  • You want cool? Have we got COOL! There’s always some neat stuff happening with View Askew swag, but this one’s one of our favorites.
    Check out these brand new posters that allow you to relive those special moments from your favorite View Askew film. Each full-color poster measures 18” x
    36” and comes rolled-up and cello-wrapped for protection. You can bet these puppies are getting framed and going up on the walls somewhere around here.
    And at only $6.95 each, what a deal!!! Diamond’s got these announced in their latest previews by the way, which just means they’re coming soon, we’ll
    let you know when you can get them directly from us. Diamond has the info HERE.
    No arrival date has been specified. They can’t come soon enough.


Diamond is also announcing that the Balck & White inaction figures are now going to be widely available, at other stores aside from the Stash. So, if you
never made it to a con or got yours from us, the standard $9.37 price will apply, but now your local merchant should be picking them up. No word on if
this is a fresh batch of the 4 or just some final cases of the initial run. They’re arriving for mass distribution in Fall 2004. Details HERE.

  • Yessir, it’s been a long time since those prototypes were visible under class at the Comicon. Now, you can touch and cherish your very own set of DOGMA INACTION FIGURES! The most highly-loved set yet, featuring Silent Bob with club, Jay with Uzi, Drunk Loki, Winged Bartleby, and, of course, the biggest baddest sucka yet, the Golgothan. And yes, Ming reports the Golothan DOES make a sound when you squeeze him! The first ACTION of the inaction line! History in the making! Own your set NOW before these are bye-bye. We mean that.

Dogma inactions are now available for IMMEDIATE PURCHASE at the Stash at 35 Broad Street in Red Bank, NJ. Preorders start shipping out first thing next week. Get those orders in while they last. The packaging has also announced the 4th line, Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back, for LATE 2004. Yep. Just in time for Christmas, kids.

  • Kevin gets a nice name drop in this CNN article regarding directors who often partner
    up with the same actors. Spielberg and Hanks are featured.
  • Looks like UPN will be showing that modern Ben Affleck classic, “Phantoms”, tomorrow night. Check your local listings. You all know how much Jay loves Affleck’s performance in that one.

  • TNA Wrestler “Raven” came out on last night’s TNA program sporting a Dogma T-shirt. More pics
    HERE!
  • This sounds familar, but the site says it was “just published”, so what the heck. In this article
    from Wizard, Liv Tyler proclaims Ben Affleck her favorite leading man to work with.
  • Here’s another UK report: This one on the press Affleck’s doing via satellite to promote “Jersey Girl”
“I was watching GMTV whilst getting ready this morning and they had Ben Affleck on. He was being interviewed by one of the women over a satellite link, mainly
about Jersey Girl but she insisted on going into other stuff. Ben was pretty good about it, although you could tell he didn’t really want to talk
about it. He was in some studio with a fake backdrop of a Hollywood street behind him and the woman mentions it and says something like
‘Oh, you’re used to hanging around on street corners, according to the press – gambling, drinking, smoking?’ Ben says ‘Yeah, PROSTITUTION!’ Funniest thing I’ve seen on morning TV for ages!”
  • Just a correction: Jay & Silent Bob Strikes Back will premiere on Comedy Central in July, as we previously reported. So watch for it
    then. Interestingly enough, though, sometimes at the REALLY late night showings, Comedy Central may show a film uncut (rumor has it they did it with the
    brilliant South Park movie once). But we’re hoping to see some alternate stuff in Jay & Bob, at least during the daytime airings.

  • And finally today, check out this clip from the reality program “America’s Next Top Model”. It’s a 10 meg MOV download, so you’ll need
    QuickTime to watch it, but we think we have another favorite this season! Goooo Adrian! Boooo Elyse! See ya next time, folks. Thanks for stoppin’ on by.
