• We’ve had a busy past few days, but now it’s time to get caught up on all that’s happening in the world of View Askew! In case you missed
  the recent updates, scroll down, as Kevin dropped a TON of news of interest to west-coasters, including the fact that, while the new West Coast stash IS
  scheduled to open doors this month, no official BASH will be held. However, you can still get DVDs and stuff signed at the new store, which is great, since
  most folks spent the last Bash doing mostly that, anyway. So there ya go. And of course, there’s that little news of that show we like to call VULGARTHON
  hitting the West Coast for the FIRST TIME this Fall. Yep. It’s a good time to be a Californian. Damn you, east coast!

Not to say that there’s not still a bunch of stuff for us ALL to look forward to. We just received the first anywhere copies of Clerks X and Jersey Girl
to review. These puppies are gonna take a while to get through (goodbye, weekend!) but we promise you a BUNCH of coverage, screenshots, and tons of
exlusive info from these releases. Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy!

Don’t forget about all the toys and other swag. With Chicago happening this weekend, we still haven’t seen definite confirmation on the arrival of those
HUGE Jay and Bob inaction figs, though we figure (ha ha, pun intended) they’ll show up sooner or later SOMEWHERE. And with all those variations of the
Kevin figure slated for future cons, wow…Time to rent out a room to store all of this stuff somewhere.

Alright, so, let’s throw some newsbites at ya’ll and get all these little tidbits out in the open for ya! Whaddiya say? Cool? Let’s go!

• Yes, our mates over there in the southern part of the world are finally getting to glimpse JERSEY GIRL on the big screen, starting
  tomorrow (Thursday, August 12th). Purchase tickets for their largest chain, Hoyts, online HERE. We’ll let you know how the film fares.

There’s also a bit of press for the film’s release, including an interview with Affleck and some other reviews and tidbits
HERE as well as a review from (you’ll love this)
The Catholic Church of Australia!!! Of course, if you’re IN Australia, we know you’ll see
the flick in the coming days…Be sure to TALK BACK and let us know what ya think!

• Today’s installment of web comic “The Devil’s Panties” contains a very obvious “Jay & Silent Bob
  Strike Back” reference.
• On Sunday, September 5th, there will be a midnight screening of Mallrats at the Paramount theatre on 261 Bernard Ave., Kelowna, B.C.
  Canada. All seats are 5 bucks. Don’t miss this rare chance to catch a View Askew classic up on the big screen if you’re in the area!
• We’re receiving reports of JERSEY GIRL playing on some international flights (one from Air Jamaica, at least). So, if you can’t wait
  another month to see the flick again, fly somewhere. Maybe you’ll catch it (plane-friendly edited, of course!).

• Here’s a good article that appeared in the last issue of Cinescape Magazine featuring Dogma’s makeup effects artist Vincent Guastini. It sure sounds like Singer’s version of BATTLESTAR GALACTICA would have been a ton cooler than that other remake.
• CLERKS will be airing on IFC this Thursday (8/12) at 11:30 pm EST. Sure, we know ya already got the DVD – But watch it anyway one last time before Clerks X next month!
• More on Kevin’s involvement in Richard Kelly’s upcoming SOUTHLAND TALES can be found HERE on romanticmovies.com.
• Looks like VA’s own Raquel Castro is hard at work on her next film, “Little Fugitive”. She plays a supporting character named Destiny. Look for the film later this year. We hear she just wrapped shooting her role this week.
• The next Project Greenlight has begun and here’s an article about what you can expect on Bravo next February. There’s spoilers there for those of you not wanting to know the script chosen, but it’s safe to say that this year they’re going for a larger audience over an artful pic. Sounds like a cool change. We just wish Bravo would air the series uncensored like HBO did.
• Here’s a couple interesting excerpts from Matt Damon’s recent PLAYBOY interview:

• We’ll all be watching Kevin’s famous short again next month on DVD, but who wants to know what’s up with flying cars these days? Curious.
• And FINALLY today…….All we have for you is a link and a promise you should STAY TUNED TO FIND OUT MORE! Muhahahah…
