• A source in Moscow confirms that Dogma is set to open in RUSSIA this APRIL! Here’s the kicker: The theater our scooper works for is a brand new multiplex in Moscow, holding the world’s LARGEST THX screen and 1500 seats! Way cool.
• Hollywood.com‘s MovieTunes web site has listed their Top 20 Soundtracks for 1999. And guess who made the list?

• Film Four has placed an exclusive streaming video with Kevin on their website, regarding Dogma and more. Check it out HERE.
• Dogma’s starting to hit the budget theater circuit (Those places that get flicks after they’ve been out for a while), so now’s a great time to catch it again for just a buck or two.
• And finally today, happy birthday today to View Askew’s Kim Loughran, who redefined the phrase “spit take” with Dogma in 1999. Here’s to many more.

That does it for us! Have a great evening; you won’t see another New Year like it in your lifetime. Happy New Year, everyone!! We’ll see ya back here in 2000.

• Howdy, folks. How are ya? We’ve been getting some curious e-mails asking what we were up to this weekend. Welp, Chris got stuck working today, until 10 PM, so I’m starting the update right now (It’s about 12 noon, 12 hours to go until 2000!). After I finish this, I’m heading out and won’t return until sometime tomorrow, when I hafta head into work and update my company’s web page with the Y2K statuses (which SHOULD be just fine). Hopefully the hangover won’t be too bad and I’ll still be able to type and look at a screen without my head exploding. At any rate, this update should reach you JUST before the Y2K changeover, but chances are many of you won’t catch it until at least the 1st.

Looking back on this past year, it’s been quite a phenomenal one. News Askew continued to grow, and with Dogma’s release, our daily visitors count has never been higher. We became an official View Askew website this year. We saw Dogma’s premiere and watched as the flick took in strong numbers, by far the highest grossing View Askew film ever. We’re happy to still be alive and kicking and, as promised, will have some nice surprises for ya early in the year. At any rate, we’d like to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you for visiting the site this year, as always, it’s YOU that continues to make the difference. Thank you all.

And now, the final Newsbites of the 20th century (how anti-climactic, huh?):
