- The UK’s “Broadcast†magazine reports this week that their Channel 4 has acquired the rights to “Reaperâ€. This can be partially seen if you search on their website for Reaper – although you have to pay for the full story. Essentially, they acquired it via an output deal they have with Disney ABC International, which gives them the first pick of just TWO shows a year. It will be screened on C4, and it’s sister channel E4, starting in 2008.
- To continue with the strangeness surrounding “Everybody’s Deadâ€, Brian Lynch just posted a link to a cryptic website that was purchased to promote the film — nothing but a tagline there right now..
- Film Babble Blog cites Stan Lee’s Mallrats turn as one of their “20 Great Modern Movie Cameosâ€:
17. Stan Lee – MALLRATS (Dir. Kevin Smith, 1996) The Spiderman creator and Marvel Comics main-man has done cameos in many comics adapted or related movies (SPIDERMAN, THE HULK, X-MEN, FANTASTIC FOUR, etc.) but this one set the standard for the Stan Lee cameo. He plays himself so he’s treated as a God by comic book collector geek Brodie (Jason Lee) and as such he rises above the base level humour even when saying lines like “he seems to be really hung up on super heroes’ sex organs.â€
- There’s a “blooper reel†for Underdog (Featuring the voice of our beloved Jason Lee) posted up in high-res Quicktime via this link. Give it a few minutes to start streaming, especially if you’re on a slower connection.
- “Chasing Amy†gets name-dropped in this marvel.com article about what an inker (a.k.a. “tracerâ€) does. Yeah, depth and shading!!!
- More love for “Amy†in this scan from the Times late last week – Their cinema section featured an article talking about the death of real romance in todays cinema. After the article, various Times journalists vote for the 20 most romantic moments on film. Nice to see they have some taste.
- And in other Stan news, Entertainment Weekly’s Popwatch blog reports some really nutty Lee news — Much like his animated backing of Pam Anderson’s little-seen but not terrible Stripperella show, he’s now got a new horse in the stable – Paris Hilton. Yep, you heard us, an animated Paris Hilton. Sigh…
- And finally today, boy do we love this one…A Syracuse basketball franchise may very well become known as….wait for it…The “Snow Ballersâ€. Hooo-boy. Stew on that one and we’ll see ya next time. Have a good weekend!
