  • This week’s retro takes us back to 1997, when Chasing Amy was fresh in our minds and Kevin was again the talk of the critics with his return to smaller, lower budget projects. Sight & Sound’s November 1997 issue not only features their take on Chasing Amy (an uneven one at that), but a rarely-seen article from Kevin touting his love of “A Man For All Seasons”. Jump in the wayback machine and enjoy…

  • We mentioned last week that Clerks will be at the Brew & View in Chicago, but didn’t also realize THAT more Askew flicks would be showing there as well — From September 19th through the 25th, Dogma runs at 8, followed by Chasing Amy at 10. Bring those copies of the drinking games and have yourself a blast!
  • Film Threat again featured a classic Askew quote at their site last week: “I didn’t come in you, Pete, I swear.” – Jay from “Dogma” (1999).
  • Jersey Girl gets a small mention (along with the obligatory Gigli burn) in today’s Parade magazine which appears in most Sunday newspapers across the country.
  • In other newspaper-type stuff, last week’s USA weekend (from USA Today) ran a cartoon that alluded to the fact that Jersey Girl is coming next year (though didn’t exactly name the film). Again, Gigli is targeted.
  • A promotional video over at Gemini Films has a small reference to Kevin’s efforts to get “Clerks” made when citing past independent film directors and projects.
  • Seems that the New Jersey governor is backing a program that will allow financial grants to filmmakers who come to the state with their projects. Jersey Girl is cited as a recent example of a film that brought attention to the area.
