  • And the Affleck press machine continues! Canoe reports on Ben’s latest quotes on the Lopez marriage, Gigli, and includes this remark on Jersey Girl:
Affleck said Kevin Smith’s Jersey Girl, another flick with Lopez, will change their fortunes as an on-screen couple. “Jersey Girl I know is wonderful. Jersey Girl will demonstrate that it really wasn’t me and Jen (that doomed Gigli).”
Kevin Smith tells USA Today that Ben Affleck could be out of his planned remake of the Chevy Chase comedy “Fletch.” Frontrunners now include Will Smith, Adam Sandler, and Jimmy Fallon.

By the way, one scooper came up with a cool Fletch casting idea: What about Vince Vaughn?

  • The Comic Book Legal Defense Fund is auctioning a copy of Panel One, a collection of scripts by comic book writers, and its signed by every author, including Kevin. It’s a great book and the purchase will benefit an excellent cause. Bid HERE.
  • Finally today, if you’re in the UK, MovieTyme is having an incredibly great sale on the Clerks cartoon DVD (US version). The perfect chance to grab yourself a backup for the one you know you’re going to eventually wear out or scratch up due to overuse!
  • Kevin’s review of “Filmmaking for Dummies” states that he wishes the author had used less big dumb movies like “Spiderman” as examples, and instead used “…oh, let’s say, Clerks”. Well, here’s the answer. The book “$30 Film School” actually does use Clerks for illustrative examples. You can learn more HERE.
  • antiMUSIC.com’s recent “Day In Rock” article uses a number of quotes from View Askew Movies under the subarticles: ‘P.O.D. Banned By Chrisians’, ‘Dream Theater World ‘04′, and ‘New Alternative’. Buh-bye now.
