Clerks Sequel: The FINAL Word
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. 🙂
Yup, it’s MORE NEW SWAG!

Speaking Of Swag…
- 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.
More On Dogma…
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!

What’s Up Film Threat’s Ass?
- OVERRATED FILM OF THE YEAR
…STUFF DELETED…
2) “Chasing Amy” – I guess with a budget of only $250,000, Kevin Smithcouldn’t afford realistic characterization. Yeah, let’s have a threesome. That’ll solve our problems! Please. You’ve been watching way too much porn, Kevin.
MOST DISAPPOINTING FILM OF THE YEAR
…STUFF DELETED…
3) “Chasing Amy” – Has Kevin Smith ever actually TALKED to a girl?
Sad thing is, we actually normally like these guys and value their opinion. For some reason, though, they’ve decided to start a View Askew war. Who knows what the deal is, and, for that matter, who really cares? We just thought you’d like to see what was going on. We’re sure that Kevin’s just losing major sleep over it anyway. Yeah, right.
