• A very fun, nifty site to promote the Jay & Bob DVD has gone live from Buena Vista. The site features a fun little animated cartoon that creates some scenes from the film, a PDF printable copy of the Jay & Bob Doorhanger, and more. Check it out right HERE.

Here’s some other news on the DVD:

• Certain outlets aren’t carrying the DVD for some strange reason. Reports are coming in that the disc isn’t being shipped to ANY Target stores due to “objectionable content” (though they have no problem stocking a ton of other violent and R-rated flicks). The disc is also selling out or in short supply all over the place. If you want one, you better get them while they last!
• Not all the reviews on the disc are positive, which is a surprise to us. The LA Times didn’t have a lot of good things to say about the flick, but seemed to like “Drawing Flies” OK. Reel Buff has a review which doesn’t praise the DVD as much as the previous View Askew discs, but likes the flick itself.
• More positive reviews on the disc appeared today in the excellent e-mail and webzine Zentertainment and the Arizona State University daily campus newspaper.

• We’ve got an update for you on Kevin’s upcoming appearance at the University of Kentucky. The site that previously held the information on this has been down for weeks, so here’s an update for potential visitors.

Tickets went on sale this morning at 10:00 AM through Ticketmaster, for $10 a piece (before the stupid Ticketmaster surcharge fees). If you buy your tickets in person at the University of Kentucky Student Center Ticketmaster Outlet, however, there aren’t any additional fees. They seem to be going fast, so if you’re thinking of buying, get ‘em soon.

Kevin will be appearing in Memorial Coliseum on the University of Kentucky campus (aka “the hall in the middle of the UK logo”), which is rather easy to find.

• Ben Affleck’s “Sum of All Fears” trailer is now online, and reaction so far has been quite positive. It’s a slick trailer, and certainly looks like a decent flick. You can view the trailer in a streaming version at Yahoo Movies. Thanks to Dark Horizons for the story.
• The new Jason Lee flick (with Tom Green) has had yet ANOTHER name change take place, and this one’s supposed to stick: “Stealing Harvard”. Details HERE.
• Steven Grant mentions the upcoming “Black Cat” miniseries briefly in his “Permanent Damage” column.
• In this POPImage interview with Phil Hester, Green Arrow & ‘The Brave and the Bold’ are mentioned.

• And finally today, just something fun — News from BEFORE News Askew even existed. We received scans of these articles from an old issue of the British film magazine EMPIRE from June 1995. There’s a four-star review of Clerks and there’s also an interview with Kevin all about the film. Way retro. See ya next time.
