- We missed Kevin’s update in his string of posts, but he did indeed confirm that Part 2 of the New Jersey Roadside Attractions will air on The Tonight Show on November 14th. We assume Kevin will be on hand to introduce and give a couple of chuckles, as always.
- Upcoming Pay TV Askew: Clerks will be on HBO Comedy this Thursday night(or Friday morning) at 1:10 AM. Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back will air on Showtime 2 this Thursday night at 11:35 PM. Check your local listings, times vary depending on your zone.
- There’s been another of them-thar Buddy Christ spottings: This time on the just-released “Rush In Rio†concert DVD. Among the toys and other doo-dads displayed on top of the band’s equipment was our familiar-looking fellow. He’s between Alex Lifeson and Mr. Potato Head in the screen-grab you see here.
- Alright, here’s the weird, wacky, and probably totally false (but you never know) update for today, courtesy of Australia’s “Herald Sunâ€, which does go a bit bonkers sometimes. Be sure and read to the end:
Q: What does Quentin Tarantino have in store for us after the two “Kill Bills�
A: While on the promo trailer for “Kill Billâ€, Tarantino has been talking up his World War 2 drama “Inglorious Bastardsâ€, which was recently given the green light for shooting in mid-2004 after many years on the drawing board. The plot centres on a group of convicted US soldiers saved from execution by accepting a suicide mission behind enemy lines in central Europe. No casting moves as yet, but the buzz keeps throwing up names like Johnny Depp, Adam Sandler, Heath Ledger and “Jay & Silent Bob†legend Jason Mewes.
- Boy did “Box Office Prophets†ever get this right:
For people who want another mind-numbing piece of crap this week: Planet of the Apes (Special Edition) (2001)
The best story about this film belongs to Clerks director Kevin Smith, who, on his “An Evening with Kevin Smith†DVD, goes into detail about Tim Burton’s reaction to Smith’s noticing that the ending to Burton’s Planet of the Apes suspiciously echoes the ending of a comic book Smith wrote a few years prior. That story, nowhere to be found on this DVD, is quite literally the most interesting and entertaining thing involved in this movie. It is a terrible, terrible film. Rather than purchase this DVD, I recommend “An Evening with Kevin Smith.â€

- And on a somber note: Elliott Smith, who was nominated for an Academy Award for his song “Miss Misery†in Good Will Hunting, has died at age 34 of an apparent suicide. Deepest sympathies to his family, friends, and many fans.
