ere is the latest news from the world of Vendetta, in reverse chronological order.  Read the list backwards if that concept confuses you.

4/28/08 - Just moved the entire site to a new server. For several years hosting was generously provided by my employer, the web's most popular shoe store, I haven't worked there in just over a year so it was time to man up and get a real host. So this is done! We are now hanging out on a shiney new system that behaves pretty much exactly like the old system, except for the moment I've disabled new message board posts. I write all this simply to let you know that Vendetta is alive and well, and still going strong. DVD requests still come in, and I still send them out. Life is good.

9/04/07 - These days, hosting our own videos seems kind of quaint. Well, we'll continue to do so since the quality is higher, but we've posted them to YouTube as well, for your general convenience. The entire things is on there, though I had to break it up into 10 parts, and that's just a link to the first one. But I figure you can dig up the rest. You're a smart cookie. I believe in you.

4/21/07 - I'm in South Africa (an experience you can read more about on my blog), and today I watched Vendetta with my friend Zenzo. First time a Vendetta DVD was played in Africa, to my knowledge, and it went over big. He practically begged for a copy to show his family, which I provided, and he reported the next day that it was a hit with them as well. Who would have thought: Vendetta truly crosses cultural divides and brings people together!

9/29/06 - The holiday season is just around the corner, and what better way to start getting in the mood than with a glowing review from one of the most respected blogcritics in the world? Read Aaron Kahn's take on Vendetta! And yes, the DVD offer is still going strong. See the front page for details.

12/07/05 - It has come to my attention that the lack of news items has led people to believe that perhaps the Vendetta DVD offer on the front page was no longer valid. I assure you: Vendetta is still going strong. In fact, last year when I put up the DVD offer, I was overwhelmed with requests. I was burning the DVD's myself and I couldn't keep up. So this year I have ordered a large batch of professionally printed DVD's for the masses. So please, until you see a further notice here, feel confident that if you send in your self-addressed stamped envelope (as described on the front page), I will certainly send you a DVD. Happy Holidays, everyone!

11/10/01 - This is the moment your father warned you about, the moment your mother feared, the moment you have been waiting for in sweaty anticipation.  What is that to which we refer?  Why Vendetta: A Christmas Story, Episode Two of course!  Nearly five years in the making, tied up in legal battles that would have the DOJ doing the Electric Slide, Vendetta: A Christmas Story, Episode Two is now available online.  In addition, there are better quality clips available of both episodes, for those with high-bandwidth connections.  As if that weren't enough, there's now a reasonably high-tech message board where you can gripe all day and flame each other.  Enjoy!

12/23/00 - It has been a shamefully long time since the site has been updated - but hey, it's been a shamefully long year.  Anyways, I though we'd offer a little gift to the whole internet, to show our gratitude and all that, and in what better way than with Vendetta?  So - for for the first time in over one point five zillion years - Vendetta is now available in multiple formats!  Anyone who was holding out for religeous reasons should take a peek now!  Merry Christmas, and enjoy.

4/07/00 - You won't even believe me when I tell you that I was flown to Lille, France and put up in The Carlton for an entire week because of the nomination mentioned below.  I actually didn't believe it myself until they gave me the flight confirmation number and I called with the airline.

Although it would have been great if the whole Vendetta team could have gone together, they were only paying for one, so I (Jonathan Field - aka McKeegan) was selected to represent.  This was at least in part because I was the only one with a valid passport. 

I got back a few weeks ago, but I've been so busy catching up with work that I couldn't even update the site.  Well, we didn't win, but the trip was amazingly cool, and I got to be interviewed on French television for about 30 seconds. 

Being that Vendetta only cost a C-note or so to make, getting this free trip qualifies as huge profit.  I mean, if we're talking percentages here, we're probably up there with such fine fims as Mortal Kombat: Annihilation

3/10/00 - So how cool is it that Vendetta is nominated (out of ten films) as best of the year in the Nouveaux Talents category at FIFI 2000.  Well, I won't keep you in suspense - it's pretty damn cool.  Anyone who is in Lille France next week should drop in to see Vendetta on the big screen.  Damn.

1/24/00 - It is a grand day indeed in the history of Vendetta.  I was notified today that Vendetta has been added to the Internet Movie Database.  Now if that isn't the end-all be-all of internet recognition, then I don't know what is.  Thanks to all our fans and to The Internet Movie Database for being one of the coolest sites on the web!

12/21/99 - As if things couldn't get any better this year!  Vendetta was featured on this French website under "LE SURF DE LA SEMAINE" (that's "website of the week" if my highschool education serves me still).  We have also received word that Vendetta was featured on a French television show.  We are contacting the station now to see if we can get a copy of the program.  It seems that in a land renowed for it's artistic merits, Vendetta stands proud.

12/17/99 - Goddamn!  We've been slashdotted!  Somehow, one of the most popular sites on the internet decided to post a story about Vendetta.  The response destroyed both this server and Newgrounds for over 24 hours!  Despite the destruction of our servers, all involved were happy to see Vendetta get the loving recognition and critical backlash it deserved!

12/09/99 - Today, certified internet celebrity Tom Fulp recognized Vendetta for the high calibre entertainment that it is - he has chosen to honor us by placing Vendetta on Newgrounds!  If you pride yourself on your fine taste and/or mental illness, you'll love Newgrounds!  Check it out!

11/19/99 - We have no idea how we got on Extra yesterday, but after the report our server was pretty much killed by the traffic spike, so the site was nearly inaccessible for the following 18 hours.  Amidst our freaking out we were deeply honored that so many people have finally come to appreciate the modern masterpiece that is Vendetta.

10/04/99 - The Vendetta crew was invited to show the film at the IMAGE 99 Film Festival.  Despite the fact that there were many other incredible films there, Vendetta won audience favorite, hands down.  Later that evening there was a tense moment when Spike Lee confronted Vendetta director Jonathan Field.  After a few moments however, they both decided to "Do the Right Thing".

09/19/99 - Thanks to reasonable parties on both sides, the legal dispute involving Axl Rose and the Vendetta team was resolved peacefully.  In addition to holding a private screening for his bandmates and friends, Mr. Rose dropped charges on the condition that everyone who worked on Vendetta buy a copy of his next album, whatever it may be.

08/11/99 - Due to overwhelming viewer requests, TCI Cable has agreed to air Vendetta for the following two weeks on Saturday mornings at 9:00 and Sunday evenings at 8:00.  This good news was followed by a rather disturbing phone call.  Apparently some of the music in Vendetta potentially violates certain copyrights.

08/04/99 - Vendetta was shown on San Francisco cable access again, this time between Kiddie Kraft Korner and Pumpup Da Jizz.  We certainly hope that Vendetta was not responsible, but we are told that the two shows received their highest cross-viewership rating in years.

07/28/99 - Vendetta was shown on San Francisco cable for the first time, coinciding nicely with the launch of this site.  We were frankly shocked at the near instant hysteria surrounding the film, which crashed our guestbook in less than 24 hours.  It is scheduled to be on again next Friday at 10:00 PM.  Tell your friends!  Tell your enemies!  Tell yourself!
