- Webmaster Harry Knowles has two kind shout outs for his latest DVD picks column for the month, over at Aint It Cool News:
ZACK AND MIRI MAKE A PORNO
The title was ZACK AND MIRI in the copy I bought at Target – but on AMAZON they seem to have the full title. Or is that an outdated graphic? I don’t know, but god damn this is a funny movie. Though upon reflection of the Blu Ray… I found myself wondering… Is it just me, or does the film feel awfully short. I never really look at running times on films. I just don’t obsess on that sort of thing, but I really wanted a longer film here. I think it is that I loved these characters and wanted to spend more time with them. Kevin done good.
CLERKS II (Blu Ray)
I know most people tend to feel CHASING AMY is Kevin’s best film, but honestly… I love CLERKS II. It is just fucking great. Rosario? OHMYGOD! She’s just the girl you must love. And PILLOW PANTS? Genius.
- “Zack and Miri Make a Porno” takes the “Best Porn Star Gone Hollywood” award, the very first one in the list, in Mr. Skin’s 2008 Anatomy Awards. The entire list is quite good, though you’ll need a Mr. Skin membership to view any actual “evidence” of the winners. The website specializes in specific tracking of nudity in film and TV.
- It’s hard to believe that “Watchmen” is just two weeks away from theaters. Wow. Entertainment Weekly cites Kevin’s excitement (even though he’s seen an early cut) for this one to arrive:
Behind the stage, indie-movie icon Kevin Smith, a.k.a. the Most Famous Fanboy in the World, parks himself in front of a closed-circuit TV, a happy grin on his bearded mug. “You have to understand, I’ve been waiting for this moment for years,” says Smith. “This is it, man. This is the pinnacle. You have no idea how f–ing pumped I am.”
We’ll be there opening day. And probably again on Saturday. Clear your schedules to see “Watchmen” the weekend of March 6th. Trust us.
- Filmgoer Pete sends us a scan of his ticket stub, proof positive that “Zack and Miri Make a Porno” is now playing everywhere in Australia!
- Catch comedian Joshua Sankey, who recently resurfaced in a funny “Zack and Miri” deleted scene, debuting a brand new act this Saturday, February 28th, at Broadway Comedy Club (Downstairs Room) in NYC.
- Keep your eyes on Quick Stop Entertainment, as Kevin confirms that he and Scott recorded a new episode which should debut TONIGHT (Sunday) at some point. Episode #77 is what you’re looking for.
- Enjoy the Oscars tonight — 2009 was a cool year for flicks, dramas especially, a lot of great performances and films in the running. Should be a good show.
