• On today’s ISA awards broadcast, Randy Quaid and Vicki Lewis did a bit claiming that “IFP/West is going broke and will introduce a new series of Independent Ice Cream flavors”. One was “Chasing Amy Crunch”. “It starts out one flavor, then in the middle switches then at the bottom switches flavor back to what it was before.” Gave us a chuckle, anyway!

• Claire Forlani was named “Movie Babe of the Day” over at The Den today.
• Finally today, just a reminder that Issue 1 of Judd Winick’s excellent comic “The Adventures of Barry Ween” is now available everywhere…A View Askew fan should certainly enjoy it, we think it’s great, and hey, Judd’s a good guy. So go out and check out this book. You won’t be disappointed. If you don’t see it at your local shop, ASK!

That about does it for today…Be seein’ ya!

• Ben Affleck, who does some amateur photography in his spare time, posted the first of his pics from the Dogma set today. There’s some really cool stuff here, including the first pic we’ve seen of Chris Rock on set, and Ben with a couple, shall we say, close friends. That one’s sort-of a spoiler, but it’s a great pic, so we blurred it but posted it full size and uncensored. Click the thumbnails to blow them up. Thanks to Ben & the fine folks over at affleck.com for the pics.

• A really slow go ’round these parts today, but we did manage to revamp NewsCam with a new, easier to load page, and some other nice features as well. So, give that a looksee. Also, Affleck’s posting some Dogma set pics on his site that we’ve got here for ya, as well as just a few NewsBites.

• UPDATE: We’ve got some fairly important news to break in with here, because we screwed up and we gotta make a correction or two. It turns out that two appearances that we announced on this site have never actually been scheduled, we’re sorry to say. The first, the April Golden Apple Comics appearance that we read about HERE does not exist, so it must be a misprint on the website. Second, Kevin’s Sonoma gig also does not exist, and must have been sent it to us by someone either who was unsure or just yanking our chain. We didn’t verify that one, we just sorta took it as gospel, so, we apologize. Kevin himself contacted us with the info on the non-existance of these events, so you can pretty much take that as official word. Again, our apologies for the mistake.
