- It’s a very quick mention, but a high-profile one from CNN’s Nick Nunziata today in an article on the best comedy has to offer today. In
it, Kevin is named in a short list of modern comic talent in the film industry:
Quote on Smith: “Add to that group of mercurial talent the genre-bending comedic work being delivered by the Coen Brothers, Larry David, Kevin Smith and Wes Anderson and the still strong output of Sandler, Carrey and now old-school industry heavyweights such as Zucker, Farrelly and Brooks, and you have what arguably is the strongest assembly of comedic virtuosity the movie business has ever seen.â€
Quote on Carlin: “On top of that is …the still bright careers of legends such as Bill Murray, George Carlin and Steve Martin.â€
Read the whole piece, which is quite good, at CNN’s site.
- Here’s a new piece of coolness for ya today. The Ant Farm, a company which specializes in those catchy animated film titles you see at
the top of most flicks these days, has snuck a GREEN HORNET motion in the middle of their Motion Graphics montage at their official site.
Chances are this was just done as a concept piece since the film is still far off, but you may start seeing it on display at trade shows to tout the film’s
title and get word out there. You can watch the full clip, which is pretty neat, at their site, or just check out the Green Hornet logo by clicking the
local copy we put HERE. - For those interested, DVD Answers has just added the quite different Region 2 DVD artwork for Jersey Girl
as well. - There’s View Askew and Kevin mentions coming up in the September Playboy and they’re both great ones. First up: They review only about 4 DVD
release from the month in the issue. Jersey Girl’s one of them, and we hear it gets an excellent review. Also, in their article on outlaw comedy, while
Kev or any the films didn’t make the main article, both Kevin and George Carlin did make the list of “25 Greatest Outlaw Comedy Peopleâ€. Carlin comes in
the top 10, with Kevin at #19, among such respectable company as Lenny Bruce, Hunter S. Thompson and many more. We’ll of course have actual scans or copies of
these once they’re published, but as always, we wanted to let you know as soon as we knew. See ya next time!
