  • It’s official: “Evening Harder” has indeed arrived a FULL MONTH EARLY in Australia! If you’re there and would like to send us a review of the disc, certainly let us know what you think — We still haven’t gotten a review copy from Sony to watch Stateside. We’re jealous!!! The disc arrives here on November 28th.
  • Kevin and other writers (such as Alan Moore and Stan Lee) wrote a series of extremly short (6 word!) stories for Wired magazine. Kevin’s entry:
Kirby had never eaten toes before.

  • Kudos to the Weinstein Co., who will begin placing Anti-Smoking ads as public service announcements at the start of of the DVD releases of all their films. “Clerks II” will have the distinction of being the first release with the PSA on board. This from the press release:
The Weinstein Company is the first studio to proactively offer to embed a classic truth(R) campaign ad in one of its DVD releases, beginning with one of its most popular – Clerks II, scheduled for a Dec. 5 release – and we applaud them for it. Our hope is that this bold move sets a trend for future Weinstein Company DVD releases and with other key decision makers in Hollywood. It is a simple way to prevent thousands of youth from smoking, and can ultimately reduce the impact of tobacco addiction and premature death that accompany it.
