- Hi folks. We’re back after taking a Labor Day holiday to labor on important things like laying in front of the TV, eating barbequed foods, and playing video games. In fact, it’s been a pretty slow time in the View Askew world as well, so you won’t notice too much going on here. We’re making some minor improvements on the look of the site, which you may have noticed. A drinking games update is planned for this week. Also, don’t forget you can find all of August’s News in the archives now. On with the show…

Two high school outcasts, Barret Michaelson — the new kid in town, and RyanWalker –a self-confessed misanthrope with a violent past, form an obsessivefriendship which spirals out of control and ends in murder. A Better Place carefullystacks events to create a claustrophobic world of alienated suburban adolescents.First-time director Vincent Pereira’s nihilistic New Jersey tale is produced by ViewAskew Productions, the team that brought us Clerks and Chasing Amy.

WE (MIGHT) NEED A NEW HOME…
- Well, as you, our devoted fans, have seen, this page has grown quite a bit over the last couple of months. In fact, it’s growing in size at a fairly alarming rate! Things such as requests for frameless versions, continuing archives, and our desire to include more localized versions of files and spiffy graphics has caused us to consider looking for a new website. Our internet provider HAS the space for us, however it’s gonna cost us monthly to use it and, frankly, we’re cheap bastards and would rather get it free. Along with this would come a new URL, of course, which we’d link from this current one and advertise fairly openly.
Anyway, if you’re interested in helping, please drop us a line. If advertising is something that’s required, I suppose we’d consider it, but we’d rather keep the site true to its current look if possible. We’d need a FAST home that we could have regular telnet and FTP access to in order to keep the files current and update as we please. If you think you can help us, let us know. This will not be an immediate move, but one sometime in the near future if we can arrange it. Thanks for your time.
