- We’ve been getting lots of info on Kev’s upcoming appearance on The Sundance Channel‘s “Conversations in World Cinema”. His episode is due to be finished about a week from tomorrow, and we’ll be getting an advanced look at the piece for review here at the site. The show itself airs on TSC in May.
- Kev, Joe, & Jimmy all sat down to record a commentary track for the upcoming DareDevil CD-ROM recently, which sounds like a way cool project. The latest Wizard (#104) has a 2-page story on the disc, which we expect will cover DD’s life at least since the Marvel Knights project started with Kev’s 8-issue arc.

Mallrats DVD COMMENTARY Drinking Game…
- An inspired scooper sent us these rules for a drinking game based on the Mallrats DVD commentary track (NOT the film, like our game), and we certainly thought it was creative enough to give a mention. Check out the rules below, but remember, News Askew does not hold itself responsible for anything that may happen from playing the game, and don’t drive anywhere if ya do, for god’s sake:
- ONE SHOT WHEN:
- Someone refers to someone else by a movie they have appeared in (such as “Phantom’s Ben Affleck”)
- The word “pottymouth” is used
- The original opening of the film is mentioned
- Ben Affleck is interrupted in order to point out Brian or Walt.
(take an extra shot if Ben is the one interrupting other people for the same reason)
- Jay plugs the Secret Stash and the merchandise that can be purchased there.(take an extra shot if he gives the address and phone number)
- Ben Affleck’s twin brother “Barney” is mentioned.
- Really bad ADR is used.
TWO SHOTS WHEN:
- The guy with the crossbeam walks past in the background.
- Jay tells a story that makes no sense and goes nowhere.
- Kevin Smith uses the word “ostensibly”.
- A comment is made about Ben Affleck’s “peeps”.
- Ben Affleck complains about Kevin Smith’s use of background scenery.
THREE SHOTS WHEN:
- A characters hair changes drastically between scenes and everyone groans…
Commentary
- Well folks, welcome to the BIGGEST lull in News Askew in our almost 3 year history! Yep, things are MAJOR slow this week, so we apologize, there just hasn’t been much to say, and we’re certainly not going to update if there’s nothing at all going on. With Kev’s upcoming appearance and a hopeful announcement on the animated series and next feature film though, we’re sure things will pick up soon. Until then, just one item and a few smaller newsbites for ya. Sorry, everyone, best that we could do today!
