- Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back will be part of the program on the Quart festival film program in Norway this summer, joining the ranks of such oher flicks at Men in Black 2 and British fave Ali G. It’s the largest festival in the area.
- The Unrealistic Expectations website now has “Sound Boards†(clickable audio clips) from Clerks, Mallrats, AND Chasing Amy. You can check out their sites HERE.
- You can find a new interview with Matt Damon at the Onion AV Club website. Damon’s been doing the circuit to promote The Bourne Identity.
- A funny clip from the BBC Radio One program we mentioned the other day that aired earlier this week — There was one Interview clip which had Kevin talking about what is appealing for comic book fans, i.e. not being part of the masses, he went on to say “What kind of movies are Rush Hour 2, Planet of the Apes and Legally Blonde? – They’re dogshit moviesâ€. After this quote, they immediately cut away to an interview about Batman with none other than Tim Burton. Fun coincidence!
- IFC’s “Dinner for Five†episode featuring Joey Lauren Adams is re-airing this week. In it, she does talk a bit about Chasing Amy, being mistaken for Renee Zellweger, and more. Check your local listings, we do believe it should re-air again this Saturday at least.
- Matt Booker was kind enough to send us a few exclusive shots taken at the Comics 2002 con in the UK. Click above to check out shots of vet Askew comic artist Duncan Fegredo and the outside of the “This is Our Youth†show featuring Matt Damon & Casey Affleck. Damon’s run on the play recently ended but we’re hearing good things about it.
- Speaking of Damon, we got a report on a radio interview with him that was heard this morning, where some of his View Askew work was discussed:
Matt Damon was on Philly’s Y100 morning show this morning talking about “The Bourne Identityâ€. A really great interview. They talked about everything from the fact that the host Preston and producer Casey Boy absolutely love and crack up every time at the Lion Face/ Lemon Face scene in “Jay and Silent Bob Strike Backâ€. Damon revealed that he has actually done that for performances on stage, including in the play he is performing in London where one of the British performers said, “Oh, God, you Americans actually do that!†(I’m paraphrasing here, but what do you want from me, I caught it on my way to work). He also talked about the filming of “Jersey Girl†in Philly with Ben, his cut cameo in “The Sum of All Fearsâ€, the similarities between Philly and Boston, his pale skin in “The Talented Mr. Ripley†with him staying out of the sun for months and them painting him even paler, and how Kevin usually throws him a bone in his films but since it has a more serious tone he’s not sure if he’ll be using the same people as usual. All in all, a good interview. It was over the phone but originally scheduled to be in studio, something came up though. One point during the interview he even politely asked them to hold on and you could hear him yell in the background “Come in, yeah, hold on a minute†then came back to the interview and stayed a few more minutes after to talk.
- Variety reports today that Askew vet Ethan Suplee has joined the cast of COLD MOUNTAIN, which will be directed by Anthony Minghella (â€The English Patientâ€). The film will also star Nicole Kidman, Renee Zellweger, Jude Law, Natalie Portman, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Giovanni Ribisi, Brendan Gleeson, Donald Sutherland, Jena Malone, Ray Winstone, James Gammon, and Charlie Hunnam. Quite a cast!
- Alanis Morisette has been nominated for 2 MMVAs (Much Music Video Awards) this year : Favourite Canadian Artist (Hands Clean) and the MuchMoreMusic Award (Hands Clean (version 1). The awards will be taking place (and airing) on June 16th.
- This sounds like a fun place to work — A training video for “Global Video†employees in England reportedly starts with the famous scene from Clerks with Randal and the “Ruse†woman asking questions about the two videos. After the scene is played out some annoying guy comes on, and states that employees should NOT act like that. Too bad!
- Finally, a happy birthday to Jason Mewes, who turns 28 today!
