- Clerks has been voted the number 1 indie film of all time over at IFCTV. Congrats!
- Kevin appeared on A&E last night, during their Biography segment on Matt Damon. In it, he spoke about how he cried on the can after reading “Good Will Hunting” the first time & how he got it sold to Miramax when Castle Rock told Matt and Ben that, if they could find someone else to buy it, they would sell it.
- This unearthed bite appears in the October 5th issue of Avertising Age:
Kevin Smith, director of the creatively crass Gen X classics “Clerks” and “Chasing Amy,” has finished his fourth film, a potentially controversial take on faith called “Dogma.” But Smith says you won’t see it for at least a year. Don’t blame divine pressure, says Smith, pointing to another supernatural power: “Star Wars Episode One – The Phantom Menace,” due next May. “How can it not roll over everything?” Smith told Adages. Look for “Dogma” to hit box offices next fall.
- And here’s yet another meeting of 2 Dogma cast members:
Another scintillating snapshot form the GQ even was of Chris Rock hanging out in the Green Room sipping Evian and watching Game 4 of the World Series.
When Salma Hayek and George Clooney came backstage to pose for picures, Rock pulled aside a black curtain and said, “Nice a–.”
He was not refering to Clooney.
As soon as Hayek, who was wearing a stunning clingy white dress, finished with cameras, she sought out Rock. “What did you say to me?” she teased. “I heard you.” The two hugged, and then Hayek asked Rock, “How come you never call me? You never call me. How come you never call me?”
The happily married comic didn’t answer at first, but as soon as Hayek trailed away, Rock called out, “I’m coming to L.A. soon. I’ll call you.”
Sure he will.
- Finally today: Anyone else think that Kevin should have been in Entertainment Weekly’s “Power 101” issue this week? A lot of you seem to think so. Send them a polite, competent note to letters@ew.com with your thoughts.
