• We’re predicting another lull here (though we could be wrong) due to the major appearances being over and things quietly getting prepared for the next flick (VA5). If things are as fast-tracked as they seem, though, Kevin may have some more surprises than we’d expected. If they want to film this Fall, some castings should be confirmed very soon (in addition to those that Kevin already said he had on board earlier). From the folks he’s gotten back already, it sure seems like there’s going to be a lot going on in this flick. It ALSO seems like things will be kept fairly quiet, with only a few folks getting a look at the script. Let’s hope it stays that way. We’ll surely have as much news as we can reveal on the film, but it wouldn’t hurt to have a few genuine surprises in there, either.

On to other things: Anyone catch “Hollow Man” last weekend? Two words: Invisible puke. Still, movies have been on the lackluster side this summer, maybe it’s just that we’re becoming too jaded, but it takes more and more to impress these days, it seems. TV’s been overflowing with reality type stuff lately, too…Fox has a new show called American High that follows a bunch of high school kids around for a year, documentary-style. It was actually pretty good, too. There’s just too many of these shows running right now, though, something’s gonna hafta give. Just so long as that annoying Rich dude doesn’t take the prize in “Survivor”. Anything but that.

Today we’ve got a small bit of stuff for ya, including Kevin clearing the air on View Askew 5, a couple more pics and parting thoughts on the Chicago con, and some NewsBites. Like we said, things are gonna be quiet for a while. Let’s take a look:
