A Reuters photographer snapped this pic of Adam Yauch before the premiere of Mini's First Time at the Tribeca Film Festival yesterday (May 1). Whether or not he has a connection to the film somehow (e.g., a friend or colleague associated with the film) is unknown. He's probably hitting a bunch of films at the film fest.

Yauch was also photographed at the film's afterparty at the W Hotel Union Square.

VH1 has announced that Awesome; I Fuckin' Shot That! is among the films being added to its documentary series "VH1 Rock Docs." The Beastie Boys concert film will begin to be shown periodically on the music television channel later this summer. Hopefully, this means the VH1 viewing audience will not be subjected to Showgirls anymore.

The good people at Beastiemania.com got their hands on one of the Awesome; I Fuckin' Shot That! screener dvds, which were distributed to a small number of retail outlets a few weeks ago. The screener includes the complete film, but not any of the bonus footage.

Other than the silly notes about a "massive awareness" campaign for the film that never happened, the one other interesting item to note on the screener package is that the bonus material is subject to change. Good news to those fans who were hoping for more or different material!
