- “Drop Dead Roses” (starring Brian O’Halloran for those of you unfamilar with the flick) will screen at the New York Independent Film & Video Festival on Friday, April 4th at 6:10 PM, Village East Cinemas, Screen 6. The cinema only has 168 seats, so it’ll be a nice, intimate showing. We know director Jessica Hudson will be in attendance, and also believe Brian and the cast will also be hanging out for the showing. I’m even trying to swing a way to get up there to finally screen the flick (mostly because I think Jessica will kill me if I miss it AGAIN!). For more information on the movie, check out Dark Features, and for tickets and festival info, hit the Festival Site. Tickets are $10.
- Jay & Silent Bob show up in the most recent edition of web comic “It’s All Been Done”. Check out the final frame.
- The Varsity Theater on Lincoln Way (Ames, Iowa) is going to be having a special Midnight Showing of Clerks on Friday March 28th and Saturday March 29th. Go jump in line that weekend and check it out on the big screen!
- An absolutely beautifully framed, and incredibly rare Daredevil cover from Kevin’s run is on sale at eBay. It’s the one-of-a-kind, signed, cover from Guardian Devil #4. Too rich for these two webmasters, but if you’ve got the scratch, it’d sure look cool on your wall.
- The Syracuse NewTimes make a few mentions of Kevin in their Daredevil review (including “Mutants, Monsters and Marvels” among other things). Here’s the portion that deals specifically with Kev:
Smith plays the rumpled, bespectacled nerd to Lee’s chatty wisdom, with the interview filmed by director Scott Zakarin at the Hi De Ho Comics store in Santa Monica, Calif. Along the way, Lee reveals the essence of his craft, including his knack for creating “relatable” characters, amusingly philosophical pontifications (”With great power comes great responsibility” is the famous quote from Spider-Man’s origin) and his penchant for alliterative names such as Peter Parker, as a compensatory sop to his own faulty memory; there’s also a few secrets, like the reason why Bruce Banner was renamed David for CBS-TV’s The Incredible Hulk, because the network felt that “the name Bruce sounds too homosexual.”
Lee good-naturedly allows at one point, “I’m a big fan of me,” but he’s clearly having fun with such adulation (both Lee and Smith, who turn up for cameos in the Daredevil movie, started their friendship in Smith’s 1995 comedy Mallrats), and this video adequately represents one of the comics industry’s true legends.

- And finally today, Jay Mewes: Rock singer? Apparently, he’s been spotted practicing with a Rhode Island ‘hardcore punk/emo/rock/metal’ band called Transparent. Check out Jay on thier Pictures page.
