  • We got quite a few scans in of that Young Justice page, so thanks to all who sent it in. Strange, though, we don’t thinkthey look too much like Jay & Bob ourselves…

  • Here’s that Village Voice comic on Dogma — We’re not sure if it’s trying to be positive or negative really, or just silly, but it was mentioned so what the heck. Click the thumb to read it.

  • Scan #3 for today — Here’s that ad for Dogma that ran in a few papers recently. Click to enlarge.
  • In the latest issue of GQ, starting on page 205, there’s a 4 page piece on Kevin. Reason enough for buying the issuefor yourself, but we WILL try and get a transcription online — If anyone’s got the photos or a TEXT version of the piece,please let us know. We’re just low on time for transcribing scans lately.
  • IF Magazine has posted an excellent review with Chris Rock — He talks about how he came onto the Dogma project, andlots of other stuff. Part One is available now and can be read HERE.
  • Amazon.Com now has the Dogma screenplay book for pre-order — $10.40. We suggest waiting for the Stash to get copiesof the book in, though, we’re sure they’ll have SIGNED editions at a really fair price. Worth the wait.

  • Looks like the TV media blitz has started nice and early for Dogma! We’ve got reports from folks spotting the Dogma commercial (which is basically a condensed version of the trailer with a couple of new scene bits) — Some saw it while watching Ghostbusters 2 on Comedy Central (A walking Statue of Liberty? Puh-lease) and also during Charmed on the WB (We watch it for the articles). The E! network has also been airing the spot off and on. We’re sure these are just the first of many, many more networks that will be airing the ad. Not that the flick needs it too much after all this press we’ve had leading up to the release, but some more promotion can never hurt!

Kevin On Conan O’Brien Nov. 2!!!

October 24th @ 12:00 am | No Comments » | Scooped by Brad & Chris

  • An anonymous, helpful source tells us that Kevin Smith will be appearing on Late Night With Conan O’Brien on Tuesday, November the 2nd! There are no more tickets available for that show, but, anyone interested in getting standby tickets needs to be at the 49th street side of 30 Rockefeller Plaza, right underneath where it says NBC Studios. The tickets are distributed at 9AM in numbered order. So, if you are #1 at 9am, you will be #1 when you come back at 4:15pm, right before show time. The standby tickets do not guarantee admission, but, depending upon how many regular ticket holders show up, some stand-bys do get in. Have fun, and send us your stories….

Also on the Conan front, Ben Affleck’s listed as a guest during the week of November 9-12, when the show heads out to Los Angeles. We assume he’ll be there to promote Dogma.

Commentary

October 24th @ 12:00 am | No Comments » | Scooped by Brad & Chris

  • Believe it or not, here it is only SUNDAY and we’re writing an update. That’s dedication, huh? The move went incredibly smoothly, thanks to all of our good friends who took time out of their Saturday (and got up horribly early) to carry the heavy stuff — We got 3 people moved to 3 totally different locations in about 7 hours — Not bad, ‘eh? Anyway, I’m actually almost totally unpacked, still lots of stuff to set up the way I want it, but having the last week to spend in the new house helped a lot. Chris, on the other hand, has about 50 boxes piled up at his place from what I hear, and is slowly finding a spot for everything. He’s got his PC set up, though!

Remember, you can still reach us at our newsaskew.com e-mail addresses, even though we’ve moved into new areas.

Now, for the update: There’s some headliners today and the usual newsbites for your enjoyment. Ahhh, it’s nice to be back:
