  • Being the home of the View Askew Drinking Games that we created and that started what was this site right around this time back in 1997, we’ve been given the honor of announcing a new item soon to be available at the Stash: View Askew shot glasses! That’s right, now you can play the drinking games with the official drinkware of News Askew. All 5 of Kevin’s films will eventually be available in shot glass form, but first up is “Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back”, which will be available for sale first at Wizard World in Philly THIS WEEKEND! Yep, before you can even buy ‘em at the Stash. So if you’re coming to Philly, make sure you stop at the View Askew booth, so you can be among the first to own one of these beauties. Watch for more promotions and tie-ins with the drinking games and the shot glasses soon.

  • They’ll only be available to ya at the Wizardworld show in Philly this weekend, so you know you better start making some east coast friends soon if you don’t have ‘em already — Here’s your first look at the exclusive Black and White Dante and Randal — They’re even colorless down to the packaging, very clever indeed. Don’t walk into the con without an extra $20 to buy ‘em. Just make sure you save us a couple of sets, don’t buy them all up on us!

  • Just to set a rumor straight, apparently the Hollywood Stock Exchange website is listing Jersey Girl as having a June 30, 2004 release date. Rest assured that no new release date has been officially set, and that as far as we know, the Fall release is still in the cards. However, the studio has been relatively quiet about when this film will indeed debut, so don’t be surprised to see some release date shuffling on the film. No idea where HSX got that from. We just doubt it’ll be bumped back THAT far, if at all.
  • Kevin will appear in an upcoming Comic Book Superheroes special on The History Channel on Monday, June 23 at 9 p.m. (ET/PT).
    Here’s details:
Comic Book Superheroes Unmasked will debut on The History Channel on Monday, June 23 at 9 p.m. (ET/PT).
The special is hosted by Shane West, star of The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen movie.
Comic Book Superheroes Unmasked was granted “unprecedented” access to comic books published by DC and Marvel Comics from the late 1930’s to the present. Featured are interviews with many of the most influential comic book writers and artists of the past 50 years, including Stan Lee, Will Eisner, Denny O’Neil, Michael Chabon, Jim Steranko, Kevin Smith, Frank Miller, Neil Gaiman and Joe Quesada.
According to The History Channel, the program was “designed to bring visual depth, energy and movement to classic comic book images while still preserving the integrity of the artwork.”
  • Jay & Bob appear in the latest edition of the Mall Monkeys web comic.
