  • Affleck rumors abound: First off, E! News is reporting that Ben might be doing a guest stint with new squeeze Jen Garner on Alias
    sometime this season. Also, talks of a Daredevil 2 are now starting to flutter around, with a nice opening weekend for Elektra. The second film would
    reteam Affleck and Garner onscreen. Maybe Kev can write it? Here’s what the Hollwood Stock Exchange reported:
Fox is developing a sequel to the film Daredevil, starring Ben Affleck as the blind vigilante in red. Mark Steven Johnson returns as writer-director. No word yet on which characters will return and whether any new characters will be introduced.
  • IGN.com has posted their Best of 2004 awards, and View Askew proved it was still on the map. For the award of Best Bonus
    Collection/Extras, The Ultimate Matrix Collection took the honors, but Clerks X was the first runner-up. Clerks X also nabbed a runner-up award in the
    Best Making-of Feature(s), which the newly released Star Wars trilogy effortly grabbed. Also with DVD of the Year, it was a tie between Lord of the Rings
    and UItimate Matrix, with Clerks X coming in as a runner-up. It’s cool to see a ten year old classic giving flicks like Hellboy and LoTR a run for their
    money. On a slighlt unrelated View Askew note, in the Best Director’s Cut/Special Edition, DareDevil: Director’s Cut won the honors. If you’ve yet to
    check out that cut, it’s a very much improved version of the theatrical.
  • Check out the very interesting official site to Southland Tales , the new Richard Kelly film in which Kevin is playing a
    role to which we’ve yet to hear any details. It’s a very obscure site, but perhaps some of you sleuths out there can dig up some clues as to what this
    mysterious flick is all about.
  • FX guru Vincent Guastini cites Kevin as his best working experience on a film in this new
    interview he did with Movies Online. Vinny and his crew are responsible for some of the practical effects you see in
    Dogma and Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back.
  • Mewes scores a name drop in CHUD’s review of the Collateral DVD. It’s in one of the screenshot photo captions.
  • An Afroman ipostor was ordered to cease and decist for impersonating the man in live shows
    up and down the west coast. Many of you remember the REAL Afroman’s “Because I Got High” tune from J&SBSB’s credits.
