• Sounds like plans are afoot for a Daredevil film…We’ve heard nothing of Kevin’s involvement with this, but damn, we’d sure love to see the guy get hired to write a screenplay for the flick. We’re sure he wouldn’t want to direct it, but think his screenplay in the right director’s hands could make for a really amazing flick. Maybe they can even bring Joe & Jimmy on board to sketch some original art for an opening credits sequence or something…Anyway, we’ll be watching this one. Right now, Sony Pictures are close to inking the deal with Marvel. That’s all we know so far.
• Dark Horizons posted a review for Damon & Affleck‘s upcoming production “The Third Wheel” today. We don’t know much about the film, but the review IS listed as spoiler filled (and negative) so read at your own risk. We didn’t, and won’t be printing it here for that reason.
• Roger Ebert runs a column in the Chicago Sun Times called “The Movie Answer Man” on Sundays. He answers questions posed by readers, and one of the questions he chose to include on Nov. 21st edition was from a scooper of ours! He asked a question about ‘Dogma’. Below is the question and his response as it appeared in the column.

• In the new issue of The Face magazine in the UK, there’s quite a large article on Kevin Smith (pages 116 thru 122).

The first two pages are a photo of Kevin on what seems to be Asbury Boardwalk, lying down smoking. There’s a banner heading – “The Heretic”, and a couple of paragraphs of text. Next 2 pages are more text and a photo of Kevin behind the door at the QuickStop, followed by two more full pages of text, all to tie in with the UK release of Dogma. There’s a great bit when Kevin and the Journalist bump into Jason Mewes (plus recalling how he remembered his lines so as not to piss off Alan Rickman – a great story when Kev tells it). During the article they go to the Stash, Kevin chats with Gwyneth Paltrow on the phone and he and the Jounalist generally chat about all things Askew (“Big Helium Dog” and “Vulgar” get mentioned). We’re working on the photos and a transcript for ya.

• Finally today, from the wacky ads department…This one actually appeared in a Grand Rapids, Michigan newspaper. Wow, two movies released to theaters at the same time! Kev’s been busier than we thought! Check it out. 😉

Dogma RC updates also continue…Thanks to Jess & Patrick for the new stories. Later.

• In case you’ve missed it, the official View Askew website (which we’re of course now a part of) has been given an incredible facelift. Check out the front page for what we believe is the first sampling of what Jay & Silent Bob will appear like in the Clerks animated series, with a cool graphic (that bears a striking similarity to my new gameroom, which you’ll see a pic of in a few days). The graphic leads into a wonderful front page layout that highlights the sections of the website, along with the latest from Kevin, multimedia clips, and more. As soon as you finish today’s news, do NOT miss checking out the new and amazingly improved ViewAskew.Com!

• Just a quick little starter today, we’ll probably be back with more news — But in the meantime, how’s about helping us out? We’re going to be conducting a fall cleanup of sorts, as well as fixing up some really messy HTML coding (The site may look good on the surface, but it’s a nightmare underneath!). So, in addition to probably a few hours worth of downtime sometime this weekend, we’re also putting up some “experimental” code in the hopes you can check it out for us. Basically, if it WORKS, do NOT write us (Or else our mailbox will explode). What we want to hear is if you have any problems. So, if the page works as well (or better) than it does for ya now, cool. If things do NOT work properly, Please let me know.. In the meantime, simply surf over to this BETA TEST PAGE and report any problems back here. Thanks for your help in making News Askew a better place to visit. Back later…

And, as promised, we are back. It’s late, though, so no time for chit-chat, let’s just get to some news here:
