  • A small promotional Jersey Girl site has been set up at Miramax, touting a winter 2003 release for the film. Don’t forget, we’ve got continuing coverage at Exit 37 and full archives in case you missed anything from the film, and expect the site to speed up drastically as release draws closer.
  • Apparently Kevin Michael Richardson, who did the phony Morpehus voice in the Clerks cartoon did such a good job, he’s also doing a voice in the newly released Animatrix short, Final Flight of the Osiris, now in theaters with Dreamcatcher. We were unable to verify this but a scooper swears it’s so.
  • UK’s Maxim magazine didn’t have such good things to say about Stealing Harvard, but cited Lee’s Mallrats performance as his best to date:
Stealing Harvard Tom Green, Jason Lee

Jason Lee was a superstar in Mallrats, but has never filled his potential because he keeps making charmless wastes of celluloid like this. Due to a flippant promise he made a few years back, he finds himself having to find $30,000 to finance his niece’s Harvard education. Cue lying to his fiancee, hooking up with hapless loser Tom Green, and lots of crazy plans to try to raise the cash. And it’s not funny. At all.

  • During a quick interview with Salma Hayek on the Oscar pre-show, a bar at the bottom of the screen said she has also appeared in “Wild Wild West” and “DOGMA”! Nice little mention there.
  • In a recent episode of MTV UKs series “Screenpaly”, Corey Taylor of the band “Slipknot” chose “Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back” as his favorite film, explaining why he loves it and Kevin’s work so much. Rapper Lil Bow Wow also cited the film as one of his favorites in the video store currently on the MTV US show “Moviehouse”.
  • Finally today, we usually don’t run all this Fark stuff, but this one’s pretty funny — The latest contest had folks messing with a picture of Wolverine from X2. In this shot, a familiar face shows up in place of the dude with the knives. Catch ya next time!
