Don't know what I'm talking about? Don't you watch television?

Kevin Smith's web site greatly exceeds my expectations. (That is to say, I never expected a web site, and it's pretty cool, to boot.) According to the site, t he Criterion Chasing Amy DVD will come out in April. And the special edition Dogma DVD in May.

Jay and Silent Bob's Secret Stash (the official Kevin Smith merchandise outlet) will supposedly soon feature J&SB action figures. It currently has an autographed special edition Clerks DVD, an autographed special edition Mallrats DVD (featuring over an hour of deleted scenes), J&SB: Chasing Dogma trade paperback comic collection (also a limited edition hardback), and bunches of t-shirts and posters.

Kevin posted to his own bulletin board about protesting Dogma (dated Nov 13).

affleck.com, the official site of Ben Affleck. (What's with the 3D plot? Is Ben really into math?) Check out the bulletin board which Ben actually reads a nd posts to. Ben recently posted how much he liked his preview of the Clerks animated series, due to release in March.

According to the site, the short film Ben directed, I Killed my Lesbian Wife, Hung her on a Meathook, and Now I have a Three-Picture Deal at Disney ( IMDb link), is now being distributed by Atom Films. And here it is.

Clerks animated series, you say? Here's an old press release on the series, and "pre-air" episode capsules and spoilers, both from the horse's mouth.
