- Last update, we ran some details on an 11 AM “Reaper” screening that was scheduled for San Diego this weekend — That’s changed a bit. Now, Kevin will present “Reaper” in full at his Q&A session. So, you’ll be able to watch and react to the pilot episode with its director right there in the room with ya. Cool, eh? The panel takes place at the San Diego Comic-Con this Friday night, in Hall H. The schedule still has the room set for 6:15 until 7:45, which doesn’t allow for a ton of Q&A time after ther ~45 mintute pilot, so let’s hope that things are getting rescheduled to allow more time in the room. We’ll keep you posted if we hear differently.
With this highly-anticipated pilot episode, as well as the lure of a fantastic Kevin Q&A, this WILL be one of the hottest tickets at the con this weekend – We recommend you arrive, and line up, EARLY. Don’t miss this one if you have a chance to get there.

- We ran this back on the 16th, in case you’re feeling Deja Vu here — Kevin’s got some words (and a scan) in his blog today, chatting about the blog’s selection as one of the 20 best celebrity blogs on the web. Be sure and check the post, though, for details about his Q&A this Friday, a nice look at the cover of his new book, links to glowing “Reaper” reviews, and a reveal that some of the show’s cast MIGHT make it to the screening.
- Dean Winkelspecht of DVD Town reviews the HD-DVD release of “Mallrats”, giving it high marks and an 8/10 overall. Read the full review at his website. Keep in mind, this is a release of the Mallrats Special Edition version, not the Mallrats X disc with two copies of the film onboard. It seems more of a hybrid learning towards the original Special Edition. In particular, check out page two for details on all the extras.
- Playback posts a review of “Chuck and Larry” (yet again trashing it, though it did front the box office stats this weekend). In this one, Kevin is brought up twice. The first inexplicably compares him to the “frat pack”:
-
“Chuck and Larry is attempting to cash in on the new trend of movies coming from Will Ferrell, Steve Carrell, Judd Apatow, Sacha Baron Cohen, Kevin Smith and others that have raised the median age of the stars but still attract the 18 to 24-year-old demographic.”
The second condemns the movie for allowing gay rights groups to have a say in the editing:
-
“In fact, Sandler and James screened the film for gay rights organizations before the film’s opening to help dissuade any protests. Was Borat shown to the people of Kazakhstan prior to opening? Did Smith get an okay from Catholics before premiering Dogma? Did Apatow seek a stamp of approval while doing final edits on Knocked Up ? The answer to all of these is “no.” ”
