  • SciFi Wire, the official news site of the SciFi Channel, votes “Clerks” as the best “Star Wars” spoof in history. Yep, even beating out “Spaceballs” (No. 2):


      1. Clerks, film, available on DVD. Perhaps the most eloquent Star Wars geek on record, director Kevin Smith crafted dialogue about the issue of contract labor on the second Death Star in Star Wars: Episode VI–Return of the Jedi. Collateral damage or deserving collaborators? The debate rages on.

  • Don’t forget, folks, Crazy 4 Cult 2, this Friday at Gallery 1988 in Los Angeles. This site runs a few more images from the hundreds they’ll have on hand this Friday, expect a big crowd but some fantastic art up for grabs. Man would it be cool to hang some of these works of art on the walls.
  • We’re only running this as a newsbite as rumor control — According to the often error-prone IMDB, the actor Johann Benét has been attached to “Red State” for a 2010 release. Considering the last news we heard from Kevin was that they were still in the final stages of getting all the funding they needed, we don’t think anyone’s being cast just yet. Plus, we also believe if things work out, we’d see the flick late in 2009, not 2010. Consider this rumor crushed unless we let ya know otherwise.
  • And finally today, okay, so this is SORT OF the flying car - Looks like you can own it for $150k next year. And it won’t even cost you any body parts or being violated by deviant scientists. Nice. See ya next time.
