  • Kudos to Jeaux Janovsky for his fanart to Kevin after watching “Too Fat For 40”. Nicely done, sir.
  • Canada’s “Treasure HD” channel advertises a weekend of Star Wars documentaries airing on the channel — You’ll catch a quote from Kevin towards the end of the ad, where he mentions the classic comedic nature of the R2/D2 and C3P0 pairing.
  • Kevin was attached to a project based on comic book “Preacher” many years ago…Turns out, using the word “attached” might even be too strong. For the record, here’s the most detail we’ve seen on it:

      “Preacher was never “set up” at View Askew with a $25mil budget. http://t.co/CY2WSx5 At one point, Garth & Steve grabbed a beer & burger with me & @SMosier at the Tribeca Grill, where we said “Use our names for whatever our names are worth.” Our names were worth bupkis. @SMosier & I pitched it to BobWeinstein, who said “I don’t get it. This is a comic book? The Crow I get. This? No.” And that was the extent of our involvement with Preacher: a beer & burger & a no from Bob. It was Rachel Talalay’s flick; me & just fans of the book & the creative team of Garth & Steve. James Marsden was never involved during this period (which wasn’t even a period, so much as a three day stretch). So strange to watch a fiction become fact. Happy to have Twitter as a means to correct misinformation.”

  • Take a visit and bookmark Jason Mewes’ new Web site, http://jmewes.com/, where he’ll be posting daily “Mewesings” (video journals), appearance info, and more. The Stark Toons animated intro is also worth a watch.
  • We’ll leave you with this quote from “Hit Somebody” shared by Mr. Smith:

      Coach said “Buddy, remember your role: the fast guys get paid, they shoot & they score. Protect them, Buddy, that’s what you’re here for.” With all due respect to RedState, Hit Somebody is all I can think about lately. Top shelf, glove-side in 2012.

    The goal is for a Toronto Film Festival preem of this one in the Fall of 2012 — We’d sure love to be there as Kevin’s last ever debuts to the world, much like we were lucky enough to be for “Dogma” back in ’99.
