’re looking for more information on this development, and hopefully will have a copy to review well before release. Sounds like another collectible to add to the DVD shelf for you completists out there.

For more information, you can visit the Orgazmo Community at http://www.orgazmodvd.com – The website will launch with the release of the DVD sometime this fall. The forum’s already up and running, so fans can continue to check with the site for more info on the exact release date. We’ll keep you posted.

  • The Tonight Show has a newly designed webapge, and Kevin’s now featured at their website, due to his continued Roadside Attractions coverage. You can see his write-up HERE and also watch the California edition of Roadside Attractions directly at their site.

  • J&SBSB opened last Thursday in Germany, so we’re providing some scans of promotional material, as well as a magazine review which gives the film’s RC1 DVD its highest rating – The info box “The DVD King” at the bottom is about the poor quality of the RC2 DVDs of Kevi’s films. They emphasize that he puts a lot of effort in the commentary tracks and that they are by far the best. The third picture is from the same magazine and lists the DVDs with RC1 and 2 with the best audio commentaries. All of Kevin’s films made the list! If you can read German, we’re sure you’ll get even more out of the scans above.
  • J&SBSB was mentioned twice on the Comedy Central game show “Beat The Geeks” last night, when contestants were asked to identify Ali Larter and Shannon Elizabeth.

  • A picture of Stan Lee on the set of Daredevil appears today at Dark Horizons.
  • Kevin gets a small quote in a USA Today article called “Conquering Comic Heroes” today:
Alas, its declining-in-quality sequels sucked a good idea dry. As filmmaker Kevin Smith (Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back), who runs a comic-book emporium in Red Bank, N.J., says, ”Batman & Robin, the fourth film, was the death of the comic-book movie. It was too hokey. But X-Men suddenly opened the floodgates again.”
