- Brian Lynch dropped us a line yesterday to clarify something about the Film Threat bit we posted last update. When we first read it, we thought they were talking about Ben & Kevin as people, when they really were more referring to their “status in Hollywoodâ€. Still ridiculous, as every film site on the internet seems to be anxious for VA5 and Affleck’s got about 10 projects lined up, let alone “Pearl Harborâ€, probably the biggest film of next year. Just sounds like more of Film Threat’s silly name calling going on.
- View Askew 5 and Kevin himself continue to perform very well at the Hollywood Stock Exchange, that addictive game that these two webmasters wisely keep away from (else we may have to sacrifice sleep). Folks who play report both stocks are soaring, a very good sign that the Kevin and the new flick are more popular than ever online.
- Here’s a brief excerpt from a chat with Spawn creator Todd McFarlane. Seems he’s a fan:
Saxman444 – Since film-maker Kevin smith is dedicated to promoting comics in his films, do you enjoy his movies?
Todd_Mcfarlane – If we go back to the kinds of movies I enjoy, he has real people talking about comic books, not necessarily super heroestalking about things.
Todd_Mcfarlane – Chasing Amy is probably his best example
- Yet another obscure (but scooper found) reference to Kev’s flicks appears in the latest Scientific Journal. In it, they cite micro budgeted features such as “Clerks†and “El Mariachiâ€, shot on film cheaply before the advent of digital video. They also cite the internet’s role in things, since View Askew has always had a very good web presence:
Anyone with Internet access can now purchase a film online and have it delivered through the mail on Video Cassette or DVD. Independents from Kevin Smith (CLERKS, CHASING AMY) to the team that made THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT have already demonstrated the power of the Internet to build awareness of movies playing in theaters.
- What’s Mallrats babe Claire Forlani up to these days? Seems she’s got a new film lined up called “Anti Trust†which just wrapped filming. Read more details HERE. They’ve also got a clip up of her discussing the flick.
- Couple quick mentions around the web of Kevin today: A Clerks reference is worked into the daily rant over at the IGN website, Kevin’s a choice in Big G Media’s “Favorite Comic Show Booth Babe†poll (don’t ask us) which is located HERE, and the Buddy Christ was spotted at a humor-oriented website called The True Meaning of Life. Catch ya next time!
