• Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past few weeks, you’re probably already aware that the long-awaited special on MTV airs tonight. Jay & Silent Bob’s Video Stash features 8 (Not 11, as we erroneously stated before. Thanks, Kevin. We need to start verifying some of these sources!) shorts featuring the duo, along with classic View Askew videos (“Can’t Even Tell”, from Clerks, and “Build Me Up Buttercup” from Mallrats), some other stuff from your childhood (part 1 of Cyndi Lauper’s rarely-seen “Goonies R Good Enough” video), and of course introductions/general wackiness from crew Askew.

Set the VCRs and huddle up to the sets! The show airs at 10 PM eastern time, 9 PM central, and, we believe, 10 PM pacific time (on delay). We think the special’s gonna give View Askew some excellent publicity…Along with the spots which will air sporadically over the coming months, the special will introduce the characters to a new audience, as well as please all of us current die-hard fans. We’re sure they’ll be plugging Oni Press’s comics as well, and maybe even getting a “Dogma” mention or two in there.

Enjoy the show!

• Just a reminder that Oni Press’s hilarious Clerks comic book ships tonight and goes on sale nationwide TOMORROW. Pick up a copy or two at your local shop, or order them from the Stash. You’ll love the book, for sure…When Joe at Oni Press sent us an advanced copy last month, we knew they had a winner. It’ll be nice to finally be able to discuss some plot details (we were under a “gag order” of sorts…hehe) and perhaps show you some more of Jim Mahfood’s excellent artwork.

Watch our Oni Page for another great scoop in the next couple of days, and buy the Clerks & Double Feature books for now…And take a last look at our exclusive shots before they’re out in the wild!

• Man oh man, could MORE of ya have sent this scoop in? Here’s the dish from today’s Variety (This may be a good time to mention that scoopers names are in the order which they were received):

• You’ve asked US, you’ve asked on the board, and, frankly, there was just nothing we could do for ya. Now, the information you’ve been looking for is here. Our Pittsburgh scooper wrote with the following info:

Good luck to ya! Now, we assume this is different from the extras casting day(s) that Kevin will be announcing on the board sometime next month, but we’re not certain. If you MUST be an extra, I’d take that approach, but we’re gonna take our chances and wait for Kevin’s announcement.
