  • The great Liz Phair has revealed, in an interview at the Mesmerizing fan site, that she indeed has composed and recorded a new song (while on tour, no less), for the Jersey Girl film and soundtrack! The song, called “You”, will be featured in the film. If you’ve yet to check out Liz’s new self-titled CD, do so immediately. It’s appeal is infectious. It’ll even make a great stocking stuffer. We’re very pleased to hear that Liz enjoyed the film so much that she’s recorded a tune just for it. Hopefully we’ll have a little taste of the tune for ya here soon.

  • Mallrats inaction figures are now shipping from the Stash — If you’ve yet to get your set, watch for it soon, things are getting caught up after a huge demand. Watch your mailboxes and doorsteps!
  • Say it ain’t so, Matt! In an interview appearing at Dark Horizons today, Matt Damon reveals that Project Greenlight has been dropped by HBO, and that the series is currently being shopped around to A&E and Bravo. With their reality TV taking off, Bravo’s a good bet (note that Affleck appears in their Celebrity Poker show starting on Tuesday the 2nd, by the way). Still, with censoring happening on the show, it’ll never be the same. Let’s hope that HBO reconsiders, as the show was incredibly addictive and a highlight of the TV week.
  • Clerks yet again comes up on a Something Awful page in a reference — See if you can spot it. Hint, it’s toward the bottom. There’s a Clerks: TAS reference on this page as well.
  • Just a quick mention: Photos and details on the Dave Mandel (he of Seinfeld and the Clerks cartoon fame) flick “Euro Trip” are starting to make the rounds at AICN and Dark Horizons. Fans of Buffy’s little sister Dawn will particularly dig the AICN story. Mandel co-writes and co-directs the film.
  • Comicon PULSE has some snaps of Jay Mewes singing in the Comic Book Legal Defence Fund’s karaoke fundraiser. Check them out HERE and HERE. About $6000 was raised for the charity at the event. Way to go, Jay!
