- Great reviews continue to come in, and our Forums contest has the J&SBSB review database growing by leaps and bounds. If you want to check out a review, including the big new Upcomingmovies.com four star review (WATCH FOR SPOILERS THOUGH), you can find them all over there!
- That Philly Inquirer story we mentioned yesterday is now online! You can read the entire text HERE. The article is a compilation of stuff but features Kevin quite a bit. Check yesterday’s news for the full story as well.
- The NPR appearance will happen tomorrow! Kevin will be on their air tomorrow at 1 PM, scheduled for Public Interest with Kojo Nnamdi. The writeup:
1:00 – Kevin Smith
His first movie was financed on credit cards. It earned millions at the box office. Kevin Smith’s intelligent, yet disenfranchised comedies, like “Clerks,†“Chasing Amy,†and “Dogma†are well received, but often spark controversy. Find out why during a conversation with filmmaker Kevin Smith.
- Here’s an interesting Total Film “Letter of the Month†from July that we got a scan of. The View Askew board sure does make the rounds, doesn’t it?
- Ali Larter was on Craig Kilborn late last week and did plug J&SBSB along with her other projects, and about what she had coming up. It wasn’t a full-blown appearance JUST for Jay & Bob though, look for more stuff along those lines soon, though.
- This small snippet from FHM magazine was sent to us as a scan, and it’s already too late to be transcribing, so check out the scan for the text. Notice the comment under the heading ‘FHM says:’ “Kevin Smith is still the best kept secret in the movies. Get in on the gag before it becomes old hatâ€. Good stuff.
- We received a report today from an Akron/Canton Comicon attendee, where Phil Hester, Ande Parks, Matt Wagner, and others were in attendance. The guys signed Green Arrow books and more, hope some of you made it in! Also, a pre-prepared drawing of Oliver Queen that Wagner did for a fan went for $200. Green Arrow is definitely back in a big way. Finally, the guys confirmed that at Wizard World in Chicago, they will be having a Green Arrow Panel on Saturday with Kevin. Don’t miss that one if you’re attending. First prints of Green Arrow #1 are already going from $10 to $15 bucks at the show, they’re likely to rocket up even higher. Wow, that might be one I’ll hafta have Kevin and the gang sign sometime.
- In an article on Cinescape Online last week, Kevin’s reaction to Mike Allred and Peter Milligan’s “X-Force†(Marvel) was quoted:
“Milligan and Allred have delivered the best work of their careers to date – which is saying a lot. If you’re not reading this book, you’re not just missing out on a great comic book; you’re ignoring one of the most well-observed scholarly analysis of media-manipulation filtered through a pop-culture lens ever committed to the page.†– Kevin Smith
Sounds like one you should check out! Your local comic shop should have some copies or be able to order ya up some.
- Theres a vote for a program called “100 greastest movies†at the UK TV channels website. There isn’t a Kevin Smith Film on the list, but there’s a sugestion box at the bottom…Why not throw Clerks or something in there? You can put your suggestions in HERE.
- Speaking of UK stuff, Mallrats will air on BBC2 in the UK next Saturday night at 1am, showing in widescreen no less.
- If for some reason you haven’t bought Amy yet, we received a report that the DVD of Chocolat has a $5.00 off coupon Chasing Amy’s disc.
- Finally today, got a couple more fan-submitted J&SBSB-based wallpapers for your desktop. Give them a try, you can find the full collection and tons more in our SCOOPING THE MONKEY downloads section.
