Re: Kevin Smith Film Fest
When Mallrats was released I was at University in the US. A week before the release the local paper ran a contest to win tickets to an advance screening. You had to use the work snootchie-bootckies in a sentence, best sentence winning. Long story short... I won advance tickets, a mallrats CD, Mallrats baseball hat, mallrats stickers, and... A FULL SET OF MALLRATS TRADING CARDS! (which I still have).

RE: Kevin Smith Film Fest
Title: RE: Kevin Smith Film Fest While we're off-topic...Jason Lee (Mallrats and Chasing Amy) a severely under-rated actor or does my love for the Kevin Smith films cloud my judgment, the closest I've seen him to real fame is a 5 minute appearance in Enemy of the State which really doesn't seem right, what else has he been in? Oh, and as Stan Lee appears in Mallrats there's no relation there at all is there? Finally, I have yet to see Dogma as I was so disappointed with Chasing Amy (except the first 20 minutes before the love Story kicked in), any good? Where does it rate in Kevin Smith repertoire?

Re: Kevin Smith Film Fest - Jason Lee
what else did Jason Lee appear in... Since we're talking about Jason Lee... He was in another Spike Jonez feature which was untitled. Airwalk (J. Lee's shoe sponsor) produced a video to promote Airwalk which was again filmed by Spike. This one came out in '95. It was only distributed to Airwalk team riders, Airwalk Retail Stores, and special industry people. It was about 13 minutes long and featured J. Lee hitting tennis balls over a net, alone. J. Lee wore a smart tennis outfit of a white shirt and much to short shorts (especially for those days). J. Lee's big acting break reportedly came through his then girlfriend. If you've seen Dazed and Confused, he dated the red-headed girl who drove around with the two not-so-cool guys looking for the party out in the woods. She reportedly introduced him to the right people. The relationship seems to be fact, but the acting break might be a rumour. And yes, Jason Lee was my idol for about 4 years (until it became apparent that he had quit skating in order to act). And yes, those in the know call him simply, "J. Lee". -H.
