  • In the spirit of keeping up with stuff and making it exclusive to RC, we’ve added a few new articles on our Dogma site. Mostly summaries of stuff we know already, as the press gets caught up on all the latest (The Lions Gate stuff especially). Check them out here and here.
  • DVDexpress has made a list of the top 25 DVD’s based on content of deleted scenes. Not surprisingly, the jam-packed View Askew DVDs have ranked incredibly well. Mallrats is number 1 and Clerks is number 8.
  • Finally, on the lighter side of things…What if the battle of Mr T. vs. Clerks took place? Find out here. We can just see it now. “I pity the fool that don’t give me a pack of cigarettes!”.

  • So. Wow. Here we go…The start of yet another exciting week here at News Askew. Ya never know what’s gonna happen, and we guess that’s part of the fun. As for the new server, we’re hammering it pretty hard, and we’re told they’re not used to this high volume of a site. Oh well. Hopefully they don’t kick us off, it’s the first we’ve heard of this. That’s a good sign that we’re getting mondo hits, and that makes us happy! Speaking of that, you may have noticed the counters crashed yesterday. Neither us OR our new hosts could tell us why. We reset the main counters, but got rid of many of the counters on our subpages to try and prevent it from happening again. Now, there’s only counters on News Askew and Dogma RC.

As for other stuff, yes, we still have some ideas up our sleeves, but it’s all been happening so slowly around here with the switch that we can’t introduce stuff as quickly as we’d like. Bear with us. Hopefully all of you are finding us at the new server by now, but if you’re STILL getting that white forwarding page, let us know. Otherwise, the old server will go completely offline, sometime this week we believe.

Alright, at this point, not much more to say, except…On with the show!
