  • Original action figures from View Askew flicks are always cool — This fan’s converted a “Matilda” 12″ doll, by 21st Century Toys, into “God” from Dogma. She admits that the likeness is a tad shaky, but she’s honing that skill! Hopefully we’ll see more from her soon. The clothes on the doll, by the way, were custom done as well.
  • More View Askew film appearances have shown up in the last two Invisibles Games at the Filmwise website.
  • A lot of you have been writing us about a country music song called “Chasing Amy”. Here’s some more info on that one:
Q I just heard a song called “Chasin’ Amy” and was wondering if it was inspired by the film of that name.

– Anne Haggerty, Herndon, Va.

A “We kind of stole that title!” admits Brett James with a laugh. He and co-writer Troy Verges were in a video store when they spotted the 1997 film Chasing Amy by writer/director Kevin Smith — and inspiration struck. They wrote the tune, Brett’s debut single, without seeing the movie. Brett jokes, “I’m gonna wait until it’s a Top 10!”

  • Clerks: The Cartoon vet Chris Bailey’s got a new series on The Disney Channel, called “Kim Possible”. Bailey’s got a great style (he of course created the perty logo you see at the top of this site) — If you’ve got the channel on your cable or satellite system, check your local listings!

  • One fan took this fun little South Park shockwave application to build a South Park likeness of Jay & Silent Bob (see above). What can you create?
  • At a recent concert (Y100’s FEZtival in Camden, NJ), one of the rappers from the Icelandic band “Quarashi” was wearing a Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back t-shirt during the show. Glad to hear the influence is spreading around the globe.
