• Hey folks, just wanted to drop you a line and say we’ll be back tomorrow with an update, more Green Arrow IGN news, Jay & Bob stuff from ShoWest, and more! See you sometime on Sunday.

Also, be sure and wish Chris a happy birthday today (especially you ladies out there) as he’s turning the big 28. Catch ya later…

• Hey folks…Just wanted to take the time to catch up on some newsbites before the weekend kicks off. We decided that Mondays would be a better day to post new Scott Mosier pics from the J&SBSB set, for better visibility as well as maybe a good reason for some of you to get out of bed and come back to work. So, look for 3 brand new, never before seen pics on Monday.

Something else to think/talk about – Has the site been running slower for you lately, namely, since the new forums went online? The forums are quite active and doing very well, however, we’d hate to think that they were causing the site to load slower as this remains our most important focus. So, what do you folks think? Especially those of you with 56k modems? The server that this site runs on can only take so much, we assume, and we may be pushing the limits of bandwidth with the Forums running so actively.

Finally today, I just wanted to thank some folks that I’ve been meaning to for quite some time now for their help and advice a few weeks ago when I was looking for some PC hardware. Thanks to Ken Rogers, Derrick Van Vechten, Jeff Field, & Jason Glover. Your help is very much appreciated and links on the contributors page will be there as thanks to you for as long as this site runs. Thanks again!

By the way, you know that the both of us are suckers for all the reality shows out there…And there’s two cool flicks out there right now that it would be really cool to see. If anyone’s got screener copies of “Series 7” or “Battle Royale” (which is probably really rare), drop me a line. As always, your tapes are safe, won’t get bootlegged, etc etc etc. Oh, and has anyone seen “Memento” yet? Rumor has it that it’s pretty cool and the trailer was intriguing. You can watch the first 8 minutes of that one over at IFilm.Com as well, I believe.

In case you missed it, be sure and check out our on location report from the Jay & Silent Bob set, part 1 of 2. Part 2 should arrive early next week if all goes well. Alright, now for those newsbites…

• Some nice, high profile mentions in the latest ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY, with Jessica Alba on the cover. On page 62, in the books section, you can read a review for green arrow, which received an A-. Very high marks! Even cooler, on page 70, under internet there lies a section of “heatwave” (a list of all the hot summer movie sites). It plugs Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back with the likes of Tomb Raider, A.I., Pearl Harbor, and others.
• Anderson Jones of E! Online reports that Hollywood has taken notice of the red hot sales on the newly relaunched DC Comics title Green Arrow. The comic features a revamping of the character by filmmaker Kevin Smith. He’s quoted as saying “film producers are already sniffing around.” Could be interesting to see where this one goes. Thanks to E! Online and Comics2Film.
• Brian O’Halloran is doing the production “An Unhappy Woman” with the New Jersey Reportory Company. It’s a romantic comedy by Michael T. Folie. It’s described as “A dark comedy about the search for happiness in a futuristic American society.” Performance happen in Long Branch until March 11, 2001. Thursdays through Saturdays at 8 p.m.; Sundays at 2 p.m. Catch it if you can.
• Those of you anxious to see Jason Lee in “Heartbreakers” might be able to catch it tomorrow night, as sneak previews of the film are happening around the country. Check with your local theaters!
• Finally today, some View Askew obscurity, Mallrats nemesis Michael Rooker’s in the news, From the latest issue of “New York” Magazine (3/12):

I believe we speak for everyone when we say…Thanks, Mike. Then again, we doubt many folks will want to see a new Van Damme flick, anyway. Enjoy the weekend, folks.
