“Chasing Amy” Delivers Moral Message
- Check out this July 15th article from the Philadelphia Inquirer’s David Boldt.
Kevin Smith mentioned on Howard Stern
- On today’s Howard Stern radio program, Robin brought up the fact that she saw “Chasing Amy” and loved it… Howard interrupted saying that Kevin had sent him a cassette of the movie and he watched it for 5 minutes, then threw it in the garbage. Some people are so spoiled! Anyway, Robin told him he needed to give it another chance, so he’s going to try and dig it out of the garbage can.
Anyway, Howard then proceeded to say he had to give “a shout out” to Kevin for sending him the original Superman script. Apparently, he liked it a lot. COULD SOMEONE PLEASE SEND ME THIS SCRIPT!!?!?! I won’t share it with anyone. Scout’s honor.
Joey Adams rerun on Conan O’Brien Tonight
- If you missed it last time, there’s a rerun of the 5/2/97 episode of the Conan O’Brien show that Joey Adams was on when she was plugging “Chasing Amy”.
View Askew Site Is Back! (Well, sorta)…
- Well, http://www.viewaskew.com is back today…sorta. Maybe they just took the site down for a while so they could start getting rid of all traces of Joey…who knows? But anyway, looks like everything is intact EXCEPT for the WWWBoard, which is quite unfortunate. Hope to see it back soon and in one piece. We’ll keep you informed.
View Askew NewsBites™
- People Online‘s got more on Ben…In the form of a fairly in-depth online article. It refers to the Details article many times, mentions Dogma (including a quote from Chris Rock) and of course brings Matt in the picture a few times. Read it all right HERE
- Matt Damon and Edward Norton appeared on ESPN‘s broadcast of “The World Series of Poker” Saturday night, where they played the game with the world’s best. The announcers said that Damon held his own against a past world champion. In addition to his writing and acting talents, we suppose you can add “poker player” to the repertoire.

Where’s ViewAskew.Com?
- Actually, we don’t know!!! Sometime yesterday, http://www.viewaskew.com dropped off the face of the internet. If anyone knows why the site isn’t responding or if they notice the site has come back up, could you please let us know? We’ll post any information on the status of the site here as soon as we know it.
Drinks Askew Logo Entries…
- The logo entries continue to come in from our Drinks Askew logo plea. Ralph the action figure guy sent us this hilarious little piece which was a little to large to use, but we had to share it with you anyway because it’s friggin’ funny. If you can’t make out the text, the skeleton is saying “Welcome to Drinks Askew, Mr. Svenning.” If you missed the joke, check out the special cases on our Mallrats drinking page.
