• Folks, if you’ve been saving your dollars, waiting for the big stuff, this is THE week to spend them at Auctions Askew! That’s right, this has to be the coolest crop of items ever up in one swoop. This week, you’ve got your chance to wear Ben Affleck’s shoes, that’s right, Bartleby’s screen-used shoes from Dogma! Not only that, but a beautiful, ready for framing rare print of the final page of Holden’s Chasing Amy comic – Way way cool. That missing side of the Mooby boardroom handle has been FOUND! Even if you don’t own the other half, you may want this, if only to even hold it over the head of the guy who bought the first half a couple months back. Hehehe. Stick 2 of 3 from the Stygian Triplets from Dogma is there. And last, but not least, a signed Mallrats poster from the big 3: Smith, Mewes, and Lee! If the bank account wasn’t approaching zero, there’d be some bids coming from right here on that stuff. At any rate, some lucky folks are gonna own them, so bid carefully, good luck!

• We’re sorry to report that Kevin has had to bow out of the Ohio Comic Convention appearance, due to production scheduling goings-on for Jersey Girl. Sorry to report the bad news, but the flicks are the bread and butter and gotta take precedence. Hopefully we’ll have another date for Kevin out in that area to announce in the future.

• TECH TV has been kind enough to post all of Kevin’s interview, even MORE than what aired in tonight’s show, at their website. You can check all that out HERE. The reviewer didn’t seem to be paying too much attention to Kevin’s answers, just moving through the script, still, Kevin always manages to entertain. Not much news here, except for the fact that the World Trade Center will be digitally simulated in the film as it does take place in the 90’s and New York City will be featured.

• For those of you who were fans of his Chasing Amy score (or just fans in general), Dave Pirner has a new solo album, titled Faces & Names, arriving on July 30th. You can also visit his official web site.
• As you might have read, IMDB also reported that Matt Damon may have his choice of roles for the Superman/Batman movie. Apparently some insiders liked Damon in “Bourne Identity” so much that they want him on this project as well. Peterson however said he’s just using him as an example. Read more at Zentertainment.
• Finally today, this is an amusing one — In the newly-released PC game “Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos”, if you have a Death Knight from the Undead race, click on it several times. Eventually it will say “I hate people, but I love gatherings.” Obviously a Clerks/Randal homage from the programmers!

• Sorry for the late notice on this, it’s been a long day at the office and none of these scoops arrived until just today. Guess TechTV doesn’t normally advertise their guests until the day OF the show or something. Tonight, on The Screensavers, Kevin is advertised as a guest. Anyway, the first show will be airing at 7 PM tonight (by the time you’re reading this) and is LIVE! As of right now, they advertise him as being on LATER, so we’re guessing not until 45 minutes to an hour into the show. But if you’ve got TechTV, you can catch the reruns of this episode at 10pm EST/8 PM PST and twice again early tomorrow morning. The show DOES run (according to the DirecTV program guide here) a full hour and a half, so it should be a pretty nice piece. They state:

Maybe he’ll even get a mention of the web sites in there! Again, sorry for the late notice on this one. Hopefully those of you who read regularly will see this update today. Don’t forget! Kevin’s ALSO on Jay Leno tomorrow night, for what we hear is another hilarious edition of ROADSIDE ATTRACTIONS. We’ll remind ya tomorrow, too, for you absent minded-types out there. More news later! We’re rushing this story online first.
