Kevin is the guest on the latest issue of the excellent /film podcast (appropriately titled “/filmcast”), discussing “The Dark Knight”. The webmasters have been kind enough to post the entire cast, as well as JUST the Kevin segment for download. As a warning, Kevin DOES reveal spoilers for “The Dark Knight” in his chat, so listen only if you’ve already watched it, one of the greatest superhero/crime epics of our time.

Thanks to one of our commenters for letting us know that the quite cool Paste Magazine took notice of our story on the current NC-17 battle for “Zack & Miri Make a Porno”. Thanks, folks. If you’ve got a few web minutes to spare, go give their website a look.

A current poll at comingsoon.net (scroll down to the lower right of the screen) asks, among a long list, what flick folks are looking forward to hearing about at the San Diego Con this weekend. “Zack & Miri Make a Porno” is one of the many choices, so if you’re looking forward to it, why not go and cast your vote?

The Rock & Shock Convention website reveals a new appearance for Jason Mewes and Brian O’Halloran — They’ll be attending this year’s convention at the DCU center in Worchester, Massachusetts on October 10, 11, and 12. That’s all the info we have so far, but we’ll dig in and see what else we can discover. Typically, both guys appear on all days of a con, so we’re betting you’ll have a chance to meet the guys and get some signatures.

Finally today, this just in — Another reason to hit the San Diego Con this weekend! Let’s face it, you probably by now know if you’re going already. We’ve just gotten word that “Clerks” star Marilyn Ghigliotti will be in the house for her first trip to the Con this Sunday. She’ll be attending the kids film festival portion for a short film she did for a friend that wrote and directed the piece. Here’s the info for Sunday:
Marilyn loves to meet her fans and is always incredibly gracious. Stop by and say hello if you’re in the area on Sunday.

See ya back here soon with more news from this busy week and weekend.
