• Well folks, another week of News Askew behind us, and just one month between now and what’s sure to become another famous event in Askew history, Vulgarthon 2000. We’ve got our reservations all set at the ‘ol Holiday Inn and look forward to meeting many of you there. It’s been fairly quiet regarding news on the ‘thon itself, but we’re sure that will change a the event draws near.

Has anyone been reading the reviews going around about Aronofsky‘s “Requiem For A Dream”? Sounds fantastic! If anyone’s got a screener tape of this flick they wouldn’t mind passing on, I assure you it won’t leave these walls, and I’ll still pay the 8 bucks to see it theatrically too. The flick wowed audiences in Toronto and sounds like one that’s too cool to have to wait for.

Oh, and in TV news – It was announced tonight that Eddie won the first US Big Brother competition. Good for him. He was the only of the bunch who wasn’t afraid to admit he came into the house to win the money, not just “for the experience”. No way would any sane person go without TV for 3 months just “for the experience”. 🙂

There’s a smattering of stuff today, including some more sketchy details on the Bloomsburg University appearance, and just a couple newsbites. Have a great weekend folks, see ya next update:

• Students at the school say the show will most likely be at Haas Auditorium in Mitrani Hall. The number to get you to the box office is probably (570) 389-4000, but there are NO ORDERS for tickets being taken at this time. They will go on sale on THURSDAY, OCTOBER 5th. You can get them at the Bloomsburg information desk, or over the phone by credit card ONLY. If ya phone it in, a slight processing charge will be added. More details and a final phone number should be made available soon. We’ll have it for ya when that time comes. Depending on how far a ride in it is, too, we might make the trip in for this one, though with the ‘thon coming up a couple weeks after, it may be a bit much. We shall see…

• Kevin reported at the web board recently that he is in no way involved with the Daredevil film in development, but may someday team up with new Marvel bigwig Joe Quesada to whip something else up. We’ll be watching…
• Big kudos for Clerks from UK movie magazine Total Film. They’ve got an article on the fifty greatest comedies ever made. Clerks came a respectable 16th place, beating the likes of “Pulp Fiction”, “Animal House”, and “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off”.Monty Python’s “Life Of Brian” took top honors.
• For you Hollywood Stock Exchangers, VULGAR stock goes on sale over there on October 6 under the VULGAR. Happy trading.
