- What an honor! CLERKS has been nominated by the AFI as one of the 100 funniest American movies of all time. CBS will air a special in June 2000 celebrating the hundred winners. You can check out the other 499 nominees at the AFI’s official website. Let’s cheer Clerks on to victory!
- Wanna keep track of Dogma’s daily theatrical grosses? Look no further than the web. We like to use Showbiz Datafor the latest figures. Yahoo also keeps track of this sort of thing. As we mentioned above, Dogma trounced ALL the other flicks out there on Monday if you look at per-screen averages, taking in another .72 million bringing it up to 9.39 million. Take note also that this flick cost a TON less to make than the Joan of Arc movie, which is struggling at number 4 with only 6.85 million here in the U.S. Definitely something to be proud of.
- The Dogma website beat out all the other film sites with a 5 STAR RATING, according to the UK Magazine, Heat. Kudos, Ming & Co.
- Here’s a nifty one – This Dogma review, by “Thugs On Film”, is one you actually WATCH with Shockwave Flash. Neat. Check it out HERE if you have the means.
- Here’s another classic Dogma review (if you can call it that) of Dogma, courtesy of the Space Ghost website. The evil Zorak took a look at the film, and here’s what he had to say (We warn ya, though, he tends to get off on a bit of a tangent):
- Even the UK’s rock scene is plugging Dogma (and Clerks, too!). A weekly rock/metal magazine called “KERRANG!!” put Clerks was in the top ten rock n roll movies of all time & Dogma was mentioned as #4 in the top ten movies you must see:
STARS : Brian O’Halloran, Jeff Anderson, Kevin Smith, Lisa Spoonauer, Jason Mewes
Plot : Director Kebin Smith’s brilliantly observed tale of a day in the life of a bone-idle convenience store clerk & his foul mouth mate. Smith himself stars as the legendary Silent Bob.
Rock N Roll Connection : The ultimate slacker movie, with a prime alt-rock soundtrack.
Best Moment : O’Halloran’s horrified realisation that his girlfriend has “sucked 37 dicks”. Or the ill-tempered roof hockey game.
If It were A Band It Would Be : Screaming Trees
4. “DOGMA”
>From the creator of “Clerks”, “Mallrats” & “Chasing Amy” comes this tale of two angels, Loki (Matt Damon) & Bartleby (Ben Affleck) , who’ve been kicked out of heaven, & their futile attempts to get back in. The only way they can return to paradise comes with one unfortunate side-efffect: the world could end. Jay & Silent Bob are the stoned prophets who try to prevent them pissing off god, who is portrayed by the equine-faced Alanis Morissette. She is unlikely to go down on anyone in a theatre here.
Release Date: December 26
- Clerks gets the quote of the day today over at the IMDB:
There’s nothing more exhilarating than pointing out the shortcomings of others, is there?
- Finally today, here’s some fan art that we dug. Enjoy. We’ll catch ya next time.
