What does this mean for the disc’s current July 22nd debut? Probably that we won’t see it by then. If this list is correct, it sounds like a lot needs to be done before the disc can be mastered. Still, we’re sure it’ll be worth the wait, it just takes time to put these special editions together. We’ll keep you posted, and we’re sure that Vincent will, too.
- Well, after many of you speculated, the IMDB has now confirmed it: The “undefeated champion of Rome†that Maximus goes up against in the currently playing (and kicking ass) “Gladiator†is none other than actor/stuntman Sven-Ole Thorsen, best known by most of us as LaFours from Mallrats! A nifty connection, indeed. Thanks to all who wrote in about it.
- A new story from inside.com talks about Miramax’s latest TV projects, and mentions the Clerks series quite a bit. Here’s a snippet:
Regis Philbin came into the picture, and suddenly ABC didn’t need as many new comedies as first thought. Smith says that when he showed the completed episodes to Eisner and Iger, the fix was in.
â€They find the golden ticket, the stock is up and they’re tied for first. They don’t want to throw in the variable of the Clerks cartoon,†Smith says, adding with characteristic disdain, â€Where Miramax has gone afoul in TV is dealing with the parent company. Where’s that corporate synergy that’s supposed to be so finely tuned? It doesn’t fucking exist as far as I can see.â€
