• Kevin has the distinction of being a part of Wikipedia’s definition of Degrassi. The resource is a user-run, web-based encyclopedia, getting more impressive by the minute. We also hear there’s a small plug for next week’s new Jay and Bob do Degrassi DVD in Alternative Press — If anyone’s got a scan, or a transcription, let us know.
• AMC theatres are running a piece on “My Name is Earl” during their Moviewatcher Countdown preshow entertainment. It is the latest in their “Beyond the Script” segments. Show up early at your local AMC to check it out.

As you can see, View Askew sets continue to be some of the most fun, interesting sets to work on in the industry. More updates soon!

• With the ever-changing web environment as each View Askew film is made, we’re seeing more and more web-based coverge of Kevin’s flicks than ever before. This time, we’ve got the diary updates, photos, and of course, the excellent video segements from the set of Clerks 2. This is easily the most information that we’ve been privy to directly via View Askew for any production thus far. So, for our production site this time, we’ve done something a bit different. Rather than compete with the excellent stuff that’s already out there, in regular intervals, our “Back Behind The Counter” site is just a simple collection of everything that’s been thrown out there so far.

BBTC features just a few easy to navigate sections, which collect, in library form, the latest photos, videos, cast, and all of our Clerks 2-related articles as posted at News Askew. It’s a nice way to look back, focused on the film itself. It’s also a quick way to see if there’s any photos or videos that you might have missed from the Clerks 2 site along the way.

We’re not sure if there will be a quick turnaround with this one, but we’ll be continuing to brainstorm on other items we can add to supplement everything that’s out there, and make some improvements along the way. We hope you’ll find the simple site a useful resource in keeping up with the latest peeks at what’s sure to be the most exciting View Askew release yet. Stay tuned for more.

• On Sunday, November 20th, Red Bank, New Jersey will GO CANADIAN! Kevin and Jason make a trimphant return to the walls of the original, East Coast Secret Stash to celebrate the arrival of “Jay & Silent Bob Do Degrassi” on DVD! The festivities begin at 1:00 PM, where you can pick up your own copy in the Motherland, do a meet-and-greet with Kev & Jay, and get your disc signed before you even get a chance to watch it. How cool is that, ‘eh? Plus, this marks the start of the final days of the Clerks 2 shooting, and CONFIRMS that some of the pic will indeed film in Jersey (yes, we can now officially reveal that tidbit).

Oh yes, News Askew WILL be there to cover the event. We’ll see you there, east coasters (as well as the rest of you who hop planes to make the event). As those of you who live here know, Red Bank events always bring in HUGE crowds of devoted fans, as well as a party atmosphere, so you know you gotta be there for this one, too. Plus, hey, it’s on a Sunday — So no excuses for having work or school. We’ll see ya there!
