- In trying to customize movie posters to appeal to computer geeks, Something Awful parodied Chasing Amy by calling it “Chasing Amigaâ€.
- Lots of Matt Damon in the news today, oddly enough, even though he’s not promoting anything new here in the States, he’s doing quite a bit of press overseas. He’ll appeared on Johnny Vaughan’s chat show in the UK today, talks Bourne Identity in Empire UK and of course refuted that ridiculous Good Will Hunting 2 rumor, citing that what they did in “Jay & Bob†was enough. Dark Horizons quotes: “We did that on Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back, and that’s as far as it’s gonna go. The first movie has a definite end.â€
- Kevin and the Eden Prarie mall are mentioned in the new book “A Year at the Moviesâ€, written by former Mystery Science Theater 3000 cast member/writer, Kevin Murphy (a.k.a. Tom Servo). Kevin wrote a book about his experiences attending movies for a whole year and the book is absolutely hilarious. In week 9, Kevin mentions that he is seeing a film in the Eden Prarie mall which is where Mallrats was filmed (Murphy called the film a “disaster†though, sheesh we though the guy had taste!). He then goes on to mention that Kevin’s film, Chasing Amy, fit into a category of film titles like Saving Silverman and Finding Forrester.
- The Vulgar DVD is now available in stores everywhere! A new review from JoBlo gives it a so-so rating of 6/10, citing O’Halloran’s performance as a highlight. A mixed review from Moviehole also was recently posted.
- A group of high school students are planning to paint a bus with a View Askew theem, taking it on a US tour to Red Bank and other famous View Askew sites, then on a route across the country that matches the route Jay & Bob took in their final film.
