  • Newsweek ran a print, yet edited, version of Kevin’s beautiful piece on George Carlin. Scannage right here. His official website, georgecarlin.com, also posted his final wishes which were made back in 1990. Rest in peace, George, and thanks for all the laughs and entertainment over the years.
  • Kevin’s high praise for the late Heath Leadger’s work in “The Dark Knight” is cited in this CNN article which suggests he may win an Oscar for the role. Kev’s bit:


      “Heath Ledger didn’t so much give a performance as he disappeared completely into the role,” filmmaker and lifelong comics fan Kevin Smith said on his MySpace blog after seeing “The Dark Knight.” “I know I’m not the first to suggest this, but he’ll likely get at least an Oscar nod (if not the win) for best supporting actor.”


    Can July 18th come any sooner? Our prediction - Movie of the summer. We can’t wait.

  • More chances to see Brian O’Halloran in “Brutal Massacre” this month — The Laemmle Sunset theater is playing the film on 7/11 and 7/12 in Los Angeles for midnight screenings. It’ll also play at the Texas Frightmare weekend, though we don’t have a time or exact location at this time.
