  • A duo that appear in the just-released Powerpuff Girls movie is reminding some folks of Jay & Silent Bob – One long haired, chatty fellow and a shorter guy with dark hair that never speaks. Sound familiar? Check out the flick for yourself.
  • The latest issue of SPIN magazine (the August Issue) contains a little blurb from Kevin, where he mentioned that about 10 thesis papers are written about him each year — One in particular was brought up, where a student discussed the “two Kevin Smiths” — One that appeals to the critics/studios, and the other that appeals to fans.
  • The Comics review section over at AICN recently posted reviews of Green Arrow #14 and Spiderman/Black Cat: The Evil that Men Do #1. A quick snippet:
If you’re a super-villain looking for a name, Onomatopoeia ranks somewhere between Coprophobia and The Merkin. Somewhere in the Marvel Universe, Typeface is laughing his head off. A bad guy who talks in sound effects: The very idea seems to reverse thirty years of political correctness, and descriptors like ‘Retarded’ and ‘Mongoloid’ flock to the concept like moths to an open flame. But, as impossible as it seems, the best adjective to describe Onomatopoeia is REALLY F*CKIN” CREEPY! This character is responsible for three of the most disturbing murders I’ve ever read in a comic book. They’re so horrific, and brutal, and raw that the images build a nest in your brain, settle in and refuse to stop chirping.
  • Finally today, a guy who runs a small Kevin Smith fan site in Mexico sent us the translations of the other Kev flicks released there:
Clerks – “Detras del mostrador”Mallrats – “Jovenes Modernos”Chasing Amy – “Mi Pareja Equivocada”Dogma – [not released in Mexico]Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back – “Jay y el Silencioso Bob”
