- Yet another Askewed trivia question appears today at the famous Internet Movie Database website:
Q: Truly Trivial
Despite there being no violence, sex or nudity in the film, it was originally given an NC-17 rating by the MPAA based solely on its graphic dialogue. The film’s distributor Miramax hired attorney Alan Dershowitz to petition the MPAA to lower its rating to R.
You should know the answer to that one, folks!
- Sounds like “Powers” penciller artist Mike Avon Oeming might be working on a Kevin Smith project (likely, one of the upcoming View Askew comics). Check out a post of his from Michael Bendis’s message board below:
“So I just got Dogma, Clerks, Mallrats and Chasing Amy on DVD – I’d never seen Chasing Amy before. I like his other films (even Mallrats was fun:)) BUT MAN! Chasing Amy was amazing. Not just because of the comic connection (You’re a tracer!) but I couldn’t believe how insightful it was. It was fucking great! Dogma still hurts my ribs from cracking up.
Gee, I wonder why I’m watching all these Kevin Smith movies???:) ”
- Finally today, congrats to Askewer and long time News Askew reader Brian Higgins, who writes us with the news that the play he wrote called “Comic Huzzah!” , inspired by Kev’s films and dialogue (and the comic book community as a whole), will be presented at his school and directed by him. Bravo, Brian.
