- Movie Poop Shoot continues to hit the papers and internet websites, as the fact that Kevin took it upon himself to sponsor and open his own website for the entertainment industry is big news for sure! Above, you’ll see scans from Monday’s Hollywood Reporter announcing the site, and below, what IndieWire had to say about the site. Mostly rehash of what we’ve seen before, but it’s great to see that the word has gotten out about the site. Now if they could just get the damn site off all the Cyberwatch service’s adult content lists, maybe we could surf it up at the workplace as well:
Kevin Smith Launches Entertainment News Site Movie Poop Shoot
(indieWIRE: 06.18.02) — Writer/director Kevin Smith is staking his claim in the entertainment news business, launching the new site, Movie Poop Shoot.com (www.moviepoopshoot.com). The site, named after the fictitious site that jumpstarts Smith’s recent Jay and Slient Bob movie (”Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back”), debuted yesterday.
Movie Poop Shoot.com offers daily news covering the movie, comic book, TV, and music worlds, with other features and columns as well. “I’m excited that I won’t have to check out 10 different websites for the stuff I’m curious about any longer,” Smith told indieWIRE by email, when asked about his reasons for funding the venture. “We’ll have it all under one roof with Poop Shoot.”
“The goal is just to offer a fun, sometimes irreverent and sometimes serious look at the great beast Pop Culture,” offered site editor-in-chief Chris Ryall in an email conversation with indieWIRE. “So we’ll do our best to provide real news next to inside information next to reviews and unique ways of presenting the material that infiltrates everyone’s head every day. Something like that.”
Continuing in his email to indieWIRE, Smith added, “We’re not trying to re-invent the wheel with Poop Shoot (and honestly, with a moniker like that, how could we?); we just want to add another spoke.” [Eugene Hernandez]
