- Tonight, this news page celebrated its 1,000th hit in just the 8th day since its resurfacing. We just wanted to take the opportunity to say thanks to View Askew (Especially Ming for the links and Kevin for the support), and especially thanks to all of you for continuing to visit us and write us. We plan on being around for a long time. Here’s to the next thousand!

Finally: Mallrats SPECIAL EDITION On LaserDisc!
- Just when we thought there wasn’t any other major news happening today, Kevin had to come onto the View Askew web board and post this one. This is BIG NEWS, people! Here we go…
Nothing’s dotted, nothing’s signed, and it could all fall apart at any minute…
But in October, Image Laser Discs will be soliciting for…
Grab your socks and hose and pull…
The MALLRATS SPECIAL EDITION LASER DISC!!!!!
That’s right, friends – our grass-roots campaign worked (sort of)! The street date is looking like December (around the same time as the ‘Amy’ disc).
Now everyone (not just those who made the trip for the Riders’ ‘Amy’ screening) can see the shit that hit (the floor, that is), along with the available-only-on-this-site-up-until-now Goops/Jay and Silent Bob video!
Congrats, folks – you earned it!
And by-the-by…
We cast the lead in ‘Dogma’ today…
But I can’t divulge that just yet.
Awwww, not even to US, Kev? We wouldn’t tell…Well…On second thought, maybe you should keep it a secret, after all. So, looks like we’ll be seeing the fabled Lost Mallrats Footage after all! We gotta admit, this took us by surprise, but it’s a glorious day for us laserdisc fanatics. Hopefully this deal will go through, and we’ll (of course) have all the info on this for you on this BREAKING news as it develops. And now back to your regularly scheduled surfing…
Larry King BHD Transcript!
- Well, looks like CNN does their best to do a quick editing job on those Larry King Live shows so only the people who watch at 9:00 get to see what an idiot Larry really is. The last time I remember watching that show, he had on the cast of Friends and didn’t know any of their real names OR character’s names. What a buffoon. But I digress. Anyway, here’s the transcript of what you probably missed:
KING: To Philadelphia, hello.
CALLER: I was wondering some court cases video audio tapes are not admissible I was wondering if same in Big Helium Dog (inaudible) letter?
KING: Anybody know? Anyone know what he is talking about?
RESSLER: I don’t know what he is talking about.
KING: I have no idea what he is talking about either. We’ll take a break and we will come back, while we try to figure out and we’ll analyze the call! And then Demi Moore. Don’t go away.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
KING: We’re back, we have analyzed that last call. We have sent it through rerun, listened to it on tape, and no one knows what that question was. Something involving a helium dog, whatever that is. Penbrook — but fits the case perfectly, doesn’t it? Penbrook Pines, Florida, hello.
Congrats again on that gem, Ralph. Can’t wait to see what happens next with this BHD thing.
