  • Last night on the show “Hot Ticket” (a film critic show that runs after SNL with Leonard Maltin), the best movies of the 90’s were covered. Clerks was one of the honored, with clips and some discussion of why it made the list.
  • Netflix (the online DVD rent by mail place) is carrying only the R-rated Vulgar DVD, for your information — So, if you plan to listen to the commentary or see the entire movie, this isn’t the way to go — Pick up a copy locally or find a rental shop that carries the unrated/Theatrical version.
  • Chasing Amy will be playing at the University of Minnesota this week at the St. Paul Student Center Theatr: Thursday, September 19th at 7:00pm, and Friday, September 20th and 7:00pm and 9:30pm. All shows are FREE and open to the public.
  • Jason Lee appeared on the Conan O’Brien show on Friday night (don’t worry, rerun details are just below). Here’s a mailed-in summary of his brief appearance:
He was the second guest, so he didn’t get much time, but he had a pretty good interview. He had a sweet t-shirt on the Conan made fun of. It had David Hasselhoff and Gary Coleman in front of Kit from Night Rider on it. They talked a little bit about Lee’s skateboarding days. And they eventually got to Stealing Harvard. Normal interview, no Askew talk. Lee still rules.

The interview replays on Comedy Central this Monday at 7:00 EST, Tuesday at 1 AM EST. You can also catch him on Last Call The Daily Show with Jon Stewart on the 17th, and Last Call with Carson Daly on the 20th.

  • Speaking of Lee, he hasn’t shot his Jersey Girl cameo scene yet, but confirmed to WPIX that he will be in just one single scene.
  • Of course Miramax is defending themselves against their latest attacks from the Catholic League.
