As we expected, the smart marketing folks behind “Zack And Miri Make a Porno” had the ad run last night during NBC’s comedy block, during the hilarious one-hour season premiere of “The Office”. Hope ya caught it. Very good product placement.

A classic “Mallrats” line gets dropped during Zap2It’s recap of this week’s “America’s Got Talent” episode, when discussing the operatic Neal E. Boyd.

Here’s a follow-up to yesterday’s Mention of “Clerks” showing up in Empire’s Top 500 of all time. “Clerks” came in at 361, and Kevin’s favorite film “A Man for All Seasons” was at 106. Askewer Matt Damon has the most entrants with 6 (“Oceans 11” – 500, “Bourne Supremacy” – 454, “Good Will Hunting” – 433, “Bourne Identity” – 365, “Bourne Ultimatium” – 234 and “The Departed” – 208), next up is Ben Affleck with 2 (“Good Will Hunting” – 433 and “Dazed and Confuzed” – 244). The highest placed Askew connection is Jason Lee at 142 with “Almost Famous”. Number one of all time? “The Godfather”.
