  • The Jen Saves Ben videogame continues to make the news. This one comes from the Washigton Post:
Ben and Jen Got Game

How do you thank America’s hottest new couple for starring in your movie? Director Kevin Smith is giving newly engaged Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck a custom-made video game to show his appreciation for their being in his recently completed film, “Jersey Girl.”

According to the New York Post, the game “Jen Saves Ben” features an animated Lopez, trying to find and rescue Affleck, who has been kidnapped and chained to a warehouse wall.

“J. Lo has to get him back but doesn’t know where he’s gone,” said Brad Graeber of Texas-based Powerhouse Animation Studios, which created the game. As she karate-kicks along, Lopez encounters an animated, ray-gun-toting Smith as well as Matt Damon, cast as an evil robot. She gets three tries to save her fiance without being killed, and if she succeeds, the couple kiss. The game plays a soundtrack of, big surprise, Lopez’s music.

  • R.S.V.P. international release news: First up, the DVD in Australia — Nov 6th was the official launch date but that may have been the window to sell to video stores with shipment later as we haven’t heard anyone finding it yet. No idea of what features are on the disc, but the director did make available some deleted scenes and a documentary hosted by Jay and actor Daniel Joseph. Let us know if ya spot it! RSVP should also hit the DVD shelves in the UK in late January of next year, and Germany some time in the spring, completely redubbed into German — Jay Mewes speaking German. Should be a trip. Stay tuned.
  • And it seems we have one of these every single year…

  • Congrats to the team behind the “Clerks: Uncensored” DVD — It took 3rd place in the “Best DVD – TV Series Presentation” category over at TheDigitalBits.com’s Bitsy Awards.
  • The Asbury Park Press ran a nice article this weekend on John Kenneth Muir’s “An Askew View” book. You can now buy the book through the Stash, or online and at bookstores everywhere.
  • We’re receiving a lot of reports on that new Australia DVD box set of Clerks and Chasing Amy on DVD. The discs are the exact same as their US counterparts. All that’s needed down under now are decent editions of Dogma and Rats!
  • And finally today — Affleck’s been joked about as having a big head before, but this is just ridiculous! Catch ya next time.
