- Malcolm Ingram captured a slice of America not often seen with his acclaimed documentary “Small Town, Gay Bar”. Now, he broadens to a larger spectrum of the gay community with his new film, “Bear Nation”. Malc’s been filming for some time now, though we’re guessing a release announcement is closer with the arrival of the official site http://www.bearnationmovie.com/ . Kevin Smith is exec producing the film. No release date has been announced, though we’re thinking the guys might drop some hints when they get together for their live SModcast on February 13th. Tickets are a mere TWENTY BUCKS and now available via this online order page at the Stash. Buy ‘em today, pick ‘em up at the door on the 13th.
- “A Couple of Dicks” starring…Robin Williams? Seems like that was in the plan at some point, according to this TMZ posting. Seems a company called Gold Circle owned the rights before Warner Brothers, and Williams had claimed he had a “pay or play” type deal to star. The lawsuit was dismissed.
- “iPhone Savior” loves Kevin’s iPhone app, so if you haven’t ponied up the 99 cents yet, why the heck not? The reviewer cites the connection to our data here at News Askew as a big plus, and you know what, we can’t help but agree:
“…I found the ability to connect to News Askew web content to be most useful. You can find that feature buried inside the “More” tab which includes Smith’s SModcasts, Podcasts and Fanimation videos. The fact that Kevin Smith is already resident in the App Stores list of “What’s Hot” should be a small clue that this iPhone nugget is well on its way to cult superstardom.…
“…While Smith does offer users the ability to purchase his films and soundtrack music from inside the app via iTunes, it’s not a feature being blasted in your face. Committed followers should feel overwhelmed with tremendous man-love for this epic iPhone offering. It’s a must-have dollar app well worth the price of admission.”
- In case you missed it, SModcast #104 silently made its way up on the still painted-fresh SModcast site, marking the return of Mos to the mix. Available in all streaming, downloadable, and iTunes formats right away. iTunes users, don’t forget, subscribing to the podcast will now get you instant arrival of new episodes. No more waiting!
- Don’t miss the “2010 Future Sale” currently going on at the online Stash. Items at the lowest prices they’ve ever been, with some must-have items that sit right here on the news desk every day, including beanie Mooby, the Nails lighter, inaction figures, and more. Fill in those collection gaps and stock up.
- Time to go dig out of the 2 feet of snow that dropped here in central Pennsylvania. If you’re headed out to Kevin’s big show in Toronto tonight, enjoy. As for tomorrow, Superbowl Sunday, we’re looking forward to a big game and a Saints upset. Have a nice weekend, and thanks for visiting with us at News Askew today.
