- Last week, New Jersey Governor James McGreevey taped 2 segments for the MTV BeachHouse with VJ Hilarie Burton. In one of the segments called “Wannabee”, the Governor played a boardwalk game to compete for one of the videos. He chose J-Lo’s video because she is going to be “Jersey Girl” in Kevin Smith’s next flick (he mentioned it that way on the show, good stuff!). This story was covered in articles in the Thursday, July 11th editions of the Asbury Park Press, the Trentonian and had a pic in the Star Ledger. The segments will run on MTV on July 24th.
- According to the Lion’s Gate website , the Vulgar DVD release has now been pushed back slightly to 9/17/02.
- Rejoice, Region 2′ers – You’re finally getting a Chasing Amy DVD with all the extras intact! Details HERE.
- Both of those CBR clips that ran in the last update originated from the rumour/gossip column “Lying In The Gutters”, formerly known as “All The Rage”, written by Rich Johnston. Just so you’re aware they’re very much rumors at this point, nothing more.
- A favorite of Dante and Randal (as in Clerks: The Cartoon), “The Secret Diary of Desmond Pfeiffer” was named #11 out of TV Guides 50 Worst shows ever. Check out the list HERE.
- That flick that we get so many e-mails about, “Chasing Holden”, is out on video this week. Rest assured, there are absolutely no similarities or references to Chasing Amy with the film at all, it’s just a coincidentally similar title.
- Moviepoopshoot.com got a plug in the Online section of the national UK paper The Guardian (long supporters of View Askew). Just one line at the end of this paragraph:
Trailer park
Any list of bookmarks is incomplete without the wonderful Internet Movie Database (IMDb), now owned by Amazon. Sky Movies is unlikely to match that, but says its aim is to become “the best movie website in the UK”. (I suppose we now think IMDb is American, though it first hit the web from Cardiff University). Sky Movies’ main attraction seems to be the huge collection of trailers, including three for Minority Report. Then again, I think I’d rather read Movie Poop Shoot.
- From now through July 20th, anyone who signs up at the Bikkit.com message board becomes eligible in a drawing for one of three Vulgar movie posters. Visit their forums (which feature a View Askew area).
- Here’s the weird item for the day: Apparently, a pair of women have created a play (starring themselves as Matt Damon and Ben Affleck) in which Matt and Ben find the script to Good Will Hunting after it falls from the sky and launches them to stardom. Matt and Ben’s lawyers have apparently contacted them about stopping this. The play’s website (mattandben.com) has the history of the play, plus all the info on the legal situation, albeit a little biased against Matt and Ben (bitter, bitter)…
- And finally, Something Awful is at it again: This time they feature homemade bumper stickers, and two of them include lyrics from ‘Berserker’. View ‘em for yourself.
