What’s Up With Stash West, Zack & Miri, & More…

  • Stash West returns to California in mere days, as part of the great Laser Blazer DVD store in LA. Certainly sounds like a match made in heaven to us — Now, a one-stop shop for your comics, Askew goodies, and the latest DVD releases. Wow. Kevin says:


      We’re re-opening Nov. 19th at our new location!

      Anyone who’s read “My Boring-Ass Life” knows that I’m a big, fat DVD junkie, and that my pusher is Ron, who runs Laser Blazer – the best DVD store in Los Angeles (if not the world). As you might’ve read in the last big blog entry, rather than see us close up shop on the West Coast, someone offered the Secret Stash West a new home. That someone was Ron. That home is inside Laser Blazer.

      So for the last two weeks or so, Ron’s been pulling out all the stops, demolishing a large section of his store to make room for the Stash…


    We’re betting they’ll plan something very special for fans kind enough to attend the grand opening — Watch this site for details on what’s to come, in just a bit over 2 short weeks. It’ll be the perfect chance to pick up some Christmas gifts for you and yours. Congrats to Stash West on the new location!


    • More on Kevin’s week over at the Myspace blog. This week, he reveals he’ll once again (alas) miss the chance to direct an episode of the awesome “Battlestar Galactica” due to the “Zack and Miri Make A Porno” shooting schedule. The Pittsburgh production office is now officially open, so let the production talk begin! No confirmed casting yet, though we can bet the floodgates are going to open any day now — Not just with the two leads, but some nice supporting roles as well. The guys manage to do very well with the faces in the flicks, we’re expecting some pleasant surprises.

    Myspace friends – Check out Kevin’s new Facebook account. Spread the word! For the uninitiated, Facebook is the new contender to Myspace — Pretty much the same services, just gaining popularity.

  • SModcast returns with another new episode today — Writer’s strikes be damned! Kevin returns with special guest Jason Mewes for a Jay & Bob-cast, another near-hour of entertainment and musings. While it’s unsure on what the schedule will become when “Zack and Miri” kicks into full gear, it’s nice to see Kevin keeping with the scheduile, the best reason to look forward to Mondays every week. This edition:


      SModcast 36: I’ll Stop the World and Melt with Mewes –

      In which a pair of relics from mid-90’s pop culture talk about getting old and boring, examine the conditions under which sexual congress with the breathing challenged might be acceptable, discuss the alternative brances of a family tree, and take “Paper or plastic?”to a whole new level.


    Note – SModcasts that have started airing on XM during the weekends have, for some reason, had some or all of the music contained in them removed. We assume this may be a rights issue. Next episode brings us SModcast #37, which we can’t help but think will have some sort of significance and surprises.

  • Props come in today from a fan who enjoyed Malc’s “Small Town, Gay Bar” via the new Netflix streaming media player — The quality’s as good as getting the DVD, but immediate and direct to your PC as a Netflix subscriber. Check out the technology, and Malcs acclaimed documentary, today!

  • We’re big Jason Lee fans around here, so we’re always happy to report new film work for the guy — Especially this latest one, “The Other Side”, which looks to be a fantasy film for adults , a big change from all that kid-friendly fare he’s been doing lately. The loglines, cast, and fantasy nature have us intrigued. We’ll keep you posted on the latest updates.

  • Speaking of stuff to watch DVD, check out the funny turn by our own Jason Mewes in “The Tripper”, now in stores for rental or purchase. The horror/comedy marks the directorial debut of David Arquette, and the first in a recent string of genre turns for Mewes.
