View Askew NewsBites™

July 25th @ 12:00 am | No Comments » | Scooped by Dan Hernandez & Kent Jackway

  • As promised, more icons and cursors for the Bluntman & Chronic theme are now available over at Files Askew. Make everyone’s favorite crime fighters a part of your desktop! Enjoy.
  • Sometimes View Askew references show up in the strangest places…In the Star Wars cards for Decipher’s Ender expansion, the “Elite Squadron Stormtrooper” card reads: “Commander Igar selected the Empire’s most dedicated stormtroopers to guard Endor for the Emperor. All they know is killing and white uniforms.” Perhaps Kevin needs to demand some royalties?
  • Finally today, congratulations to Vincent Guastini, the makeup effects guy on Dogma — He was just nominated for an Emmy for his work on Saturday Night Live! Good luck at the big show!

IGN Interviews Kev…

  • IGN, who seem to really be doing a TON of View Askew stuff lately, have psoted a new interview with Kevin. Looks like this one’s got more of a comics flair to it, so if you’re looking for the man’s insights on the books he’s done and has lined up for the future, this is the place to be.

IGN Also lists Clerks as their #10 Guy movie, by the way:

10. Clerks
This Kevin Smith movie has it all: oral sex references, hermaphroditic porn, roller hockey on the roof, and best of all: Jay and Silent Bob.

  • This may be very GOOD or very BAD news depending on how you take it…So, the GOOD news is — Jay & Silent Bob’s Secret Stash is now a FULLY SECURE online ordering site! This means that if you’ve got a credit card and a mailing address, you’re all set to hit the website and drop some major dough. The BAD news? Well – With ordering View Askew stuff now made THIS easy, how are you gonna pay your OTHER bills?

Commentary

  • Howdy folks…Sunday update for ya. As predicted, things have calmed down considerably, and we’re using this time to begin the move of files over to the new server. We’ll let you know when it’s complete just in case you experience any weirdness when we flick the switch – The move may not take place until the end of this week though.

A new poll’s been added, thanks to Renee. Last week, it was a CLOSE race — While a great deal of you checked in saying that while you weren’t DD readers before, Kev’s great story along with J&J’s superior artwork have gotten ya hooked. A slightly LARGER number of you said you didn’t read the book, though — All we can say to that is, “WHY NOT”? You’re missing some great stuff.
