This is pretty neat. I just pre-ordered the Dodgeball DVD from Amazon, and I received immediate access to a deleted scene from the movie. I'm not really into pre-ordering my movies, but I couldn't resist this offer. The DVD comes out December 7th.
This offer is good from Thursday, September 16, 2004 until Tuesday, December 7, 2004. The deleted scene will be available in your "Digital Locker" until Wednesday, December 15, 2004.
From MTV News:
"Polyphonic Spree's Tim DeLaughter has written and recorded the score for the upcoming offbeat comedy "Thumbsucker" (featuring Vince Vaughn, Keanu Reeves and Benjamin Bratt) and may perform it at the movie's premiere at the Sundance Film Festival (January 20-30)."

Just about everyone has seen the deck of playing cards with celebrity mugshots on them, right? Well now you can get a wall calendar with those famous celebrity, "hello dad...I'm in jail!" pics. From the article, it looks as if Vince will be Mr. April. Nice, eh? Order yours today! I think I'll pass.
Found this on Empire Online.
All I can say is, that is one cool poster.
And here's the accompanying article:
What Lovely Ensembles!
Be Cool and Ocean's Twelve posters online
15 October 2004
Could John Travolta, the Lazarus of Hollywood, be about to hit the comeback trail again? With his latest film, Ladder 49, sitting pretty in the US Top 10 currently, it looks like the bad memories of the last couple of years Äì The Punisher, Basic, Domestic Disturbance Äì could be banished forever.
Of courses, he needs to follow up Ladder 49 with something equally solid. It could be A Love Song For Bobby Long, a drama in which he co-stars with Scarlett Johansson, and which has already been attracting Oscar buzz. But more than likely it will be Be Cool, the long-awaited sequel to Get Shorty, in which Travolta reprises the role of cool-as-ice debt collector-cum-movie producer-cum music hotshot, Chili Palmer.
And, just to reinforce our suspicions, the poster for the movie turned up online today in a super-size version, and it's one of the most striking poster images we've seen in a long time. It showcases a slimmed-down, consummately slick Travolta surrounded by a who's who of movies and music Äì Uma Thurman, Vince Vaughn, Danny De Vito, Harvey Keitel, Christina Milian, The Rock, Steven Tyler, and Andre 3000 from OutKast (or Andre Benjamin as he's credited here) Äì and more than lives up to the movie's title.
ÄúJohnÄôs a superstar, an icon,Äù director F. Gary Gray told Empire. ÄúYou put him with Uma Thurman, Andre 3000, The Rock and Steven Tyler - thatÄôs something IÄôd want to see.Äù
He's not wrong Äì we can smell the hit from here.
Meanwhile, the teaser poster for a movie with arguably an even glossier cast also debuted online today. The Ocean's Twelve poster is a spiritual successor to the oh-so-cool 'legs eleven' one-sheet that ran prior to the release of Ocean's Eleven. However, the fact that the legs of Danny Ocean & Co. are clearly running, not gliding, this time might suggest a touch of urgency, even desperation, awaits them in the Steven Soderbergh sequel?
But it's the credits block that warrants most attention. Clooney, Pitt, Damon, Garcia and Roberts were prominent last time around, but joining them above the title this time are Bernie Mac (Frank Catton), Catherine Zeta-Jones (Interpol agent Isabel Lahiri) and Don Cheadle (Basher Tarr), who went entirely uncredited last time. The message is clear: more stars, more glitz, more action, more cool.
I see that the SNL episode Vince hosted is going to be on E! next Thursday (and Friday). Set your VCRs and TiVos!

This has to be a mistake. The Beaufort Gazette (via Nando Media) for some reason thinks that Be Cool is coming out on October 31. IMDb shows 2005, and MGM still doesn't have an official website up (although they do have the domain reserved: www.becoolmovie.com). Does anyone know an official release date?
More info...Rotten Tomatoes also has October 31st as the release date. Wassup with that?
Here's another photo from the set of The Wedding Crashers. Here, we have
Owen Wilson, Jesse Henecke, and of course, Vince. They all look so gosh darn happy, don't they?
Found on IMDb. Thanks again, Heather, for passing this along!
Lookie here! A very thoughtful person named Brad found my site recently and noticed I had a "bunch" of Vince Vaughn pictures. Well, he thought I needed a couple more so he sent me these which were actually taken by his friend on the set of Wedding Crashers! Wow! What a treat. Brad says about Vince: "He was even spotted with owen wilson at the bars not too far away having drinks with everyone and chillin. I heard hes a pretty cool guy to hang with."

Thanks again, Brad.
Alberta, webmistress of vincevaughn.it, found this cute story on the Internet and passed it along to the info-seeking fans on the IMDb Board. The rest of the article with more celebrity sightings can be found here.
Exerpt:
"I once bumped into Vince Vaughn at the Hard Rock Casino in Las Vegas. No biggie. Lots of celebrities go there. But then a few months later I bumped into him (literally) on the streets of New Orleans. We did that little 'pedestrian shuffle' where you move one way and then the other person moves the same way. After about two tries we finally got it right. He moved left, I moved right. As he walked past he smiled and said, 'Thanks for the dance.'" 墜琦atrina Sawyer, Houston
So, has anyone else had a close encounter with Vince? Please do share!
Butterball (aww, how cute!) on the Vince Vaughn Network Board provided the link to this interesting article about the quotable dialogue that defines a great movie, such as Swingers.

