Chasing Amy (Kevin Smith) OK, so Clerks is hands down the more important film, but Chasing Amy has always been my personal favorite of Kevin Smith’s catalogue. It’s funny, it’s heartfelt, and it focuses on my other passion besides film (comic books, not lesbians). Ben Affleck does some of his best work and Joey Lauren Adams is absolutely adorable, but Jason Lee steals the show as Banky. Years before America knew him as Earl, Lee had me in stitches with his way-too-candid confessions and observations here.
  • Ok, so we know Kevin’s long gone from the project, but now word comes in that supposed star Zach Braff has exited the Fletch Won project according to Hollwyood.com. Looks like this one’s stuck in development hell for now.
  • Here’s more on that proposed flying car in Texas — photos this time! Will they one day make Dante and Randal’s monologue a relic of the past? We’ll keep following the flying car until someone actually makes one work.
  • And finally today, wanna be in a Brian O’Halloran movie? That horror comedy we ran the piece on last week, “Brutal Massacre” needs some extras — They just added a scene that they’re shooting THIS WEEKEND, so they need extras to play people going to a Fangoria convention. It’s an outdoor shoot (the hotel parking lot) and it’s unpaid. The shoot will be at:

The Hyatt Regency Wind Watch
1717 Motor Parkway, Hauppauge, New York, 11788

At 11 am. this Saturday, shooting for about four hours.

This is the description of who they’re looking for: “Look like they’re going to a Fango convention, but no logos, band pictures, or movie tees (nothing copyrighted). Anything Halloweenish is fine.” We do not believe Brian is in the scene, though we could be mistaken. Still, a cool chance to get yourself some screentime. Check it out if you’ve got a few hours to spare this weekend. See ya!
