Well… that went great.

Kansas City was very good to us tonight. Great score in the top two boxes (”Excellent” and “Very Good”), great “Definite Recommend” score (way above the “norm” score), laughter from end-to-end. Oddly, not a single person rated the movie “Poor” (out of the choices Excellent, Very Good, Good, Fair, Poor); odd because we usually get at least one or two Poor votes. Not this time. Only two “Fair”, too. The rest were Excellent, Very Good, and Good (with the biggest number being “Excellent”).

Now having watched the flick with an audience, I found some time I wanna take out. Not whole scenes, mind you; just trims within scenes. I can probably get another five to ten minutes out of the flick without hurting the story or anybody’s performance.

*sigh* (of relief)

And we can’t forget to mention the SPOLIER HEAVY, VERY POSITIVE review that showed up on Ain’t It Cool News this morning. We would suggest skipping that review if you want a pure experience with the film this October.

Congrats to all involved - We can’t wait for the adventures of Sam, Sock, the lovely Andi and that pesky Satan to continue. Reaper is currently finishing up its first season on the CW network.

SModcast 49: Attack of the Banantulas -

In which our heroes cock an eye at a prairie legend, fret over eight legged stalkers, fear a Swedish Holocaust, and take issue with the plausibility of singing underwater.

As always the free MP3 based podcast is available for exclusive download at Quick Stop Entertainment — soon to also be the exclusive home to the first Zack and Miri trailer — so you may as well get those bookmarks ready.

Been knee-deep in “Zack and Miri Make a Porno” type stuff, preparing for our first official test screening on Tuesday night (somewhere in the midwest). The flick’s current running time is 1:45, so we’ll see if putting it in front of an audience sheds light on any further possible cuts. Fingers crossed the flick plays great.

Thursday night, I’ll be in Jersey for another poker tourney at Jay and Silent Bob’s Secret Stash. There are about five seats left, if you’re on the east coast and feel like rolling cards with us May 15th at 8p.m. Interested parties should drop a line to donkey@viewaskew.com.

When I get back from the trip back east, I think I’ll be ready to post the first internet-only “Zack and Miri” teaser. I’ll let you know when it goes live at www.quickstopentertainment.com (home of SModcast).

I’ll be at San Diego for ComiCon yet again this summer. More details when I know ‘em (but figure a Friday night panel in the big room).

Anyone remember the Crazy for Cult art show Scott and I hosted last summer at Gallery 1988 on Melrose, here in Los Angeles? Remember how awesome that turned out? Well Jensen, Scott and I are doing it again this August…




Trust me: you’ll love it.

And that’s about it, for the time being. I’ll check back after the test screening to let you know how we did, as well as hip you to the ‘net teaser.

As always, you can read Kevin’s full posts on his MySpace blog or Silent Bob Speaks.com.

‘net-teaser on hold ’til after the Stash poker game.

Although, guess what poker game folks get to see at the poker game? The first and second ‘net-teasers.

Now ask yourselves this…

Just saying.
