  • Nolan Reese set up a site for View Askew-related tape trading (Not the flicks, but interviews, specials, and the like…) and we think it’s a good idea. With Kev being the self-proclaimed “press whore” that he is, this should make it easier for you to catch all that stuff you missed…Check it out here.
  • Here’s a part of an article from the San Mateo County Times on Tuesday, December 30, 1997-
“Movie experts pick year’s best moments” “Tom Pollock (chairman, American Film Institute): I remember the look on Joey Lauren Adams’ face at the end of “Chasing Amy,” when she looks at Ben Affleck, knowing that the relationship is never going to work and then really being sad anyway.”

Thanks to Rain for sending in the clip.

  • We hit 45,000 today…Thanks to Devin Clancy for writing us withthe news. It’s no 50,000, but it’s not too shabby, either.
  • BiggityBam was watching the PBS and spotted an obscure, but interestingfact: Apparently, Ben Affleck once starred in a show called “Voyage of the Mimi” about a group of young people looking for humpback whales who get shipwrecked. “It’s sort of a lesson type show…15 minutes of show, 15 minutes of scientific stuff. He couldn’t have been more than 11 when on the show.”

Don’t Forget: Bring Those Canned Goods To VulgarThon!

  • We mentioned this idea when we first heard it because we really liked it, so when Susan Finelli asked us to bring it up again today, we were happy to oblige.

    Susan’s idea is for all of us attending Vulgarthon this Monday to simply bring a donation for the soup kitchen in Red Bank. Paper goods, canned foods, soups and vegetables, dehydrated foodstuff, and just about any edible product can be donated. The food will be donated (in the name of View Askew to “Lunch Break” (the name of the place). There will be boxes outside the theatre for your convenience, so all you need to do is bring something, ANYTHING, and drop it in a box on the way in. Simple as that. And a very kind gesture. Don’t let us down!
