A New Blog Saga Begins…

  • Kevin starts what looks to be another multi-part blog series at Myspace and Boring-Ass-Life, titled “Super Pal”, which looks to be focusing on his wife Jen, and their anniversary (today, incidentally, HAPPY ANNIVERSARY YOU TWO!). Here’s a passage from the entry:
…Life comes down to moments, and in those moments, all the big decisions are made. In that particular moment, I could’ve either deflected a bit, putting into perspective for her all the practical arguments against trying to pull together a wedding on such short notice, or opt out of unnerving an already emotional, hormonal pregnant chick and simply acquiesce.

But as I gazed at the woman in front of me, belly-chubby with my impending spin-off, my mind raced through the whirlwind romance we’d endured and enjoyed over the previous year and change: the instant, love-at-first-sight connection, the passion, the knock-down/drag-out fights, the growing pains and the uncanny comfort and familiarity. And suddenly, a third choice revealed itself.

And therein lies the story of why, on April 25th 1999, I married Jen.

You can read part one (and the forthcoming part two, etc…) at Boring-Ass and MySpace! Get goin’!

Lots Of Wonderful Clerks II Ink!!!

  • You gotta love when MAJOR magazines are talking about Clerks II in a very positive way, with quite a few months until release. Let’s keep the positive press coming all the way though August, folks. Let’s take a rundown at the scans from the latest appearances:Premiere Magazine’s “Summer Preview” issue gives the film some kind ink with new quotes from Kevin including an interesting bit of info on the dressing rooms at the Mooby’s set.

Next up, here’s a wonderful scan of that excellent Clerks II writeup in Entertainment Weekly’s Summer Preview. Some great new quotes from Kevin, as well as Jeff Anderson on the topic of hats.

Rolling Stone magazine has a blurb about Clerks II in their “Under the Radar” section of upcoming movies. And they’re stoked to see it. Thanks, guys! Click the red thumbnail above to view it.

Finally, no scan yet (anyone?), but the latest issue of Stuff features a column called, “Things you need to be up to in 3, 6, 9 months”. Clerks II is mentioned in the ‘3′ month column, with a photo of Brian O’Halloran and Marilyn Ghigliotti from the original Clerks.

  • A website called ESL Notes features detailed documents of popular movies that consist of plot summaries, characters, and oddly, “an extensive glossary of vocabulary and various cultural references that even advanced ESL learners would often not understand”. You can view this type of document for “Clerks” HERE. Not sure what to do with it, really, but it’s a fascinatingly detailed work.
  • You can actually find the video report and photos on that Easter Bunny brawl (an annual News Askew occurrence) that we ran around Easter-time now at the Channel 2 News website.
