• Hey folks, it’s been a while since we checked in with one of these, so we figured, what the heck? As expected, now that the big DVD release date and the Flying Car has aired, it’s a bit quiet now. Of course, Kevin’s a busy guy, so we’ll still have almost daily updates but, like today, they may be light at times.

There’s still long and short term plans for the site, and we’re certainly going to take advantage of some of the quiet update time to work on that other stuff. Look for the new Jay & Bob drinking game, Drawing Flies DVD review, and some fixes and improvements over in our Forums in the short term. Other long term plans include catching up with other DVD reviews, an easier to use chat area (with some scheduled live celebrity chats), contests, and more. We’ve got a lot of ideas to work on, time is really the biggest factor with what does and does not get done. We’re fully dedicated to keeping the site fun and interesting though, so look for more surprises and additions in the coming months, before Jersey Girl starts to film and we get busier again.

In other news, some good flicks starting to hit theaters soon as we approach summer – “Panic Room” certainly looks intriguing, and then there’s of course “Star Wars” and “Spider-Man” this summer. By the way, in case you haven’t heard, a NEW Episode II trailer will air at 9:00 PM this Sunday on FOX TV. It’ll be here before the internet, theaters or anything. Be sure to tune in or set your VCR. And speaking of TV, there’s been some good stuff this year – New shows like Alias and 24 have been quite compelling, and if you’re not watching Angel on the WB, you’re missing a fantastic story arc this year. Old faves like The Simpsons, ER and Law & Order have also been strong, and HBO’s got a new season Six Feet Under back on the schedule, worth a look.

Finally, a very strange request I was hoping you could help me with — I recently bought some doorknobs on ebay, figuring I could get the rest I needed locally — Turns out they’re quite hard to come by (at least at a fair price). Anyway, if you’re wandering into a Home Depot or Lowes, or know someone with connections, I’m trying to locate some Kwikset Ultramax doorknobs in the WINDHAM egg-shaped satin nickel finish. You can find a pic of them HERE. If you’ve got a line on any (at a better price than 40 dollars a pop like that site has) drop me a line. The local Home Depot and Lowes have them on display, but claim they can’t get any in stock. Maybe they’re more available in other parts of the country or to contractors.

Sorry for the diversion. And now, just a few quick bits of News Askew for ya today:
