• Aint It Cool News has 2 stories with Askew ties today, so we thought we’d bring them to your attention. First, they’ve got a script review of “Pearl Harbor”, which to us sounds like they’re shooting for a Titanic-esque flick…A love story based around a catastrophic event, with the the first 2 main acts focusing on the characters, and the final being the all-out FX extravaganza. Will this ambitious big budgeted project work out as well as the big boat? Time will tell. Now that Affleck has been attached to the project for certain, we will be covering it here at the site, but don’t plan on giving it nearly as much coverage as a direct View Askew production (or we have a feeling this would become Pearl Harbor central, and we don’t want that). Anyway, read the Pearl Harbor script review HERE.

Second, a scooper caught a screening of “Untitled”, the next Cameron Crowe project, with Jason Lee. There’s an excellent spoiler-free (though there is a bit of a plot summary) review of the flick posted, and man, is it ever complemetary, calling Lee’s performance “career-making”. Here’s a snippet:

• Well everyone, we’re sorry we didn’t have advanced information on this so more of you could have seen it. If it’s any consolation, each of us missed it, too. Without warning, last night’s episode of Law & Order was indeed the show that featured our own Kevin Smith. Kevin was questioned and appeared a liquor warehouse worker. He was accused of stealing a keg and then commented on a party he’d attended. We will hopefully get some stills or a capture of the appearance for you soon, or we assume the official View Askew site will have it.

Again, sorry for having no notice of this on the site, but no one clued us in that the episode was airing, and it certainly caught us off guard when it did. We hear Kev was fantastic, though, and folks wished for more that the couple minutes of screentime he received. Congrats on your prime-time network TV debut, Kevin!
