January 13th @ 12:00 am | No Comments » | Scooped by Brad @ Chris

  • Nolan Reese sends us this refreshing piece from CineZine’s latest e-mail newsletter, which is run by the folks who left Film Threat to work on their own. Interestingly, they found “Chasing Amy” to be the BEST film of the year! “Good Wilble, but Ethan really doesn’t mind this because he “fucking hates” doing the casts for it. haha. Also, I guess some CGI will be used to make him more…..shitty?

    We just thought you might find that interesting…Remember to check Dogma : Rumor Control for all the latest up-to-date info on the film!

  • Kim posted this note today. It’s VERY important for those of you who’ve been procrastinating placing that Stash order! Spend some of that Christmas cash and get it before it’s gone! Here’s what she said:
      Sorry guys, have to put a moratorium on the personalizations for the immediate future, should be back to normal once production wraps on DOGMA.

      If you haven’t yet received a personalized order that you placed before today, rest assured it is coming. If you have been procrastinating ordering something up ’til now, you have until 12:00 PM (EST) Wednesday January 14, 1998 to order the following:

      personalized Clerks/Amy screenplay book
      personalized Mallrats book
      personalized Posters of any Kind
      pick-it-yourself Clerks/Amy cells

      The above mentioned items will be available in limited quantities bearing just Kevin’s signature (limited only by the number we get him to sign before taking off to rehearse with actors), and of course, VA selected cells (cause Kevin won’t have to agonize over you getting JUST the right scene, merely trust us to send from the right movie) tee-shirts, hats, keychains, jerseys, blueprints, and mousepads will be available as ever.

  • Yup, it’s MORE NEW SWAG!

    Clerks Sequel: The FINAL Word

    January 13th @ 12:00 am | No Comments » | Scooped by Brad & Chris

  • You read about it here, the WWWBoard, Ain’t It Cool, and you may have even heard talk buzzing around about it at VulgarThon. A Clerks sequel. We’re almost regretting the fact we even brought it up, since we seem to be getting the blame for spreading this “rumor”, which Kevin is certainly getting tired of reading about and denying on the board.
  • Here’s our take on the whole thing: Did Kevin mention a Clerks Sequel at the Q&A? Yes, in theatre 2. Was he serious? Maybe. Maybe not. He asked the audience to keep it under wraps, sure, which is why we feel bad talking about it now, but since there’s been so much buzz about it, we felt we had to get some final thoughts in and hopefully stop the madness.

    What we know: Will it be in black and white? “Yes and no”, said Kevin. Perhaps a Wizard-of-Ozish dissolve from B&W to color at some point in the picture, we think? Brian O’Halloran is very excited about the project, and plans to participate. EVERY Askewniverse character would hopefully appear in the film, including Jeff Anderson as Randal.

    Now, here’s what we suggest: STOP TALKING ABOUT IT. Obviously, Kevin’s either playing a great joke on all of us, or he just wanted to get some buzz out there and be finished with it. After all, he’s got “Dogma” to worry about along with a Fletch script…Clerks 2, if it happens, is just a thought right now and nothing more. You’re not going to get any info from View Askew on it, and we’re not talking anymore, either. Please, oh please, stop mailing us about it!

    The bottom line, is, think what you like. We hope the news is true. But there’s a lot more stuff coming out of the Askewniverse that we ARE sure of…Let’s talk about that for now. 🙂

  • The VulgarThon Wrap-Up Page IS still coming. We’ve just been SO busy keeping up with the regular news as well as our lives outside of this website (Yes, they DO exist), so the VulgarThon page has been coming together slower than we’d hoped. There IS a LOT of text written, so we hope you’ll have an hour or so to spare when the final thing goes online. There’s still a LOT more to be told, and when we finish we won’t have even covered half of what went on at the fest. Also, we’re still hoping for some more photo submissions to include on the page as well. Let us know if you’ve got any to share. Shots of the lines, the theatre, the Q&A’s…That’s the kind of stuff we’d love to have. Look for the VulgarThon page soon, and sorry for the delay. We hope that, when it’s done, it’ll be the most comprehensive one out there.
  • We’d like to give a big shout out to Dave Weisbrot AND Alan Wolf, who were both kind enough to mail us original copies of the Asbury Park Press’s Sunday, January 4th edition with the View Askew article. Now we can EACH have a copy! Thanks guys, we certainly appreciate it.
