Dancing Silent Bob Cursor!

August 28th @ 12:00 am | No Comments » | Scooped by Brad & Chris

  • Our resident graphics guru, Steve Rettinger, has really outdone himself this time. We are now proud to present the Dancing Silent Bob Mouse Cursor for Windows! This is a real beauty folks, and a must download. The cursor’s so small it’s not worth posting a pic, but we’ve taken it and added it to a zip file along with the dancing jay (see below) as well. You can get the file, containing both cursors, right here. It’ll take seconds to download at any speed. Steve also hopes to do some cleanup work on the dancing Jay cursor to make it appear as clean and sharp as the Bob. Steve, you’re good.

Dogma On Dark Horizons…

August 28th @ 12:00 am | No Comments » | Scooped by Brad & Chris

  • The guy who runs the Dark Horizons website (which contains the latest film rumors) made this entry:
Dogma: A fellow web-buddy of mine that goes by the name of Justin McGill has managed to make contact with an extra on the set of the film “Vulgar”, and has confirmed that ‘Mallrats’ star Ethan Suplee will play the role of a ‘Shit Demon’ (possibly based on the life of Newt Gingrich or Pauline Hanson. OOOOHH! I just go too far!).

August 28th @ 12:00 am | No Comments » | Scooped by Brad & Chris

  • The CURRENT View Askew WWWBoard can now be accessed directly through one simple address, which is http://www.viewaskew.com/wwwboard/index.html. You’ll want to bookmark this. This will allow you to go directly to the latest WWWBoard without accessing the main View Askew page first (As well as allow us to link to the board easier in our news stories). Remember, the previous boards will still be available, as always. Use THE LAST BOARD link at the top or the WWWBoard Search to access the previous ones.

Problems Askew…

August 27th @ 12:00 am | No Comments » | Scooped by Brad & Chris

  • As we write this update, www.viewaskew.com is down once again. We’re not sure if it’s a net problem or if they’re in the process of doing those major website upgrades we’ve been hearing about. More details here on this site (Which WILL be online!) as soon as we know, as always.

More On Pix Posters…

  • Smalls wrote to let us know that he had the chance to visit a smaller outlet of Pix Posters at Syracuse University. Apparently they have some satellite shops here and there. So if any of you know where any of their locations are or have visited any, let us know what you find! You might be surprised…

New Dogma Rumors Webpage…

August 27th @ 12:00 am | No Comments » | Scooped by Brad & Chris

  • Alright, so it’s a little competition for us, but we’ve always been big fans of Corona’s Movie Rumors WebPage, and they’ve just added a new section on Dogma. Most of their info looks to be coming from here or the View Askew WWWBoard (Including some really big spoilers that we decided not to read or post, so be warned!). Anyway, expect some of the more juicy and revealing Dogma updates on their page, so if you’re interested, it’s worth a look now and then for sure.

This And That…

August 27th @ 12:00 am | No Comments » | Scooped by Brad & Chris

  • The CURRENT View Askew WWWBoard can now be accessed directly through one simple address, which is http://www.viewaskew.com/wwwboard/index.html. You’ll want to bookmark this. This will allow you to go directly to the latest WWWBoard.
  • We hope to have some Big Helium Dog information for you VERY soon, in lieu of the website’s disappearance. I’m in the process of trying to set up a chat with the director, Brian Lynch. Sounds like everything’s fine with the flick. Check back with us for all the dirt, coming soon!

Pix Posters Update…

August 26th @ 12:00 am | No Comments » | Scooped by Brad & Chris

  • Our pal Garett sent us an update as to what’s going on with new items (and a certain item that’s now no longer available…hehehe) from Pix Poster Cellar, the place we made practically famous over the past few weeks. In fact, why should I paraphrase? He says it all…
1. They now have available the “Mallrats” press kit for $8. It includes three glossy stills. One of Jason Lee and Jeremy London making a weird look at the camera, one with Kevin and Stan Lee together, and finally, one of Mewes and Kev together (same one as the pic at the Mallrats Jay and Silent Bob site). Also included is a press release that discusses about the production and stars.

2. They have available the Kev’s complete first draft script of “The Six Million Dollar Man”.

3. They will never be selling the Superman Lives script. Apparently, Warner Bros. found out and sent a cease and desist letter to them.

4. Coming soon: Smith’s Overnight Delivery script.

There ya have it! The Mallrats kit sounds like a really nice deal, and we’ve reported on the Six Million Dollar Man script before. Also, I had heard elsewhere that the Overnight Delivery script was already available, so that’s some mixed info there. Let us know if anyone can confirm or deny that one. As for that other little script, there, well, I guess we’ll just hafta burn our copies now so Warner Bros. doesn’t come looking for us…Psssht. Congrats to those of you that also managed to snag one in time.

Thanks To Our Scoopers!

  • Practically all of today’s news comes from scoops we received via e-mail, so thanks so much to all of you who chipped in today. Not only do you make our jobs easier, but you also allow us to get the news out to the masses much faster than digging for it ourselves. Kudos to you all. Here we go…

John Pierson Cinemania Tour!

August 26th @ 12:00 am | No Comments » | Scooped by Brad & Chris

  • Saw this post from Jason Charnick on the WWWBoard and thought we’d share the info with you, since Pierson’s had some good relations with Kev and View Askew in the past:
John Pierson is the final tour update for the 1997 CD-ROM. His tour of American Independent Cinema is about five minutes long and it very, very interesting as well as educational. Most of the tour centers around Jim Jarmusch and Spike Lee, but he does make note of Clerks and his executive producer credit on Chasing Amy. If you have the disc, download it today!

I do have the disc, and I will. By the way, if you weren’t aware, John is scheduled to appear on the Chasing Amy laserdisc commentary (He served as the film’s executive producer).
