• Howdy folks, things calmed down a bit today after a HUGE update yesterday. It’s certainly not been easy keeping up with stuff, but we do thank you for all the scoops. A lot of the monthly magazine type promotional stuff has already arrived, but you can expect some newspaper, radio, and television promotion in the coming weeks. There’s going to be a TON of reviews coming out on the flick, as well. We’ll make an effort to catalog a lot of those over at “Scooping The Monkey” for ya. So far, critical and fan response has been overwhelmingly positive. A good sign. But still, the moviegoing public (that’s you people and the word of mouth that you get going) will decide the box office.

Speaking of updates, this will be the last update until Thursday, as a group of us are heading into Camden, NJ for a daylong outdoor concert tomorrow. If anything major breaks, you’ll be able to catch it over at the talkbacks, forums, or at the View Askew boards we’re sure. Otherwise, check back for a big new update on Thursday.

We’ve also got the first winner from our Talkback spotlight contest. This post from last weekend:

Congrats to Snoogans for winning the first of the limited “Stroke 9 – Kick Some Ass” promo CDs. Two left to go…We’ll pick another good Talkback post to spotlight and another winner next week.

A sidenote: We’re getting TONS of e-mails containing that new e-mail worm going around at home, and a lot of them are from familiar folks who read this site (and it spreads from there). Please scan your systems for this latest virus, as it’s not much of a threat to us, it’s still a pain. Plus you’re probably sending out to a TON of other folks that you may affect. Watch out!

• As a followup to yesterday’s story, a fan overheard Kevin state that the “Judge Not” Dogma documentary would likely appear on the Vulgar DVD, when it’s eventually released. Again, this is unconfirmed, but seems likely. If this is the case, don’t expect to see it for at least another 6 months or so. We’ll keep you posted as we learn more.
• The Afroman track and another big mention were heard on this morning’s Howard Stern show. Stern also urged Kevin (who listens regularly) to call in to discuss Afroman and the song. Hopefully this means Kevin will be able to book a phone call into the show soon, it’ll be a great way to get a big plug out to a TON of listeners, many of whom fall into the key demographic that Dimension is shooting for with J&SBSB. If you’re reading this, Kevin, give the show a call soon!
• Speaking of Afroman, there’s an official website HERE that’s got a lot of info on the band as well as a bunch of downloadable tunes. Check it out.

• Those of you addicted to that computer game “The Sims” might be interested in these new skins, including, Bluntman and Chronic, Banky, Brodie, Dante and Randal. Here’s some pics of them in action. We’ve got the free addon files over at Files Askew for you, as well.
• Attention Green Arrow fans: The Unofficial Green Arrow Compendium has moved and evolved. You can check the site out at its new home HERE.
• Finally today, a very grainy pic and a mention appear at the offical Star Wars website along with this blurb:
