- Retailers are reporting to us that the wonderful Mallrats Special Edition DVD is no longer available for order, which means it’s likely
been discontinued! No word yet on if a new pressing is scheduled, though we HIGHLY suggest you order a signed copy from the Stash if you don’t have one
yet. Get them before they’re gone!
- Here’s a blurb from Movieline.com’s recent article on “Hot Young Directors”:
Kevin Smith
Outsider Debut: Wrote and directed the sharp slacker comedy Clerks, and then mistook the laughs to mean that we actually wanted to see the same character (that, not incidentally, he plays), over and over again.
Insider Trajectory: Became Harvey Weinstein’s pet low-budget indie comedy director. Happily directs himself in a backwards baseball cap for his loyal cult of dozens of fans.
Up Next: If it wears a cape he’s worked on it. Reported involvement in a Green Hornet remake and Fletch sequel. Previously reported involvement in a Superman remake.
We’d Like to See: Jay and Silent Bob in a remake of Midnight Cowboy.
- On a recent episode of Penn and Teller’s excellent program titled “Bullshit”, they were contradicting the bible and Teller uses a Buddy Christ statue on a
comical recreation of Noah’s Ark. Good stuff. Gotta love those guys.
