• Kevin’s blog reveals that Monday’s shoot was a Jay & Bob-centric one, and presents us with the moment many of us have been waiting for. Here’s your first look at how the duo will look when they make their return to the big silver screen! More news later.

• A fresh week means a shiny new edition of Radio Askew with Will & Scott — The eighth edition is celebrated with a HUGE phone interview with the elusive and quippy Brian Lynch, some words about Kevin’s recent Clerks 2 bloggage, and more. As always, available for free download to your ipod or MP3 conveyance of choice at Radio Askew.

• We’re not sure of the origin, but we were sent this shot of Jay & Bob as cuddly little stuffed bears, as well as some other amusing film characters in that same format. Funny stuff.
• A very unique honor for “Clerks” — It’s being included in a new 11-disc Sundance Film Festival collection.
• Anyone by some crazy chance picked up the new Elektra director’s cut DVD today? Wondering if Affleck’s lost scene as Matt Murdock made it back into the cut.
• ABC News has picked up on the Degrassi trend even briefly citing Kevin’s appearance on the program as evidence of its popularity.

• Let’s start the scan parade! First up, some fun tibits on “My Name Is Earl” from TV Guide and Entertainment Weekly. As always, click ‘em to read ‘em.
• Film Threat gives a quick nod to the Clerks 2 video diary in this article, which details the advent of the Video Ipod and the possibilities for the VIDEO PODCAST. Boy, we’d love to see these Clerks 2 clips hit the Video Podcast…Oh wait, guess we’d need to SCORE us some Video Ipods first…Drat!

• We originally expected just one or two video entries a week on the Clerks 2 site, but now, with a bit of budget, time and talent behind the project, it looks like we’re gonna get a whole lot more. Yahoo!

“Day One” gives us just that — A look at the events on DAY ONE of the Clerks 2 shoot. We see the set unveiling, Dante and Randal in (and out of) character, a peek at one of the newest members of the Askewniverse behind the counter, and even a quick look at one of the latest ads of brilliance to come out of Ratface’s shop: The original “Cow Tipper” at just $3.95. Man, ya gotta love it.

There’s a new spot there for a flick called “The Boards” too, which by the looks of the preview, appears it’s going to introduce us to some of the flick’s storyboards (always a personal favorite of ours). However, at presstime, these links are broken at the Clerks 2 site. We’re guessing they’ll be fixed shortly, and when they are, we’ll update this story right here.

As always, the Clerks 2 site is the place to go to watch these in various shapes and sizes. And the quality and download speed have never been better. Kudos to everyone involved. We’re really digging these.
