• Today’s most popular submission, by far — Word leaked today that Kevin will be lending his voice in a small “cameo” role for the 2007 CGI “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” flick. While the turtles themselves will not (wisely, we think) have celebrity voices, many famous folks are lending their vocal talents. Kevin’s will be that of a “greasy-spoon chef” according to a USA Today article :

Sarah Michelle Gellar (The Grudge, and TV’s Buffy the Vampire Slayer) has signed on as the voice of April, the human researcher who serves as the Turtles’ tech-services worker and mother figure. Fantastic Four’s Chris Evans is the hockey-stick-swinging Casey Jones, and Clerks filmmaker Kevin Smith also voices a cameo as a greasy-spoon chef.

Lots of other press surrounds the voice casting announcements today. You can find similar articles at the following sites : Dark Horizons, IGN, Moviehole, Cinematical, Superhero Hype.

• The director of Affleck’s “Smokin’ Aces” (Joe Carnahan) has started a blog about the project, with some rejected movie posters.
• We’re not sure what language this is but it appears that some foreign territories might be importing that super-cool region 1 Clerks box set. Once the ones at Best Buy stores are gone, we assume they’ll be quite colletible.
