- Here’s a nifty little tidbit for today — The Roadside America website, which chronicles the more offbeat tourist attractions in America, has a feature on Jesus & God statues around the country…And an all-too familar one’s in the spotlight (though his name’s slightly wrong):
“Buddy Jesus Statue, Red Bank, NJ
The Buddy Jesus statue, as seen in the movie “Dogma,†now greets visitors to Jay & Silent Bob’s Secret Stash, a comic book store in Red Bank, NJ, frequented by fans, stars and near-stars of Kevin Smith films. One of the shorter Messiahs on our list, he is certainly the biggest wiseacre, and in the worst place for the Lord to find you on Judgement Day.â€
Roadside America, by the way, is the name of the self-proclaimed “World’s Largest Miniature Village†that’s found right downthe highway from us, about a half hour from here.
- The UK Dogma website’s gotten a facelift with a slick new cover page. Check it out HERE.
- The official website for The Boiler Room, the new stock-broker flick where Affleck has a memorable cameo, has now opened.
- And speaking of the UK, we heard from a few fans over there who were lucky enough to see Dogma yesterday. All were verypleased. The new issue of Heat magazine, just on newsstands, also gave Dogma 4 out of 5 stars, calling it “An ensemblesatirical/religious/fantasy/comedy/drama/road movie/adventureâ€, “It’s unlike any film you’ve ever seen. But in a good way.â€, “Alate contender for comedy of the yearâ€. Look for a full review on RC soon. They’ve also got a Q&A with Affleck, same oldstuff really…Though he does say “It [Dogma] has the same appeal as Pulp Fiction: people will want to see it because it’s innovative and ground-breaking.â€. And by the way, they also voted Kev’s new pal Jonny Vaughan as the best person on TV.
- Alanis is scheduled to appear on the great Charlie Rose interview show thisFriday (though the schedule is tentative). Check their webpage for the latest.
- Finally today, a small nod to Kevin and Harley Quinn on the Daily Radar…
Harley Quinn from Batman: The Animated Series: A character so cool that Clerks director Kevin Smith just named his daughter after her, Harley has been a comic book fanboy favorite since she first appeared in the Batman cartoon several years ago. Maybe it’s her tight fitting outfit; maybe it’s the fact that she doesn’t actually have any superpowers; or maybe it’s simply because she’s crazy enough to hang with the Joker. We don’t understand it, but we do know that this is one awesome model, created by Wrath and Agent. Grab it from Polycount.
