• Well, here’s some very cool, unexpected news! It seems that the town of Paulsboro has been pleased with how things are going with filming and the excitement it’s brought the town…So pleased, in fact, that they’re naming a street in the town after Kevin himself! The “official ceremony” may take place as soon as Monday or Tuesday NEXT WEEK! We’ll keep you up to date on this, in case you’d like to attend. In the meantime, here’s a story from Paulsboro on the event:

• We’re very sad to read that “Push, Nevada” has apparently been cancelled, yet another casualty of ABC. The show was actually quite compelling, though we’d guess that audiences yet again got confused by the quirky Twin Peaks-esque characters and situations. Shame, too, as each episode was doing a fine job and filling viewers in on what they missed in previous episodes just fine. Oh well. Anyway, the seventh and final episode will air on October 24th. After that, enough clues will have been given to allow viewers to solve the mystery and win the $1 million-plus jackpot. Bring it on!

Anyway, to Ben & Sean and everyone else that worked on that show — We liked it. Maybe someday the public will be ready for a unique show like Push, instead of another police show. Not that police shows are bad, but with 3 Law and Orders, 2 CSIs, and more, a little variety never hurts.

• The POWDER music video featuring Jason Mewes and produced by CHASING KEVIN’s Scott Kramer and producer Khene Tan is now online. It’s a catchy tune and Mewes is clearly featured in the vid as a thief. And if that’s not enough for ya, guys, yes, there’s also a scantily clad female lead singer. Sold? We’ve got 2 streaming locations for ya, first, the one we’d recommend is a QuickTime streaming at: http://www.hayeshandpiece.com/mv/powder001.html.

There’s also a Windows Media version of the video located HERE.

The video was directed by Stuart Acher who was featured in the recent Jeffrey Well’s column on movie poop shoot. Enjoy, but expect slow download times once everyone starts trying to watch the video at the same time.

• An excellent new interview with View Askew’s beloved Amy Noble has been conducted. You can read it in its entirety at the Slacker’s Guild website.
• The book “An Askew View: The Films of Kevin Smith” is starting to show up at shelves in bookstores and online. One scooper calls it, “An excellent read. It’s a very interesting book about the films and stories from Walt, Bryan, Brian, Jeff and others about their experiences working on the films.”

• Preorders are now being taken for an Australian DVD 2-pack of Chasing Amy & Clerks. The discs are the complete US Region 1 versions, with all the great extras. Surf HERE to see the cool new box art. Even cooler: Included with every purchase of the Clerks and Chasing Amy Box Set is a bonus poster of that very art at no extra charge!

• On Friday night, we drove into Paulsboro, New Jersey, where Ben Affleck and Liv Tyler were filming a couple scenes from “Jersey Girl”. While we were only on set for half of the night shoot, we do have a fairly decent report to log. The report is completely spoiler free, but don’t expect a lot of excitement, as it was only a couple of scenes that we sat in for. Still, if you’re interested in hearing how things look and happen on location, this report’s for you! Click HERE or visit our Exit 37 Jersey Girl Site for the full report.

• Now this is a really cool, inspired idea. The official View Askew site has posted a complete costume guide on dressing up as your favorite characters from the films. Find direct links to the Stash for movie replicas, as well as photos and tips on finding clothes at your local stores to match the likes of Jay, Silent Bob, Brodie, Alyssa, Walt, Missy, Sissy, Chrissy, Justice, Dante, Randal, and more! With this guide, it should be easier than ever to put together a cool costume for those upcoming Halloween shindigs. Or better yet, get a big group together and go as an entire film cast. Kudos to Ming and anyone else who had a hand in this, it’s a way cool idea.

• Auctions Askew is back, with a milestone week 25 of 5 new View Askew items up for grabs. This week sees an item that we believe may very well be the most popular item to hit the block yet — That’s right, folks — THE screen worn black trenchcoat that Ben Affleck used in DOGMA! It’s a Hugo Boss coat, tailored for Affleck himself, authentic and a major collector’s item. But hey, for those of you that aren’t quite as deep in the pockets, there’s still other goodies, including a cast and crew signed Vulgar poster, a French Dogma jacket, and more. Good luck, folks, and may all your bids be high.

UPDATE: The coat, sadly, has been removed from the auction block. Guess the folks at View Askew decided it was too valuable of an item to let go. We can’t blame ‘em.
