History

Quick Stop Entertainment's original incarnation as "MoviePoopShoot.com" was set up as a parody of websites such as Aint It Cool News and was originally featured in Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.It then became a full functioning mulitmedia website in 2002 run by the now Editor-In-Chief of IDW Publishing, Chris Ryall. [ [http://www.idwpublishing.com/bios2.shtml Chris Ryall's Biography at IDW Publishing] Accessed August 18, 2008.] It ran under this guise for 5 years until in 2007 the site was renamed as Quick Stop Entertainment and Chris left for IDW. It is currently being run by Ken Plume who along with running the site, edits SModcast, cohosts the Ken P.D. Snydecast and also conducts interviews. Ken is formerly of IGN Film.

The name "QuickStopEntertainment.com" comes from Smith's first movie, Clerks, based in a convenience store called "Quick Stop Groceries". This store is also featured in several other Smith films.

It is now the official site for all behind the scene blogs of Kevin Smith's upcoming movie Zack and Miri Make A Porno [http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=16160] and has already featured the parody song "I'm Fucking Seth Rogen" which contained Elizabeth Banks [ [http://www.quickstopentertainment.com/2008/02/25/quick-stop-exclusive-im-fing-seth-rogen/ QUICK STOP EXCLUSIVE: I’m F***ing Seth Rogen] Accessed August 18, 2008.] [http://nymag.com/daily/entertainment/2008/02/enough_with_the_celebrityfucki.html NYMag.com Article] mimicking a song originally sung by Sarah Silverman about Matt Damon.

Quick Stop Entertainment recently got into trouble with the MPAA for posting a teaser trailer for Zack and Miri Make a Porno that had not been approved beforehand. Due to the language and suggestive nature of the trailer it had to be taken down.
