• The next wave of View Askew inaction figures for Dogma will likely start to arrive sometime in the May/June timeframe. Watch for more
  details here soon. We’ve been waiting a long time for these puppies, so we’re sure that you are, too.
• A reader of the site wrote to tell us that he sings a song called “Jason Lee: with a silly French accent with his band, Mars Hotel. You
  can listen to it HERE.

• Here’s another work from Page, the girl some of you may remember who drew that awesome picture of all the characters in the Askewniverse a couple years
  back. Here’s her latest.
• Pronounced Boston Red Sox fan Ben Affleck hosted the BoSox Roast, similar to what they do for Friar’s Club members, he made jokes about
  David Ortiz’s jewelry and Kevin Millar’s “cowboy up” phrase used often last year. And plenty of the players gave him a bunch of lighthearted J-Lo jokes. He
  also attended Friday’s game against the Baltimore Orioles.
• First Look Media has changed the name of Joey Lauren Adams’ new film, “A Promise Kept”, to “The Gunman” and will be releasing it in the
  US in the rental and retail stores on June 15th. The official website is www.apromisekeptmovie.com. Joey plays a female detective given the undesirable
  job of hunting down a vigilante who is protecting children. The movie also stars Sean Patrick Flanery, Jeff Speakman and Mimi Rogers. It will be playing
  at the Fort Myers Film Fest on Saturday, May 1st, at 6pm.
• John Pierson, who as you know is involved with a project with Kevin & Scott this year (and has been a longtime View Askew supporter), has planned a special
  event with The Austin Film Society. The guru of indie success, John is the original champion of filmmakers like Spike Lee, Michael Moore, and Kevin Smith.
  He is the creator of Split Screen, which ran on IFC for four years, and author of SPIKE, MIKE, SLACKERS & DYKES and the newly released SPIKE MIKE
  RELOADED. A preview of the upcoming “Best of Split Screen” DVD, the screening lineup will feature eight segments from eight different shows including
  three that have special Texas meaning! You won’t want to miss highlights like “Chris Walken’s Cooking Show” or “The Man Inside Godzilla.” The final
  segment will reveal a peek at his secret life showing free movies in the Fijian bush. Afterwards, John will share his experiences and what he’s learned
  over decades of involvement with feature filmmaking and cable television. John also hopes to rally support to start up a locally produced film series for
  PBS.

The event takes place on Friday, April 30th at 8:30 PM at UT Austin, Engineering building (RLM), room 4.102. Q&A with John Pierson to follow screenings.
Free admission for Austin Film Society members with current membership cards or for new members joining before event. Seating will be limited and held
until 8:15. RSVP by email to Christian@austinfilm.org. Free admission for RTF students. Must provide current school ID at door.

• That puts the wraps on another one! Oh, one last thing: We found out that the popup image logic didn’t work on Macintosh machines. So,
  we’re back to the old-fashioned way for the time being with images, but hope to find a way to use the newer technology and satisfy all browsers. Stay
  tuned, but for now, you should all be able to click images and see them all blowed up-like. Enjoy. Catch ya at the next one.
