- Kevin posted a VERY informative message on the board last night that revealed quite a bit of new and exciting goings-on in the Askewniverse. We’re not gonna even try and sum it up, just read it for yourself right here:
Has anyone seen the EW special issue on Indies? We got mad props thrown our way, including a space in the 50 most important/influential indie films.
I – for one – was tickled.
In other news, we’re going to be doing a series of Jay and Silent Bob shorts for MTVv. We’ll be shooting them mid-November, and after writing them for the past two days, I’ve gotta say that they’re pretty funny (especially considering Jay can’t say ‘shit’ or ‘fuck’ at all). They’ll run about thirty seconds apiece, and will start popping up sometime around the first of the year.
Come to think of it, it’s a pretty packed month around these parts. November brings the video release of ‘Amy’, the UK release of ‘Amy’, the Mtv shorts, a couple college appearances (Trenton State and James Madison University), the unveiling of the particulars for the untitled event (for which I’m leaning toward ‘Five Flicks for Forty Bucks’), and the start of the Christmas shopping season.
And somehow, I’ll still find time to make it here twice a day (no applause, please; just throw money).
This is the first we’ve heard about the J&SB shorts on MTV, but that’s a really cool piece of news there. Hopefully we can see some sneak peeks of them at “FFFB” and get the jump on the MTV crowd. Most of the other stuff’s been brought up in some capacity here at News Askew, but you’ve got the confirmation now. Thanks to Ted Laidlaw for sending the message our way before we made it to the board!
By the way, we’ll have that Entertainment Weekly on Friday most likely (depending on the mail), so if there’s any other revelations or stuff to elaborate on, we’ll have the full story then.
