Netflix is now confirming the February 3rd release date for “Zack and Miri Make a Porno”, so it looks like the film has officially moved up to that date for DVD and Bluray release along with the “Clerks” Bluray. Final specs should be on the way to our inbox any day now, so stay tuned for the full announcement. Both Amazon’s US and Canada sites are also confirming this date. Above is a version of the “coservative” art for the disc, indicating that they may actually release two different covers for the disc, one using the word “porno” and one without it. That’s a first. Now we just need a press release…

Jason Mewes is scheduled to appear at Sound Academy in Toronto, ON, Canada to host a concert titled the “FU Awards”, sponsored by local rock radio station Edge 102. The show takes place on February the 5th at 7:00 PM (Thursday). Tickets are just $15 CDN. The details:

Hey speaking of Mewes and Netflix, those of you who subscribe to their excellent service and have an Xbox 360 or other instant streaming device take note — You can now stream the Jason Mewes/Paris Hilton flick “Bottoms Up” for instant viewing. No waiting, just click and go. While the film hasn’t enjoyed the best reviews, you’ll get to see Mewes out of the Askewniverse and even a quick Kevin Smith cameo.

Ben Affleck and Stan Lee appear in the recent documentary “Bigger, Stronger, Faster”. One of our scoopers took a moment to YouTube the two clips together, featuring Affleck’s after-school special freak out and Lee chatting about superheros and bulk. Worth 2 minutes of your time especially if you never saw the classic roid-enraged Affleck moment. Catch ya later…
