State Of The Askewniverse

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

  • There’s been quite a few questions on the boards lately about what’s going on with the “offshoot” projects of View Askew. Vincent was kind enough to post a summary about what’s been going on, and we think it’s both interesting and informative. Give it a read:
The fact is, Miramax has first look on ALL View Askew Productions- basically, that means they get the first option on distribution. They’ve already looked at “DRAWING much every day, and BHD director Brian Lynch stops by sometimes as well, so we tend to give out lots of info on the project.

Both films are progressing quite nicely through editing, I assure you. VULGAR finished it’s first cut last week, and came in at about 105-mintues or so- not bad for a first edit. BIG HELIUM DOG is about halfway through editing, and it’s running time for the first cut is working out to be almost exactly one page to one minute (the shooting script is 94 pages).

VulgarThon 2: What ELSE We Know…

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

  • Just a few things have come to light since we posted yesterday’s blurb on the event. First of all, NO, we have NO IDEA when tickets will go on sale, all we said was just speculation. Johny just sent me a message saying that Oz was pretty sure that there would be notice before tickets went on sale, and they wouldn’t just pop up outta nowhere. ALSO, Kevin has CONFIRMED that January 5, 1998 will be the official date of VulgarThon, so mark your calendars NOW!

“Good Will Hunting” Review (Minor Spoilers)…

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

Anyway I saw the new “Godzilla” preview when I saw a sneak screening of “GOOD WILL HUNTING” (can’t tell location b/c you know how it is) anyway. The Trailer wouldn’t have been suspicious if you hadnt posted the description, but at first i didnt recognize it but it looks like The “Independence Day” team has another mega hit on their hands. Getting to GOOD WILL HUNTING, Gus Van Sant did an excellent job with the film, and Matt Damon and Ben Affleck’s script was great.

The film is one that makes you want to not like the main character played by Damon named Will Hunting. But as Will makes friends with his new physchiatrist played by Robin Williams we start to open up to him and eventually you feel for how everyone doesn’t undertsand him. You see Will is a genius.

Well anyway I thought you might like to know about it. This is like one of those sleeper films that will probably get looked over at the Oscars(TM) but it has best picture potential. In closing The film is great and Godzilla looks great as well.
