Vulgarthon: The Trailer!

November 30th @ 12:35 pm | No Comments » | Scooped by Mattt Potter

  • Here’s something we’ve been waiting for the opportunity to show you — Many of you know that a documentary is currently being worked on for the Clerks 10th Anniversary DVD, but you’ll also be happy to know that other footage from past View Askew events is also being looked at and cut into programs that you can enjoy on future View Askew releases (or perhaps, on releases of their own). This one will take all of that footage shot at Vulgarthon ‘98 (the fans, the Q&A’s, and all the madness before and after) and collect it into one big Vulgarthon documentary. Even better, YOU can be involved! if you’ve got some video footage of any of the Vulgarthon events of past years, contact Mattt Potter with your details. Yes, you CAN make your mark on View Askew history and be involved in this documentary! Here’s Kevin with the official announcement:
FINALLY! VULGARTHON INFO!
Kind of.
Remember our very first Vulgarthon? Vulgarthon ‘98? Five Films, Forty Bucks? The one that started it all?
And remember there were cameras rolling that day, all day long?
If you don’t recall either of those things, then you weren’t there. And if you weren’t there, what better way to pretend like you were than by watching a documentary about that legendary day?
Mattt (yes – three T’s) Potter, a board-man from waaaaaay back (the Lord of Cowpies, for the truly old school) who did such a brilliant job cutting the “Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back” doc (which you’ll see on the “Clerks” 10th Anniversary DVD later this year) has taken all the Vulgarthon ‘98 footage we’ve had sitting around the office for years and he’s crafting another killer program for the hardcore Askew fans.
However, he needs your help.
He’s looking for any fan-shot footage from that Vulgarthon, and all the other V-thons we’ve held since to help flesh out the piece. If anyone’s got anything, contact him at…

Anyone whose stuff we use will be credited, of course.

Again, even if you’re on a slow connection, do not miss this sneak peek at the Vulgarthon 98 documentary, available HERE for a limited time!

  • Joe Quesada has again said a few words about Spidey/Black Cat and Kevin’s future involvement. This comes to us from a story that appeared at Comic Book Resources :
On Kevin Smith’s long-delayed “Spider-Man/Black Cat” issues: “I received an email from Kevin about three weeks ago, saying, ‘Dude, I’ve got the juices flowing again. You’re going to get the last two issues of Black Cat sooner than you expect!’ I was like, ‘Sooner than I expect? Are you going back in time?’”

So, hopefully we’ll have some news on more issues from Kevin soon.

  • See if you can spot the Clerks refence in the November 29th story on PCs vs. Macs at Something Awful.
  • So, did they get the box there? A guy from Austin, Texas and a bunch of local bands created a “thank you” box for Kevin and Jay. He wanted to deliver it to Kevin at the Q&A in Texas, and evidently, as seen in the video he put together, he made it. The piece runs about 4 minutes long, and features footage from Kevin’s Q&A, and some footage of a conversation he had as he presented the package to Kevin. We’ll see ya next time.
