That should keep you folks busy for a while!
The cutting duties have now about evened up between Scott and me, what with all the myriad writing assignments I’ve been catching up on (the Jay and Bob mini, Daredevil, etc.).
Our editing process works one of two ways:
1) I cut to my satisfaction.
2) Scott cuts, and I tweak what he’s done.
The latter never really takes all that much, as Mos is about the most incisive cat on the planet about the performances I dig. The former basically skips the tweaking process, as I’m doing the cutting.
The man did a brilliant job at cutting what we refer to as ‘the Fat Albert scene’. I think I would’ve been a little too close to that one to do it justice. After a shot thrown in here, a shot moved there, we’re left with what may possibly be View Askew’s finest hour on film. Can’t wait for ya’ll to see it – so much so, that I wish I could invite you into the editing room for a look (but the room’s too damn small, and Miramax would have my balls). I will say, however, that it might be a good idea for the curious to attend the San Diego ComiCon. Not saying why, mind you;it’s just a good idea…
Kev also hinted that the new and improved Stash/VA Offices will be open in September or October. Looks like another trip to Red Bank will be in order for us…
We’re working on the ‘Mallrats’ Special Edition.
Now for the irony: it’s on DVD.
Looks like it’ll be released sometime after January (the advance on these things is 120 days from delivery of materials), and it’ll include the trailer, the video, and all that extra footage some of you have seen. We’re also working on getting some dear friends in for a little commentary action, and the box art is going the be the theatrical artwork (thank the Lord).
With Miramax and Criterion both involved in the DVD market, we expect to see Crtierion’s Amy disc moved onto DVD (they seem to be slowly catching up ALL their titles) and the Max’s Clerks SE will HOPEFULLY follow (though Miramax has been slipping bigtime with DVD and NOT including any of the extras on their discs…just the movie and a trailer). Time will tell. We’ll keep you posted on the latest.
The weather’s been beautiful this weekend here in Central PA, so we’ve been outside enjoying it a bit…But, rest assured, we’re back with a nice update for ya. The new board went up on Friday, and we most certainly dig it. Things seem to be much calmer over there now. Kevin even dropped in to answer a few questions and drop a few big scoops (see below). And now, our top story:
