• The proposed Mallrats 10th Annviersary DVD scores a mention at IGN today:

• IMDB reports:

• Despite recent public statements by Disney officials that contract-renewal negotiations with Miramax founders Harvey Weinstein and Bob Weinstein are
  continuing, the company said in its annual SEC filing Monday that it “does not expect business at [Miramax] to continue at the same level” beyond Sept.
  30 next year when Disney can end its relationship with the Weinsteins. In the same statement, Disney said that it was “unable to determine whether projects
  currently in progress may be abandoned or otherwise impaired and whether there will be any material charges” if it parts company with the Weinsteins.

Of course, if this affects any of the projects we’ve been hearing rumblings about, Clerks 2, Green Hornet, and the like, we’ll of course let you know. We’ll
be watching this story closely.

• Finally today, congrats to “Jersey Girl”’s Liv Tyler. She gave birth to an 8-pound boy (”Milo”) at 4:11 a.m. yesterday. It the first for Tyler, 27, and
  husband Royston Langdon. Our favorite headline on this one? Citing father Steven Tyler, “Dude looks like a grandpa”. Ah, the press.

• Diamond Comics is reporting that, sadly, Kevin will no longer be lending his writing talents to the “What if Karen Page Had Lived?”
  alternate Daredevil-verse story. Joe Quesada’s artwork also has been taken over by another:

• We’ve got a few more photos here from last week’s Blade 3 premiere of Kevin and Jay, courtesy of the fine folks at the IESB website.

• IFC has been running Wes Craven films lately as well…And in a way, with his J&SBSB cameo and the Scream 3, he’s a member of our
  extended family here. So, this is a neat one: In a most unusual Christmas night, IFC is showing Wes Craven’s genre bending ORIGINAL “Nightmare on Elm
  St.” followed by his return to the fold a decade later (1994, ironically the year Kevin broke out) in “Wes Craven’s New Nightmare”. Both enjoyable flicks.
  The fun begins at 8 PM EST Christmas NIGHT beginning with the ORIGINAL A Nightmare on Elm St. followed by New Nightmare. Then, an encore of the original.
  IFC has been quite good at showing these films in the original widescreen, 1.85, aspect ratio. So, for you horror fans, it might be a fun Christmas double
  feature if you’ve yet to pick up New Line’s fantastic dvd set. Also: on December 29th (Wednesday), Clerks will be airing at 11 PM EST with an encore at
  4:30 AM (early Thurs. morning). Fun times at the end of December on IFC!
• And finally today, high-bandwidth website Heavy.com has a fun little feature that takes the Clerks audio and dubs it over some alternate
  video. Go to their site, http://heavy.com/heavy.php , select Dubbed and Dumber, then click the “Clerks” icon (with Batman & Robin in the photo). It sure
  did give us a chuckle, being fans of those classic cartoons. See ya next time!

• Those scoop-loving folks over at the IESB have again been stalking the movie premiere lines these days, and yet again uncovered some potentially HUGE
  information regarding Kevin’s involvement in that much-rumored Star Wars TV project . As we know, George Lucas
  has been quoted stating that he sees the Star Wars universe heading into television after Episode III has come and gone, and Kevin has been mysteriously
  quiet when questioned about his involvement with such a project. Now,

So, remember now — Anyone can make up a story and get the rumor to run rampant. However, something smells a bit true to us when we check out this one.
Keep in mind, we don’t know more than anyone else, but the secrecy seems possible and would certainly explain why Kevin hasn’t outwardly confirmed OR denied
his possible role in such a project. It’s no secret the he and Hamill have been pals since filming J&SBSB, either. So it certainly is a well-written
scoop, with the scent of plausibility. Regardless of that, if Kevin takes this one on, we’re extremely interested to see what he’ll do with the piece.

• Kevin had the honor of being named one of the Top 10 film icons on this weekend’s IFC “10 Icons, 10 Year Anniversary” special. The show
  re-airs throughout december. Check your listings. IFC is also re-running “A Better Place” at 2:30 AM EST (1:30 AM) CST Monday morning. IFC claims to show
  it in WIDESCREEN, although the previous showing aired it in full screen aspect ratio (which Vin seems to prefer).
• Lots of raves (and yes, even a little more Kevin) can be found for the newly-released Daredevil Director’s Cut DVD. Here’s another that
  just came into us:

Sounds great! Hopefully this one ends up in the Christmas stocking.

• And finally today, here’s a couple shots from a fan who claims their friend is one of the biggest View Askew fans on the planet. And
  we’re not having trouble believing that after seeing these photos:

I think I might possibly know one of the craziest View Askew fans… Two of my best friends recently had a baby (November 26). His name is Brodie Holden…
no joke.

Here are some of pics of little Brodie Holden in his homemade View Askew gear. Daddy was all decked out in his View Askew best in the delivery room, too.
We think Kevin should consider some baby clothes, I think a big chunk of his fan base is at that place in their lives.

See ya next time!

• Here’s a pic of Kevin and Jay from the BLADE 3 premiere that was held in Los Angeles the other night. And also in attendance was Alanis Morissette to support her boyfriend Ryan Reynolds, co-star of Blade 3.

• Sorry for the late notice (just saw this ourselves) but Clerks is on NOW on the
  Independent Film Channel (IFC) with a follow up of the
  View Askew produced classic “A Better Place”. Clerks will then repeat at 11:30 EST, and a Better Place at 2:00 AM. It’s an all Askew night on IFC! And
  there’s always something fun about watching uncut Askew on broadcast TV.
• We’ve found what’s as close as you can get to View Askew looking packages – Target is currently carrign Spider-Man wrapping paper which
  features scenes mostly (possibly all) from the “Evil That Men Do” storyline from Kevin’s Spidey/Black-Cat story. Check your local stores!
• The Stash gets a quick name drop in this Asbury Park Press article today on the many attractions to
  be found in beautiful downtown Red Bank.
• Matt Damon’s been hitting the press hard the last week for Ocean’s 12…but Dark Horizons has some info on the third film in the Jason
  Bourne series:

Had no idea this series was continuing, so that’s good news.

• Alanis Morissette is heading to TV, after signing a deal to star in a mockumentary-style show peeking behind the scenes of her fictional
  tour. “We’re with the Band” will be fully improvised by the cast and follow Morissette and her crew as they travel on the road. A number of the improv actors
  playing her crew on the show, which is expected to be shot before Morissette goes on tour in the middle of 2005, have actually toured with the star in real
  life. A range of stars from the music world will be featured in the comedy, as opening acts or bands on the billing at charity concerts. Comedy Central
  will produce and air the show.

• The insanity continues. And this one’s the best deal yet! Yes, we are SOLD OUT of the signed $5 Jay figures (We TOLD you to act fast!) – However, never fear, as Santa Kevin has come up with another incredibly amazing and affordable gift idea for you this year. How’s about a signed Bluntman & Chronic figure set, by BOTH Kevin AND Jason, for $10? Yep, you’re reading that right. There’s no way you should pass this deal up, as we are sure these things will also sell out, possibly even overnight. Order this set at this ridiculously low price today through the Stash.

Need more ideas? How about a signed Jersey Girl poster for 10 bucks? Autographed soundtrack CDs for $15? Tshirts and bookends at lower prices that ever before? Don’t miss out on the Stash’s Christmas Sale, going on right now. There’s no telling how long these prices will be this low, so if you’re eyeballing something, order it before we come to our senses or just plain run out of the stuff!

• Who says that your posts at the View Askew WWWBoard don’t mean anything? Not us, not EVER! Check out this prime example of a question
  that turned into what could be a HUGE event announcement for those of you in a part of the country who might not normally get their chance to catch a
  glimpse of Kevin & crew in the flesh:

What do we think? We think it’s the coolest idea for a View Askew reunion ever. And it’s got mad potential. So what do YOU think? Live nearby? Would
you fly in from anywhere on the planet to attend such a nifty, once in a lifetime show? Let your voice be heard over at the WWWBoard!

• Kevin gives us a double shot of info today, with a little more info on the UK screening (a final date) along with some info that we did post before (which
  looks to be saying the same). So, for some, a refresher, for those of you who missed the last announcement, it’s all new:

Won’t that Roadside Attractions be the COOLEST? More info as we hear it.

• Well folks, with just 19 short days ’til Christmas, we’ve done it again with another can’t miss deal from your friends at View Askew and
  Jay & Silent Bob’s Secret Stash – The $5 Jay! Yes indeedy, that’s FIVE STINKIN’ BUCKS for an honest-to-goodness SIGNED Jay inaction figure, direct shipped

  while you can. Mewes only signed until his hand got tired, and we honestly can’t tell you if that meant 10, 100, or more! Order your signed Jay inaction
  figures for just FIVE DOLLARS now!
