Commentary…

  • Howdy folks! We’ve reached what we like to call a “lull” of sorts around here. After a surprisingly busy past couple of weeks, it was only a matter of time that the news dried up on us for a little while. We don’t expect this one to last long, but rest assured we’re still here and keeping an eye on things, there just hasn’t been a heckuva lot to chat with you fine folks about lately. That’s cool, though, we took the time and did some housecleaning on the site during the downtime.

Had the chance to check out a sneak preview of Lee in “Dreamcatcher” — The flick is surprisingly good, definitely feels like a King book, and does get a bit rushed at times (the ending especially) but should be a lot of fun to see with a full crowd in the cinema this coming weekend. Recommended.

Anyway thanks for stopping in today, we’ve got just a few newsbites for this update, but we didn’t wanna go more than 2 days without checking in, so heeeere ya go. Oh, and Happy St. Patty’s day, folks, we tried turning the page green but it just looked awful, so we spared you the goofiness this year. Enjoy this normal, non-green update though:

  • The Clerks cartoon scores a mention at the official “Haunted Mansion” website. Surf HERE and scroll down to the bottom of the page. It really is a classic Clerks: TAS moment.
  • With things being as slow as they are, you may wanna surf over to the View Askew WWWBoard and skim some posts. Kevin’s been spending a lot of time there doing the Q&A thing, so it’s a great time to get that burning question you’ve got to the man himsef, as well as scan over his always amusing replies.
  • Enter to win an official Dreamcatcher poster at this Jason Lee page. The contest closes on March 28th.
  • Wanna know who’s involved with the next Project Greenlight film? Yet again, they’re putting together a rather impressive little cast:
