  • The fantastic deleted dart scene from “Chasing Amy” tops trade mag Home Media Magazine’s list of the top 5 deleted scenes available on DVD. Click away for a look at the scan (and the other mentions). Thanks to our pal Ron over at LA’s awesome Laser Blazer (and Secret Stash West) for catching this one for us!
  • Hey, let’s keep rolling on with the scannage — Here’s one from the latest issue of comic supermag “Wizard”, where Kevin and Jay are featured in a new photo. Enjoy. And if you like comics, and don’t subscribe to Wizard, shame on ya!
  • Mark your calendars waaay in advance for this one — Jason Mewes has been confirmed to appear at the Ohio Comic Con on OCTOBER 25th & 26th, 2008 at Veterans Memorial in Downtown Columbus, OH. This will be, we believe, the man’s first signing appearance in the state. The official guest list is available at the con’s site. Will Kevin and other Askewers follow suit and attend? We’ll keep ya posted.
  • Kevin’s famous take on the “Superman Lives” script is referenced in this new Mania.com article titled “Superman Vs. Hollywood” :


      The nineties were crazy time when Jon Peters (uber producer) and Kevin Smith (‘Clerks’ director and fan boy) would butt heads about their new Superman script. Much of these dealings and meetings have been well documented and discussed by a disgruntled Kevin Smith. Any fans of the genre or of Smith have either read about ‘Superman Lives’ (Peters/ Smith title) or heard Smith discuss it in his lecture tours.

  • Call us crazy, but we’re big Tom Green fans here, always have admired his off-kilter brand of humor, so it’s nice to see a View Askew fan’s work pop up in an episode of his new program, “Tom Green’s House Tonight”. Around the four-minute mark of this episode, rapper Thaahum, who’s done quite a few View Askew songs and fan videos over the years, has a new video featured. On a follow-up show, Shannon Elizabeth (”Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back”), makes a mention of the video on the air and Tom says, “yeah a guy from Kevin Smith’s Site sent that to us.” (referring to the affiliation he’s had with his VA fan tunes for Quick Stop Entertainment from the past). You can watch the entire clip at YouTube as well. Congrats Thaahum!
  • And finally today, on a sad note, our condolences to friends and family of Jeff Healy, the very talented musician who passed away Sunday after a lifelong battle with cancer. Healy is possibly best known as a star in our beloved “Road House” (a film so loved that Kevin and Scott recorded a DVD commentary for it) and for the hit “Angel Eyes”. He will be missed.

    I thought I scooped this? Too late I guess.
