- The Degrassi news is big in the press, especially in Canada. Here’s another piece, this one from CTV, which also names the NOGGIN
channel as the US counterpart to air the episodes. This one dropped some new interesting details:
“It’s the easiest job in the world because I have to play myself but I play a fictionalized version of myself where I’ve been successful,” Smith quipped Wednesday during a photo-op visit to the north-end Toronto studios of Epitome Productions where Degrassi is shot. “I pretend I’m a little different version of me.”
The droll director posed with cast members and happily accepted an “official” Degrassi High lettered cardigan sweater, which he promised to wear to bed with his wife.
The script’s pretext for the Degrassi visit is that Smith is shooting a new film, Jay and Silent Bob Go Canadian, in which the characters require a high-school diploma but no school in the U.S. will accept them, so they come to Toronto.
We can’t wait. Might we even see a surprise appearance by Mewes? Wouldn’t be Silent Bob without him, would it? Should be great. Read the full story
over at CTV.
- For the interested, here’s a press release on the upcoming “director’s cut” of DAREDEVIL:
extended fight scenes, comic banter and back-story, the extended DVD allows action fans to wade deeper into the blind vigilante’s dark world than ever
before. The brooding protector of Hell’s Kitchen comes fully loaded, with a host of extras to complement the new scenes and added material, including
audio commentary by director Mark Steven Johnson and producer Gary Foster, as well as “Giving the Devil His Due: The Making of DAREDEVIL DIRECTOR’S
CUT,” an all-new featurette.”
The disc hits DVD shelves on November 30th.
- Here’s a quick little nod to Mallrats (ironically on the 9th anniversary of its release) in the first panel of today’s strip at this
site.
- And finally today, one View Askew fan, a gravedigger and stone engraver, took it upon himself to create a Buddy Christ
granite engraving.
Don’t worry, we’re told that nobody will be sporting the Buddy Christ into the afterlife – this engraving was just on a granite tile and not a full
headstone. But it will be mounted in his LAN party room (FITHLAN is the name of the LAN group) to remind everybody that death and dismemberment may be
fun, but that Buddy Christ is the real life of the party.
