• Clerks placed number 85 in NME’s 100 most rock n’ roll movies. It was categorised in relation to music genres as ‘punk’. The article article had this to say about it:

Other films considered to belong in the punk genre were Sid & Nancy, Rude Boy, Beyond The Valley Of The Dolls,The Wild Bunch and If, however whether the Wizard of Oz, which placed 50, is more rock n’ roll than Clerks is a moot point.

• Regarding that Zink magazine, we do hear it can be had at some Barnes and Noble locations, Walmarts, and other bookstores, though it’s not common. It’s a 2-page interview with 8 pages of new photos of Mewes.
• An IGN insider article (for subscribers only) gives Honorable Mention to the “Evening With Kevin Smith” DVD amongst their list of the top Comic Book discs out there.

• Seems we mention a quiz and people either find or make more…So here’s two others. This first one requires that you register to play, and is called a “Kevin Smith” quiz. Then, another Quizilla quiz , “Which Kevin Smith Character Are You”? No more now, we’re all quizzed out.
• Correction: Our scooper was wrong and we didn’t check the facts: Stan Lee’s Mutants, Monsters and Marvels is in fact available on region 2 DVD in the UK, from all the usual outlets.
• It appears that two Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back props are available on eBay: Some screen-worn jewelry and the Scream costume. The place looks legit enough, but keep in mind this is NOT View Askew run or supported, so buy AT YOUR OWN RISK. We just wanted to let you know it was there.
• And finally, we assume that most of you check out the View Askew “Pic of the Day” from time to time, but this one’s a classic, and we wanted to make sure you didn’t miss it. Catch ya later!