By Phil Villarreal
ARIZONA DAILY STAR
What most defines a great movie as it etches its place into history are its words, not its images.
¬Ý
It's the unfair advantage dialogue has over visuals when it comes to getting the word out about a picture. The heartbreaking, rib-rattling relationship comedy "Swingers" (1996), has an imposing advantage over most other recent films vying for recognition as classics.
¬Ý
Like "Gone With the Wind," "Casablanca," "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" and "Jaws," "Swingers" is blessed with a brilliantly quotable screenplay, one of the most electric and insightful ever written. No film gives a better insight into the mind of the single male as he braves the rocky waters of the dating world.
¬Ý
Written by its star, Jon Favreau, "Swingers" is based on his own struggles as a stand-up comedian who uprooted from his comfortable Queens, N.Y., neighborhood to move to Los Angeles. There, love and success don't come as easily as advertised.
¬Ý
Space doesn't allow a recap of every iconic line from "Swingers," but try a sample platter:
¬Ý
óè "You're so money and you don't even know it."
¬Ý
óè "I want you to remember this face. He's the guy behind the guy behind the guy."
¬Ý
óè "Who's the big winner tonight at the casino? Huh? Mike, that's who. Mikey's the big winner. Mikey wins!"
¬Ý
óè "You take yourself out of the game. You start talking about puppy dogs and ice cream, and, of course, it's going to end up on the friendship tip."
¬Ý
óè (After scoring a goal in a hockey video game.) "It's not so much me as it is Roenick. He's good."
¬Ý
óè "Our little Mikey is all growns up. He's growns up and he's growns up and he's growns up."
¬Ý
I could go on for an hour, and often have, in bull sessions with friends, flinging quotes from the film back and forth, which I'm sure have been, and continue to be, replicated in thousands of giddy groups of pals in love with the film.
¬Ý
"Swingers," though, is much more than a compilation of snappy one-liners. It's a heartfelt story of love among friends, the pain of lost romance and the hapless urge that makes a broken heart long to recover something, anything that could pass for romance.
¬Ý
The characters struggle through their existences by playing video hockey, cruising parties and dreaming of the big showbiz break.
¬Ý
It must have been cathartic for Favreau to hoist his intensely personal pain onto the page, and it's a happy irony that a tale of struggle of the underworked actor led to wild success. Before "Swingers," Favreau was best known for a small part as Sean Astin's chubby friend in "Rudy."
¬Ý
The success of "Swingers" turned Favreau into a nice-guy-makes-good icon, which he parlayed into a directing career.
¬Ý
It also propelled his friend and co-star, Vince Vaughn, into a regular on the big-budget comedy circuit. Vaughn established his screen persona in "Swingers" as Frank Sinatra-emulating Trent, the wise-ass, know-it-all chauvinist who understands so much about how to pick up women, he could write a book. And he did, sorta.
¬Ý
"Swingers: The Swingers Rules and a Screenplay" details Trent's banal, yet oddly effective rules of dating and relationship. Among the foremost: "Wait two days to call, otherwise you might scare off a beautiful baby."
¬Ý
Trent is the swingingest of singles in a Los Angeles completely enthralled by the mid-1990s swing-music fad. He gets so many phone numbers, sometimes he'll tear one up right after he gets it, just to show his pals he doesn't need every set of digits he gets.
¬Ý
Under Trent's wing is Favreau's Mikey, who's still stung from the breakup of his girlfriend of six years, even though they've been apart for six months. Mikey is a slave to his answering machine, desperately hoping his ex will call him back.
¬Ý
Trent and Mikey's fellow Queens transplant, Rob (Ron Livingston), do their best to console and rehabilitate Mikey in road trips and late-night heart-to-hearts at dilapidated cafes. So complete is Mikey's obsession with keeping tabs on the answering machine, though, that one night in Las Vegas, Mikey breaks up one of Trent's potential sexual conquests by barging in and demanding to use the phone.
¬Ý
Trent and Mikey's foray into Sin City makes for the centerpiece of the film, in which the men wear suits into a run-down casino, hoping to be treated as big shots. Mikey, gambling with his rent money, loses $200 on one hand of blackjack - "always double-down on 11, baby," Trent insists - and Trent works his mojo on a cocktail waitress, dazzling Mikey with his prowess.
¬Ý
"That's the Jedi Mind (trick)," Mikey says in awe, and Trent eats up every bit of the reverence.
¬Ý
Throughout the film, Mikey tries clumsily to replicate Trent's moves and bumbles horribly. In a fever of desperation, Mikey leaves several consecutive late-night messages on the answering machine of a girl he's just met. The self-humiliation, while hilarious, also penetrates the heart with palpable pain.
¬Ý
As Mikey gradually discovers Trent's secrets will only work for Trent, and maybe not even as well as Trent thinks they do, the film's message is the hidebound "be true to yourself" line. The final movement, in which Mikey flirts with the Heather Graham character, using self-deprecating honesty infused with a newfound confidence gleaned from his friends, ripples with an exuberant thrill.
¬Ý
The epilogue details Trent's cockiness backfiring, in front of a grinning Mikey, who is forever cured of his answering-machine slavedom. It swings the movie on a note so smooth, Sinatra would approve.

Oh, my. How I would love to own a shirt that Vince Vaughn actually wore. On his body. This is one of the shirts he wore as Beanie in "Old School." I always question the authenticity of such movie props that pop up on ebay, but this seller appears to be a legitimate dealer.
I just received some screencaps of Vince from 'Sex and the City' (episode 3.14, 2000) and I've added them to the photo gallery. Thanks so much to Heather for sending me these. :D
