“Mewes Cam”

• Ah, we love the New Year because it’s already bringing us a steady steam of new Clerks 2 vids from Zak and Joey. Good on ya, boys. Jason Mewes runs the show in this latest edition, “Mewes Cam”, where the obvious happens – Mewes runs the cam and terrorizes the cast and crew. You’ll quickly discover his favorite gender of the species when you see who gets more camera time. In this clip you’ll spot new appearances from the likes of Kevin, Scott, Brian, Jeff, Rosario, and of course, the hard working crew members at the Mooby’s set. Jay conducts on camera interviews like no other, and it’s always amusing, so kick back and enjoy the man in action.

• Here’s a fun couple pics today — A member of our News Askew Forums, known affectionately as the “NAF” amongst our members, sent in these snaps. XHippie, from New Hampshire, was so excited about his visit to the Leonardo Quick Stop that he talked the clerk inside into letting him hang that banner. Nope, it’s NOT a Photoshop job, that’s real! Well played.
• You can now visit the OFFICIAL SITE for “Catch and Release”, Kevin’s first starring role in a non-View Askew production. Nothing there but a splash page and his scene-stealing preview, though we expect more will come as April 28th closes in.
• The very brief Clerks 2 teaser that appeared at the Clerks 2 site made #87 on the list of the top 100 trailers this year at JoBLo.
• The lovely Eliza Dushku, more affectionately known to some from her J&SBSB days as “Duckshoot” is going to Broadway. New York Magazine reports she’ll appear in the play “Dog Sees GOD”, which is a parody of Charles Schultz’s “Peanuts”, with Dushku playing a character based on Lucy:

You can catch the play at The Century Center for the Performing Arts.

• And finally today, the Clerks cartoon this week yet again proved just how ahead of the curve it was with the funny. Arrested Development, one of the funniest shows on TV right now, totally stole our “Judge Reinhold” as a judge gig for this week’s episode. Here’s hoping the show can find new life on another network. It’s just too clever to go out like this.
