• A< href=”http://www.affleck.com”>Ben Affleck will star alongside one of our favorite actors, “Robert DeNiro, in “The Score”. He’ll play a thief who convinces veteran crook DeNiro to come along on one last job. With Frank Oz on board as director, we’re not sure if they’ve got comedy in mind (Though Oz is traditionally a comedic director), but we’re excited to see a team-up like this. The script’s ready to go, and filming begins on March 6th in Canada.
• Remeber when God was supposed to be played by Emma Thompson in Dogma, but she decided to pass because she wanted to have a baby? Well, here’s your closure.

• The issue of High Times magazine with Jason Mewes on the cover is now on newsstands. It features a 3-page story onMewes and the Stash. So check it out and maybe send us a transcript, duuuuuuuuuuude.
• Finally today, the Millenium Issue of Rolling Stone has little pieces of commentary from various entertainment people, and Kevin talked about his year a bit:

• Roger Ebert, while hammering that new likely to fail SNL flick “Superstar”, managed to give a positive nod to Dogma yet again today:

Thanks, Roger!

• “Jim Mullen’s Hot Sheet”, that fun little section in each Entertainment Weekly, even mentions Dogma in its write-up on Superstar:

• TheSpark.Com puts Dogma as one of it’s Top 10 list of flicks to see this fall:

• Salon.Com also has a Dogma story, it’s a big longer though so you can find it over on the Dogma RC press page.
• US Magazine also gives Dogma a blurb in their November issue, but it’s just a one paragraph plot synopsis.
• The BBC has also placed their own story covering the Dogma premiere and protests online HERE.

• Kevin’s got an interivew in Widescreen Review this month where he voices his opinions towards the DVD format. If anyone’s got a copy of the piece, please send it in.
• Happy 29th birthday to Matt Damon today. His performance in Dogma really gets more enjoyable each time you see it. Especially in that Mooby boardroom scene.

Have a great weekend!

• Well the weekend is HERE!!!!! And with it, lots more Dogma newsbites, just some little things here and there really. Some other NewsBites for ya as well. Nothing much else to say today really, for one I’m not feeling very loquacious. Go figure. Heeeere we go:

• The first issue of Talk Magazine, featuring “Clerks in ‘On the Perils of Cinema’” is on newsstands now. We don’t have scans, and suggest you buy the issue, but here’s a transcript in the meantime:

• I totally forgot about talking to Yahoo a couple months ago about the websites we run here, but lo-and-behold, the piece is now in their latest issue, and it’s got a couple of quotes from Kevin on his web presence as well as a couple from yours truly on our Dogma RC site. Here ya go:

• DVD Website extraordinaire The Digital Bits reports a tidbit on the Chasing Amy DVD today:

This is a good sign, and sort of what we’d expected. We’re afraid to say that Buena Vista is about as likely as Criterionto do a 16:9/anamorphic transfer (and chances of that are slim to none) so we’re not holding our breath. We’d assume thatVincent or Kevin would somehow have gotten involved if something like that was going down, too. All the same, it’ll beworth the dinero for the sweet extras — And let’s hope Kevin gets to make that documentary he mentioned, too.

• What’s Linda Fiorentino gonna follow up Dogma with? Here’s something hot off the wire:

• There’s a George Carlin box set on the way, containing old and previously released material. It’s called “The Little David Years” and it’s set for an October 19th release. 7 discs, including six classic LP’s, [FM & AM, Class Clown, Occupation: Foole, On The Road, Toledo Window Box and An Evening With Wally Landow] plus a seventh disc simply reffered to as “Unreleased Material.” We’re big Carlin fans, and we’re sure this’ll be a way cool set.
• Looks like Kevin will be in The Big Apple tomorrow again (or, most likely, he just hasn’t left yet) for a taping ofthe Sundance Channel show titled World Cinema Today. It’s happeneing at THE IMAGE GROUP/MTI STUDIOS, 885 Second Avenue @ 47th Street (Entrance on Northwest corner of 47th Street and Second Avenue) in NYC at 12:00 noon. We assume that it’seither limited or closed to the public, but if you’re in the area you may wanna swing on by and check into it.

• Finally today, Jay & Silent Bob appear in the upcoming Mojo Mechanics, issue #3 (You can order it through Previews now) , from Syndicate Publishing. The guys behind it are big View Askew and News Askew fans, and sent us the first two books…Fun stuff. Definitely worth checking out, even if you’re just collecting books with Jay & Bob references.

• The daily updates continue…When there’s this much news, there’s never time for a day off! We got ya covered though. Actually, compared to the past couple of days, today’s fairly light, though we DO have some shots from the premiere and the post party (courtesy of Ming), a couple more articles and NewsBites, but no HUGE news. Enough to make it worth the stop, though.

I’m closing on my house a week from today, and the MAJOR move is taking place the weekend after that, when myself, Chris, and our other roomie Steve lug all of our stuff into our 3 respective new places. We’ll be changing internet service providers then, too, but expect that to be transparent to all of you. There just may be a day or two without an update and a delay in e-mail responses as we get settled in again. It’s been a fun ride at this apartment, but it was just time we all moved onto our own places. The actual moving of some of this stuff is gonna suck, though.

By the way, the broken clips from yesterday have been fixed, so try them again! Sorry for any inconvenience.

Alrighty then, let’s see what we’ve got today:

• We’ve never been known to carry a camera around to take pics of stuff, and just never felt comfortable asking celebs if we could have our pics taken with them, so you probably noticed the lack of original shots from our latest diary from the Dogma Premiere on Monday as well as our stories in the past. Luckily, Ming was along with his trusty camera and has some exclusive shots for us today. Ming’s got a couple pics with him and some of the big names there, including A classic with him sandwiched Ben and Salma. There’s also a shot of the Lowe’s electronic marquee displaying the Dogma logo (cool stuff). And yes, there’s even one of us in there (it was taken in the back of the VIP area, not outside of a dressing room at The Gap as it might appear). Chris is on the left, Brad’s on the right, FYI. Click all these thumbs for larger, clearer versions. We think Ming’s got more, too, but may be using them as part of a special page for the View Askew site. Not sure what he’s got in store at this point.

As for the Red Bank showing at the end of this month, we’re not sure if we’re coming in for that or not. It’s not that we wouldn’t LOVE to see Dogma again, and meet some of you as well, it’s just that we’re getting low on days off from work due to all of these weekday events, plus with the busy month of moving and all, well…It’s gonna be tight. We’ll see, though. Thanks to all of you that asked about it, though, we’ll keep ya posted. Glad so many of you were able to get your tickets.

• We’ve FINALLY got a transcript and scans of the wonderful piece in Interview Magazine, thanks to Chris Reaves for doing the legwork on this one. Enjoy the interview and the pics, including one of cute little Harley!

• Here’s a few stories too small for article pages, but we thought worth a read anyway. The first comes from People Online, the second from AnotherUniverse…

We’re also added these stories to Dogma RC, along with a new review…So make that part of your daily visit, of course.
