• The publication we mentioned yesterday, In Pittsburgh, has a review of “A Better Place” appearing in tomorrow’s issue (Since the flick hits town on the 21st). Pick up an issue if you’re in the area! We’ll get the review online for ya ASAP.
• In today’s promotions department: We’ve been asked to promote a Ben Affleck site on the web, and, of course, we’re happy to help out: Visit the site http://www.pond.com/~jshih/ben.html for a ton of Ben stuff and some Damon thrown in for good measure.
• Finally today, if ANYONE’S got a copy or two of the article in which View Askew and News Askew were mentioned from March 29th’s Detroit Free Press, could you PLEASE mail it to us? Our mailing address can be found on our Contributors page, or you can e-mail me directly. Dig through those recyclables! Much appreciated.

• Here’s a cool little bite from today’s Hollywood Reporter :

They’re going all out to ensure this is one of the summer’s biggest blockbusters! Honestly, we just read CineScape‘s summer preview, and there’s REALLY not much coming out this summer that’s worth seeing. We’re sure the flick will do quite well.

• The Announcements were made yesterday for the 7th annual MTV Movie awards…Sure, we know that it’s not the Oscars, but it’s usually a fun show with lots of celebs and interesting awards. Good Will Hunting and Chasing Amy grabbed a few nods, let’s hope to see some of those heavy popcorn things coming our way! Here’s the noms we’re concerned with:

1998 Movie Awards

Best Movie-Good Will Hunting

Best Male Performance-Matt Damon, for GWH

Best Onscreen Duo-Matt Damon/Ben Affleck, for GWH

Breakthrough Performance-Joey Lauren Adams, for Chasing Amy

Best Onscreen Kiss-Joey Lauren Adams/Carmen Lee, for CA

Best Onscreen Kiss-Matt Damon/Minnie Driver, for GWH

Best Kiss is always a fun award…Remember when the “kiss” from Species won a couple years back?
