Please remember, Kevin ONLY uses his WebTV to post messages. If the IP of one of his messages says something else, it’s not the real Kevin Smith.
Kevin, Kim, Scott, Monica, Brian Quinn, some of the Riders of the board, and I also recognized some cast members in attendance. Jason Lee listed under an alias [who I thought, played 2 parts] and his wife Carmen [kissed Joey in Amy] were both in it. Ethan Suplee, another alias, something about SAG I think, also. I liked it. I’d pay to see it again.
I just remembered, Vincent’s family was also there. I think they tried to take a flash picture when his name appeared on screen. I also saw Brian Lynch, who played Eddie. He asked me if my hair was growing back.
Dammit, and we were supposed to GO to this! Oh well. Sounds like we missed a pretty neat evening. Still gotta see that flick sometime. We’ll be seeing Vincent tonight at the Lucio Fulci Film Screenings in Mt. Ephram, so we hope to get some more info, but if you were there, send us your thoughts and reviews!
Yuck.
But it’s going to be quick at least. I have a meeting with Brian Grazer about ‘Fletch’, and then I’m going to pop over to the ‘Armagaedon’ set to see Ben duck comets or something. Then dinner with my uber-agent Phil, and back on a plane by ten at night.
If one has to go to LA, it’s the only way to do it.
I’ll be gone tomorrow, so anyone wanting to post something I’ll see might want to wait until Thursday.
I guess we’re all into this ‘tween Holidays Film Fest thing, hunhh? Good.
Sounds like Fletch AND the holiday screenings are a go! We’re psyched. See ya next time. Thanks for stopping by.
Here’s some additional info direct from Kim on the appearance:
Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
See you Friday!

The reason for this is because we’re moving our internet account to a new provider, on an ultra fast cable modem no less! Why is this bad? Well, the new provider doesn’t give us enough web space to hold our page, unless we’re willing to pay an extra 5 dollars a month per meg! This is outrageous and we refuse to pay.
Therefore, WE NEED A NEW HOME! And we MEAN it this time! Sorry to put you all on the line like this, but it’s time for you to come through! Here’s what we’ll need:
Well, that’s pretty much it. Not a problem, huh? We know it’s a tall order, but we think SOMEONE out there can come through for us. The site gets around 200 hits per day now, which is pretty low traffic as far as websites go, so it shouldn’t hurt your bandwidth. If you need us to link back to you somehow in an advertisement, we can certainly work something out, although we’d prefer not to plaster ads all over the site and ruin its look.
And finally, yes, we are aware of Geocities and the other “free” web space providers. We hate them and refuse to put News Askew there. Not only are they slow, but they limit your disk space and they make you puts ads all over the place. And they’re slow.
PLEASE HELP US! We’ll be your best friend. E-Mail us HERE to apply!
It’s the Monday after Christmas (coincidentally the Monday before New Year’s Eve also). The shopping/exchanging aspect to the Holiday season has passed. But you forgot to get someone a present…
Yourself.
How about this: a mini View Askew Film Fest! Screenings of the three flicks that gave birth to this website, coupled with the non-fest unveiling of a pair of flicks you’ve heard tons about, but have yet to see (‘A Better Place’ and ‘Drawing Flies’). Throw in appearances by some Askew-luminaries and post-screening Q&A, a midnight birthday toast to the one and stinky…I mean ONLY Kim Loughran, and a t-shirt, and you’ve got an inkling of what we’ve got in the planning stages (for the low, low price of somewhere under fifty bucks).
Anyone interested?
Watch this space for details in the coming weeks.
Obviously, we’re so there. And (if this event happens) we’ll of course have another nice wrap-up of the happenings for those of you that CAN’T attend. From the sound of things on the board, there’s a TON of interest for this one. Just be sure to save us 2 tickets, guys. We’d appreciate it.
Thanks to Melissa and Bluntman for the heads up on this one.
