• Another quiet, relaxing weekend here at News Askew headquarters. Not too much to report, but some might-be interesting info for those of you who want to catch the Askew events in Toronto in September. Oh, one other thing too — We mistakenly caught an interview with Kevin & John Pierson on IFC at 5:30 PM today, chatting about the Dogma trials and tribulations as well as the premiere itself. We assume this was a rerun, but apologize for not mentioning it. The episode was part one of a two part interview, so if anyone sees the second part coming up on the air, please let us know.

We’ve also added a new poll topic. Thanks for your thoughts on the mousepads and t-shirts. Seems that the interest was quite high in them, with around 40% of you showing interest in BOTH items and around 40% of you showing interest in one of the items. Makes a strong case to get the suckers in production. We’re going to do all we can to help that along, so hopefully we’ll have some good news on that front soon.

• Nothing’s been officially announced yet, but an anonymous scooper caught a glance at a tentative schedule for the events at the Toronto Film Festival…So, while we can’t PROMISE these events or times, this may very well be the first place ANYWHERE you’re seeing this stuff. Enjoy!

The OFFICIAL schedule’s coming out on August 29th, so if anything changes or is added, we’ll have it for ya here. Otherwise, there’s your exclusive first look at the View Askew events schedule for TIFF. I should have stayed in Canada! The biggest news here is not only the premiere of the long-awaited Vulgar with Brian O’Halloran, but that it appears Kevin’s JAWS screening with comments afterward has been cancelled or changed to the DTRT screening, as JAWS was on a post-it and crossed out on their temporary schedule. That’s all we’ve got for now…
