  • The new edition of Previews announces this new item that’s sure to be hanging on many a fan’s wall next year – The View Askew 2004 Almanac! This 12-month calendar (in clever “widescreen edition”) should be available for purchase soon at your local comic shop, and we’re assuming the Stash will have plenty as well. Here’s their official release:
Time flies when you’re having fun, but it’ll travel at the speed of light when you’re marking it with the View Askew Almanac! Packed with pics from the flicks, fun facts, and important dates in View Askew history, this fancily named calendar has it all – including all twelve months! Thrill to trivia and images from Clerks, Mallrats, Chasing Amy, Dogma, and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, day by day, week by week, month by month! Measuring 14 3/4” x 10”, each calendar is guaranteed to fill your daily life with new joy and meaning (light speed travel and new joy and meaning not guaranteed).
Calendar………$17.95 each

  • You’ll find a very cool NEW trailer for RSVP in many formats and sizes at the Lions Gate site. Mark tells us that the preview disc he’s seen features a lot of great extras and nice menus. We’ll keep you posted. And don’t miss the trailer. It’s way slick.
  • Let the Bennifer press machine begin! Looks like July 17th will mark the first major press that the duo are doing for Gigli — Let’s only hope Jersey Girl can get some major tube time like this as well:
Forget J.Lo. At NBC, the buzzword is JenBen.
A rare joint interview with hyper-hyped lovebirds Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck will air as an hour special at 10 p.m. July 17, NBC confirms.
Access Hollywood anchor Pat O’Brien will conduct what’s sure to be a deep and probing sit-down. Also, NBC’s Today is working out details for several JenBen segments.
By sheer coincidence, Gigli, the couple’s mysteriously delayed romantic comedy, will be released Aug. 1. The actors met and fell in love on the set two years ago.

Thanks to the Philadelphia Inquirer for the story.

  • This web comic strip called “Sheep ‘n Bones” references Jay & Bob in the first frame.
  • Finally today, we’ve received confirmation that the German airings of Mallrats and Dogma are indeed the German dubbed versions of the films. One German fan wrote in with these amusing throughts:
I’m not yet sure if the German language will work for Mallrats, since some of the jokes seem to be in-translatable (???): While “Say, would you like a chocolate covered pretzel?” might somehow work, I’m pretty interrested in hearing Jay say “Fly, fat-ass, fly” (”Flieg, Fettarsch, flieg”?), “Cum laude, ‘69. – I hope to come loud one day, preferably in a 69.” (”Cum laude, 69 – Ich hoffe, ich komme auch mal laut, am liebsten in einer 69er Stellung”?)

Meanwhile, German TV magazine “TV Spielfilm” has some stories (in German, if you can read it) on Mallrats and Dogma (which we can at least see they give a “thumbs up”). Catch ya next time.
