Congrats to “Zack And Miri Make a Porno” star Seth Rogen, who recently won ShoWest’s “2008 Comedy Star of the Year” award. Thanks to the wonders of YouTube, you can now watch his entire acceptance speech. As always, Seth remains humble, takes control of the room, and gives a very funny speech.

The always on top of it /film, FirstShowing and Cinematical have caught up with blurbs on the latest news on “Zack And Miri”, Kevin’s release date announcement and a few details. Nothing new there, but we always think it’s cool to see what the other sites are saying out there.

Last night, the LOGO channel ran Malcolm Ingram’s documentary “Small Town, Gay Bar”, which we missed mentioning here. We certainly do apologize for that. While we believe the channel censors content and runs ads, this was the first time the film will have aired on non-premium cable, as far as we know. Sorry if you missed it, though hopefully you’ve all checked out the DVD by now of this View Askew-produced gem. Most cable and satellite companies are carrying the LOGO channel now, geared towards the gay and lesbian community. If we see the flick show up in the local listings again, we’ll let you know.

And finally today, a little late, but EASTER EGG ALERT! In the latest issue of “Angel: After the Fall” (#5), the new Angel comic book series being written by Brian Lynch, page 2’s top panel features a demon Jay and Silent Bob hanging around a block of stores. This is the first known View Askew easter egg to show up in the Buffyverse anywhere, so kudos to Lynch for having them work it in! Check out the shot above. Catch ya back here soon.
