• Just a correction that a few people wanted us to clarify: In that Entertainment Weekly poll, Kevin was named “Best Director of the Future”. Still an outstanding honor. Quite ironic that the word “future” is there, though, since we think his flicks are already among the very best, and Dogma puts him over halfway through his planned tenure in the filmmaking world.
• Ben Affleck & Matt Damon will appear on MTV’s clay gore fest Celebrity Deathmatch this Thursday, the 11th, just in time for Dogma. Let’s hope the guys don’t get beat up TOO badly.
• Jay & Silent Bob’s Secret Stash has hit the bigtime with an actual billboard in New Jersey! That’s right, coming down Rt. 35 South on the Middletown/Red Bank border, you’ll spot an ad along with the familiar circular Jay & Bob Stash logo, with the words “Yo, brown eye!” at the top. The billboard also includes directions to the place. Hopefully it’ll bring even more fans and customers into the place. The shop’s definitely worth the trip. We’re almost tempted to drive the 3 hours each month to get OUR comics. Almost.
• After a long hiatus, Affleck.Com is back online, and Ming’s even managed to get the entire Playboy interview with ‘ol Ben himself online. There ya go, now you guys & gals too embarrassed (or too young) to stroll up to the counter and buy the issue can get it at the site. Of course, now you don’t have an EXCUSE to buy the issue either, dagnabbit.
• Kevin’s first run may be over, but the latest issue of DareDevil shows the gang’s not forgotten. Their names all appear in graffiti on a wall, including “Jay+Bob” and “Kevin was here”.
• Dark Horizons posted a summary from a scooper who saw Kev’s Q&A in Atlanta the other week. Most of the stuff was old news or info that can be found in our own Summaries section — But Kev DID have this to say about some future projects:

• He only wants to do 10 films total and that he only has 3 ideas for future films currently so it might turn out to be only 7 films total that he directs. The one idea he revealed was an adaptation of Mage.
• Jay and Silent Bob will probably be in one more film and then they will only appear in the comics and the Clerks Animated Series.
• Vulgar may hit video sometime in 2000.

We’ll be back when there’s more to tell, until then, enjoy your weekend (the last one before Dogma is unleashed to the masses!).
