Archived update from Cigarettes & Coffee, run by Greg Mariotti & CJ Wallis from 1999-2005

Well, it looks like the Kevin Smith/Magnolia story got big enough that Entertainment Weekly picked it up. There is not much to the story, and that's good, because I have had enough of it. Now, let's talk about more important things.... 

Hope you caught PTA on Late Night with Conan O'Brien last night. It was pretty short and sweet, but it's good to see him and the film get some more exposure. It was nice to see Tom win the Golden Globe Award, let's hope that will equate to Oscar Gold this time.  

In case you missed it, the official Magnolia Shooting Script/Companion Book is out in paperback. There will be a Hardback coming out as well. I'm still trying to get the latest information on the Jon Brion score being released on CD. I will keep you posted. 

True West will open in New York on March 2. For those that don't remember, it's the play with John C. Reilly and Philip Seymour Hoffman. The official site is up and running so take a look.

Archived update from Cigarettes & Coffee, run by Greg Mariotti & CJ Wallis from 1999-2005

Here's a picture of the recently released Magnolia Screener DVD which was sent out to Academy voters. Of course, I would love to get my hands on one, but so far I have had no luck.

I have also heard that there may be some Seduce And Destroy "infomercials" that are circulating on late night TV. If anyone has seen one, knows when the next one is going to be on, or can tape it for me, please let me know! 

As people see this film repeatedly and pick up new things, there are many new "secrets" being noticed. In addition to all the 8:2 references, and the many active phone numbers, there are many website addresses that link back to the Official Magnolia Page. Here are a few:

www.wdkk.com  
www.seduceanddestroy.com
  www.tameher.com

There are a few readers of the site that are working on "Secrets of Magnolia" type web pages. I will let you know the link when they are up and running.

Aimee is scheduled to perform live on the net at vh1.com, here are the details:

JAN 27, 7:30 p.m. EST - LIVE STORYTELLERS WEBCAST FROM SUNDANCE FILM FESTIVAL

Aimee Mann is also scheduled to perform on Conan O'Brien on February 18th. Hopefully she will be performing her Oscar nominated song "Save Me"!
