  • Douglas Fir’s HUGE Vulgarthon 2000 website is now online, and features almost 60 original photographs from the event. Be sure and check it out HERE (or visit our own Vulgarthon wrapup page for his pics as well as stories and pics from us and many others!)
  • DVDFile has printed a small piece on the Dogma DVD now that we’ve got a release date. Nothing really new here, we’ve covered this stuff for quite a while now, but here’s a nice summary of what’s to be expected. We’ll have more on this exciting disc very soon:
Double dose of ‘Dogma’

Well, for all you Kevin Smith fans that have been patiently waiting (and waiting) for that 2-disc Dogma special edition announced earlier this year (when the original movie-only version was announced), it seems your wait may almost be over. On 1/23, Columbia is planning to release this new version, with heavy involvement by Smith and cast, as well as producer JM Kenny, who produced the excellent Mallrats DVD. This new Dogma set includes a 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen transfer of the film and a 5.1 Dolby Digital soundtrack on disc one, along with a new audio commentary with Smith, Scott Mosier, Ben Affleck and “the two Jasons”, Mewes and Lee. Disc two features no less than 50 minutes of deleted scenes, an all-new documentary by Kenny on the film (also running nearly an hour), production notes, talent files and the trailer, along with “some other surprises.” Hmmm, I sense…Easter Eggs! With the same creative team behind Mallrats at the helm, this certainly sounds like a good set to be sure. (Controversy + Special Edition = Cool DVD!) Retail is $29.95.

  • Attention Jeff Anderson fans! If you’d like to see JEFF in a soon-to-be-released film before anyone else, you can go to PoyaPictures.com and order your copy of “LOVE 101.” Jeff plays PHIL, an alcoholic Resident Assistant, who’s job it is to watch over the other yahoos in a college dormitory. We’re expecting a screener shortly, and will present a review of the flick soon.
