- The nifty home video website My Video Store ran a nice piece on Dogma as well as the Clerks DVD controversy (which kindly included a few links back to us), and we thought you may want to check it out. You need to be a member to access the “Video Guru” section where the story is, but membership was free and only took a second. Here’s a tidbit from the story:
MGM is not the only studio weighing the all-important moral question. The aforementioned Disney seems to have its hands full of controversy 90% of the time and right now the hot potato is in the form of Kevin Smith. On the heels of the Dogma fiasco, Disney announced that it was reneging on its announcement of Clerks on DVD. The DVD version, which is rumored to contain the same materials that were previously released on laser disc, was denounced supposedly for audio commentary that discusses, in detail, a particular sexual reference made in the movie. A grass-roots campaign spearheaded by Kevin Smith supporters in conjunction with NewsAskew.com, a veritable Internet shrine updated daily with anything and everything related to Kevin Smith and his films (nay, his universe), led an e-mail assault on Disney and it appears that they were successful. A Disney response to the mailings says that Disney is “99% sure” that they will release Clerks this summer.
I also know that Dogma RC is a slight bit behind…Surprisngly since the big Dogma press onslaught a few weeks back, things have totally gotten quiet. The site WILL be updated more regularly as release approaches and Cannes news rolls in. ‘Til next time…
