- For those of you in the Philly suburbs, have we got a cool find for you — On Sunday July 20th, the Colonial Theater in Phoenixville, PA is playing “Clerks” on the big screen at 2:00 PM. According to their website, this will be an actual 35mm print, and not a DVD projected against a screen (which is what we often see at these things). Definitely worth a trip out if you’re in the area — See “Clerks” on FILM!
- Catch Kevin in this extended trailer for the movie F*ck — Youtube’s got it. While you’re over at the famous video site, why not check out some classic Carlin bits, too?
- Both Brian O’Halloran and Jason Mewes attended last weekend’s Horror Hound convetion in Pittsburgh, PA. Our scooper “Jack” was in attendance and has a few words about his experience meeting both of these View Askew legends in person:
I just attended Horror Hound Weekend in Pittsburgh last weekend. Jason Mewes and Brian O’ Halloran were in attendance. Two of my buddies and I went Friday evening. Brian was one of the first people we met. He’s just an awesome guy. He’s so laid back and friendly. He even took three pictures with us. One with me and then one with each of my friends. Jason was there but stepped out for a moment. We chatted a bit with Brian and made our way through the convention room.
After meeting several celebrities such as Doug Bradley (Pinhead), and Danielle Harris (Halloween 4, 5, and Rob Zombie’s remake) we headed back to Brian and Jason’s table. We knew Jason was back because of the huge crowd gathered around the table. When we finally met him, he was just as nice and cool as Brian. We talked about the Zack and Miri wrap-up party I attended at the Pittsburgh Improv a couple of months ago. I didn’t get to meet him then because he had to leave early. I’m just glad I got a second chance to meet him.
The general consensus from everyone that attended is that Brian and Jason were a great addition to the con. Apparently, one attendee brought the DVD covers of every movie Jason has done.
And apparently Brian did some mad karaoke at the hotel during the weekend.
Like we always say, when you have a chance to meet these guys, take it — They’re great with the fans, always. Thanks to our scooper for filling us in on his time in western PA, home of “Dogma” and “Zack & Miri Make a Porno”. - Finally today, a couple of Kevin’s fans have followed in his early footsteps and maxxed out their credit cards — The guys at up-start Paisano Pictures, Tim and Heath, dropped us a line reagarding a project they’ve developed, a webseries ‘Oceans 7-11′. They actually read the chapter on Kevin in the book ‘My First Movie’ for some insight on how to get their first project done and realized they’d be getting no sleep. Ever.
The good news - they launched their first full episode a few months ago. It was profiled in ‘Viral on Veoh,’ and the show got one million hits. YouTube chose it as a ‘Featured Video’ and it became the #1 YouTube video in 19 countries, including the US. Congrats, guys. The second full episode premieres this Monday, 6/30 @ 9 pm EST at www.oceans711.com.
