- Mallrats is hitting cable, complete and uncut (unlike that ABC debacle earlier this year), on the cable channel Starz this Tuesday at 2:45. Set those VCRs or tune in if you’re a night owl!
- Salon Magazine was kind enough to give us a nice plug…Too bad it’s yet AGAIN credited to the View Askew site and NOT the News Askew site! All the same, at least they like us:
ViewAskew.com: Director Kevin Smith (“Clerks,” “Chasing Amy”) has more than made up for inflicting “Mallrats” on an unsuspecting public with a fantastic site that is the first and best destination for his fans. As he puts it, the site gives you “the power of communication, as you can actually interact with the losers who hit it big with their movies of smut and conscience!” Interested in the controversy surrounding Smith’s upcoming Matt Damon-Ben Affleck flick “Dogma”? Click over to the “Dogma: Rumor Control” section, in which the filmmaker gives his take on the brouhaha and offers the curious a bushel of info on the pic. View Askew also offers one of the better collections of celebrity merchandise, including signed editions of the Smith-penned “Daredevil” comic book series and Jay and Silent Bob action figures. And let’s be honest: How many directors would go to the trouble to explain how to play drinking games to their films? Spielberg? Scorsese? Not a chance. The site even gives you the option of printing the rules out in an easy-to-read format, perfect after you’ve had one too many. Finally, a celebrity who cares about the little people.
Okay, so the signed stuff IS View Askew…But drinking games and Dogma RC? Oh well…We’re glad they at least gotnoticed, even if it WAS erroneously! But please, press-type people, realize we are NOT View Askew! Thanks.
- The current issue of Spin Magazine has a 1 page piece on Ethan Suplee. It covers his past work and he mentions Dogma and how Kevin wrote the shit demon part for him. Ethan mentions that it was taken as a huge compliment. Check the issue for the full story, available now at your local newsstand.
- The latest IndieWire mentions our story on Kevin’s marriage and gives us a nice plug…Thanks guys!
