  • Looks like we’ve reached the close of another business week – Thank goodness! Probably gonna catch “Deep Blue Sea” this weekend, cuz hey, we’re suckers for a flick about super intelligent sharks. And we actually LIKED Harlin’s last one, “The Long Kiss Goodnight”. So there! We’ve seen “Blair Witch” enough already to probably keep us away from opening weekend, but we hope to go see it with a crowd this weekend or soon after. Should be interesting, anyway. We hear that they’ve made a few last minute modifications and beefed up the sound for the theatrical release, too. They can have our money, it’s definitely a movie worth coughing it up for!

Today on the News Askew front, a bunch of small stuff – Some last minute pics and notes on the Wizard appearance came in, so surf back to the Wrapup page if you wanna check that out. Other than that, your usual assortment of bits and pieces to fill that empty void that the lack of a Dogma release announcement is leaving in your View Askew world. Here we go, kids:

  • Just to catch up on a few little DVD-related bits that slipped through the cracks…The Digital Bits guys reviewed the Clerks CE, and DVD File actually did a comparison of the 2 View Askew DVDs on the market so far, Clerks & Mallrats.

  • Jay & Silent Bob, anime style…It’s been a while since we’ve seen some new art featuring these guys, so this SHOULD hold ya til Jay & BOb issue 4 hits shelves at the end of August, as we’ve been told.
  • The first clips from the highly anticipated “The Talented Mr. Ripley” will be shown on Entertainment Tonight…tonight. It looks to include a Matt Damon interview.

“Remember when the mall was the main source of entertainment in your life? When, if you couldn’t go at least three times a week you would die from Orange Julius and hot-dog-on-a-stick withdrawals? It’s an addicition some of us never recover from. Get your fix for those junior high days with Mallrats, starring Shannen Doherty, as she and her other slacker friends (and enemies) encounter a game show at the mall. Madness ensues quickly, of course, but that’s all part of the merriment that makes Mallrats so mischievous.”

What movie did THEY see? Have a fun weekend. We’ll check in sometime.
