- Some nice, high profile mentions in the latest ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY, with Jessica Alba on the cover. On page 62, in the books section, you can read a review for green arrow, which received an A-. Very high marks! Even cooler, on page 70, under internet there lies a section of “heatwave” (a list of all the hot summer movie sites). It plugs Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back with the likes of Tomb Raider, A.I., Pearl Harbor, and others.
- Anderson Jones of E! Online reports that Hollywood has taken notice of the red hot sales on the newly relaunched DC Comics title Green Arrow. The comic features a revamping of the character by filmmaker Kevin Smith. He’s quoted as saying “film producers are already sniffing around.” Could be interesting to see where this one goes. Thanks to E! Online and Comics2Film.

- Finally today, some View Askew obscurity, Mallrats nemesis Michael Rooker’s in the news, From the latest issue of “New York” Magazine (3/12):
Having starred in “Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer,” Michael Rooker has been in some of the darkest scenes in pop-cinema history – but even he draws the line when asked to share the spotlight with a buck-naked Jean-Claude Van Damme. While shooting the sci-fi thriller “Replicant,” Rooker was called upon to give Van Damme’s character a full strip search. After some consideration, however, Rooker decided it was best to go against the script and make the bulging Belgian keep his undies on. “It was great working with him,” Rooker tells us, “but as far as a strip search goes, I was – and remain – unwilling to share the screen with Jean-Claude Van Damme Junior. There aren’t many screens in the U.S. that can handle the magnitude of both Jean-Claude and his Junior.” Let the nightmares begin.”
I believe we speak for everyone when we say…Thanks, Mike. Then again, we doubt many folks will want to see a new Van Damme flick, anyway. Enjoy the weekend, folks.
