- Howdy, folks, haven’t done one of these in a while so it seemed like a good time check in and say hi. How are you? That’s nice.
With the busy summer season upon us, there’s a lot of activities to do outside of the site, but don’t think that doesn’t mean that we’re not on top of things. We’ve been basically grouping news up to allow for a decent update when the site gets one — Otherwise we might have had a day or two with just one or two newsbites…So if you see a day skipped, that’s normally why. We still have some plans for the site itself as far as new features and improvements go, things have just been proceeding slower than we’d like, but rest assured, they WILL come. Until then, we still have a nice summer planned — With nothing definite in the pipeline for View Askew’s next feature, we’ll be covering any movement on that (Will it be Fletch…The animated film…Something else?), as well as the new comics Kevin’s getting finished up as a result of Jersey Girl’s editing coming to a close.
And what about that Jersey Girl, huh? Well, rumor has it that the test screening we attended did very well, and that the film is very close to its final form. You’ll read below that Gigli is on a summer release schedule now, which means that JG will likely keep its home in its new February 2004 spot. Sure, it seems like a long wait. We know it is. We’ll try and keep you occupied as much as possible until then.
That’s about it, really. I’m (Brad) turning 30 next week so this is my last weekend to go and enjoy life as a twentysomething. Frankly, something tells me it won’t feel much different. Gotta give a quick shout out to my friends at the Appalachian Brewing Company for hooking me up with a keg of their excellent wheat beer for the kegerator here at home — It’s mighty tasty, and much appreciated. If you’re in the Harrisburg area, look these guys up. They make a damn fine ale. Ask your local distributor for ABC. Anyway folks, enjoy the weekend, be safe, have a blast, and we’ll catch ya next update. Here we go with this one:

- Hey, you wanna own a BRA signed by Kevin and Jennifer Smith? The Bras Across RFK Celebrity Brauction (being held by the Washington Freedom) is currently running. All proceeds from the auction benefit the Lombardi Cancer Center at Georgetown University. You can also bid on an autographed bra from Alanis Morissette. Rumor has it that Eliza Dushku might also be contributing one. No, we don’t think it’ll be a USED bra. You sickos.
- A happy belated birthday to View Askew favorite Jason Mewes, who celebrated yesterday. Hope that it was a good one, and
that you’re doing well.
- In other Mewes news, his film RSVP was recently purchased for distribution by Lions Gate. It’s now set for an August 26, 2003 DVD release. We spent some time with writer/director Mark Galluzzo in Venice Beach, California during our visit, and he assures us an excellent DVD full of great special features. Mewes fans, be sure to look this one up. We’ll add it to the countdowns for ya so you won’t forget.
- Seems that someone thought Mighty Ducks goaltender Jean-Sebastien Giguere beared a striking resemblance to a View Askew celeb. Check out the photo HERE. Sure, we can see that.
- Catch actress Ever Carradine, who played Jay’s mom so excellently in the intro to “Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back”, currently on the FX series “Lucky”.
- A small report and more photos from WizardWorld can be found at the respective links in this very sentence.
- It seems that Affleck and Jennifer’s “Gigli” has not been changed to “Tough Love” after all, as evidenced by Sony’s official page for the film. Gigli is slated for a July 30 bow and is rated R for “sexual content, pervasive language, and brief strong violence”.
- And finally today, it looks like Washington state has a pretty big View Askew fan — Check out the license plate, then check out the type of car — That’s right, a Mercury TRACER. That’s priceless. Have a great one!
