  • Yes, yes you do. Not only is it for an EXCELLENT cause (School’s Fine Arts Program), but check out the amazingly impressive lineup of readers. You can be assured that if these two webmasters were on the west coast, 2 of these 5 tickets would already be spoken for. Heck, we’d pay it just to see if McShane might utter the c-word. Here’s Kevin:

  • Bold Films is producing the directorial debut of “Chasing Amy”’s Joey Lauren Adams, entitled “Come Early Morning.” The film, which will star Ashley Judd, is set to start production April 26 in Little Rock,Arkansas. That reminds me, Joey made a great point during the Amy Q&A about just how much an impact the film has had on her life and career, considering it’s always the film she is remembered for in print. Cool.
  • JoBlo has their say on the “Catch And Release” news HERE. Moviehole has also run a blurb.
  • Small, but on topic: On the radio station Classic Rock 96.9 FM in Fredericksburg, VA one of their DJs, Dr. Henley Smythe, does a game every night around 6:30 called the “Mystery Voice” where he plays a sound clip from a movie or TV show and gives a prize to the first caller who correctly identifies the actor speaking in the clip. Last night the clip he played was Affleck saying “I’m just having a little girl trouble” in “Chasing Amy”.
