J&SBSB Hits Comedy Central In July!

May 19th @ 11:13 pm | No Comments » | Scooped by Gordon McFarland

  • Yes, it’s finally happened, another View Askew film has been sanitized to the point of making its way to BASIC CABLE! Actually, this
    is going to be really interesting, as we recall that on set, special alternate takes of the film were shot JUST for this purpose! That’s right, in July,
    Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back will hit basic cable, which means ALL that profanity’s gotta go. We’re sure some of it will be dubbed (though hopefully not so
    poorly as the fun, but painful TV Mallrats edit), however, the big news is that we will LIKELY see, for the first time, scenes or dialogue that has yet to
    see the light of day as none of this was on the DVD. So, this one’s a definite keeper.

So far, the schedule has “Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back” premiering on 7/5 at 7-9:30 PM EST as a part of their July 4th movie stunt. It
will also repeat that evening at 11:30pm, then again on 7/11 at 1am and at 8pm. “Dogma” will also be appearing on 7/4 at 7:30pm and at 4:30pm on 7/5
directly before J&SBSB. Tune in, even if it’s just to point us out to your friends in our quick, early film cameos, as our friends and families always
enjoy doing.

Kevin Drops More News!

May 19th @ 11:13 pm | No Comments » | Scooped by Brad & Chris

  • Kevin’s lovin’ that new View Askew web board and stopping by with some marathon Q&A sessions for fans to take part in. Today, he dropped in
    again to answer some more queries. Here’s the rundown of the stuff we thought you folks might find interesting:
  • Jay will be involved (we assume, in an acting capacity) with the new, mysterious “small project”.
  • Kevin expects the WEST COAST STASH to open early in July.
  • The live action, rarely seen Clerks TV show (which we toyed with you about back in our April Fools joke this year) might actually become
    part of the Clerks 10th anniversary jam-packed THREE-DVD set. Yes, THREE. You read that right. Wow.
  • The press (and we) misspoke the other day calling Green Hornet a “delay”. There’s no delay, as the rollout of the film was never official,
    nor was it ever going to the the official next project. The film is moving along nicely, and preproduction will continue as Kevin works through his new
    script.
  • Southland Tales: Kevin’s part won’t involve any signing, and he LOVES the script. He says it’s not really a musical, there’s songs in it,
    but he wouldn’t call the film a musical at all. Seems really excited about the project, though.
  • There has been talk of Kevin writing a Green Hornet comic-based miniseries to tie in with the film.
  • The Chasing Amy inaction figure line is still planned, but will come in AFTER the J&SBSB line (which comes after the Dogma line). Follow
    us?

  • Mike Oeming will be at Wizardworld Philly this weekend and is always happy to sign your Jay & Silent Bob comics, so be sure and bring ‘em
    with ya! And of course, stop by the Graphitti/View Askew booth where ALL our great Stash swag will be available for immediate purchase, including plenty
    of stuff signed by Kevin himself.
  • We’ve gotten away from posting eBay auctions as there were just too many, of them, but this one’s for charity, and we love to see
    charities get support. There’s a Ramones shirt signed by Affleck up for grabs
    right now, with all proceeds going towards fighting Lymphoma (of which the late great Joey Ramone passed away from). The shirt’s only $40.00 right now, a
    real bargain, and it’s for a great cause. Get some bids up there.
  • A few Askew shout-outs from the rap community this week: Jean Grae, one of the best MCs (female or otherwise) rocking the mic these days ended a tour
    journal entry with Snoochie Boochies recently. MF DOOM (yes, both of them are Marvel fans)
    references the Bob in the song Saliva off the Viktor Vaughn, Vaudeville Villain album with the line “a lot of crews like to act like a violent mob/they
    really need to just shut the fuck up, like Silent Bob.” Jean’s Bootleg of the Bootleg EP is available for only six dollars or so, and DOOM’s Madvillain
    album just dropped last week.
