• Here ya go, folks, the long-awaited skinny on Kevin’s Chicago appearance at WizardWorld next month. Mewes is also scheduled to be there, but don’t assume he’ll share the same signing times as Kevin (it’s possible, just not definite). The great news here is that Kevin is there both Saturday and Sunday, traditionally the con’s 2 busiest days, with TWO signing sessions as well as his famous Q&A. As always, show up EARLY on your day(s) as you’ll likely need to wait in line to nab tickets for both the signings AND the Q&A, and they WILL RUN OUT FAST! Don’t say we didn’t warn ya. Here’s all the details:

• View Askew’s man on the west coast scene, Chris Ryall, was kind enough to ship us off the photos he took of the View Askew booth as it appeared before the con opened in San Diego last weekend. As you can see, the new posters are in and being shown off in all their full-color glory, along with the ever-growing collection of inaction figures, t-shirts, and other fun toys. We’ll see you again real soon in Chi-town!

• Kevin has revealed that he’ll be recording the commentary track
  for the new DVD release of the director’s cut of the excellent “Donnie Darko” later tonight. If you’ve got something you’d like Kevin to
  question to ask or possibly cover during the track, you can post it for Kev HERE,
  but do it soon! Time’s ticking…
• In a related story, Kevin’s involvement with DD’s DVD likely stems from his project with directory Richard Kelly, “Southland
  Tales”. In this snippet from Antony’s new column at the ‘Shoot, Kelly makes his first comment on this project:

He’s made it known at many a Q&A that he’s not gonna dance on stage, so we can’t help but wonder how Kelly’s gonna talk him into it! Should
be a very interesting project to keep an eye on…

• This funny little image was printed in the Comic-Con Programming showcasing several cartoons celebrating Hellboy’s 10th Anniversary. One
  ‘toon in particular looked kinda familiar…
• The excellent interview with Kevin Smith and Guin Turner from “The Advocate” has finally been made available online via their official site. You hardcore fans know that Guin and Kev both took
  their flicks to Sundance in 1994, and that she also appeared in Amy and Dogma (as well as proved a bit of an inspiration for Chasing Amy,
  many a fan’s favorite View Askew flick). It’s an excellent piece, highly recommended you check it out, even though it’s now a few month’s
  dated. Plus, it’s written by long-time NA scooper Alonso Duralde, all the better reason to give it a read.
• Affleck’s joined an interesting-sounding new film project called “Nowhere Man”.
  The ensemble adventure is described as “Ocean’s Eleven” meets “Men in Black.”

  Thanks for stopping by today, and we’ll see ya next time.
