- Kevin reports that Clerks 2 is as “done as it can be at this pointâ€, and that they’re a month ahead of schedule. Fantastic news!
- Jason Lee brightened up the View Askew boards with a kind post yesterday — Despite Earl’s fame, you can see he hasn’t forgotten the fans who’ve been with him for a long time:
Very sorry to have lost to DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES again, but I guess that’s just the way of the land, huh?
On to the next, as they say, and I’m very happy that we’ve been picked up for a second season.
And thanks to you all for the EARL support; it’s much appreciated.
Best to you all,
Jasonâ€
Take care Jason, and happy to hear you’re feeling better.
- Don’t forget, folks — Kevin comes to Indianapolis THIS THURSDAY! Catch a blurb with their local paper, the Indianapolis Star, with features some quotes from a new phone interview with Kevin.
- Speaking of appearances, if you’re interested in some tix from a DIFFERENT session, we’ve got a dude looking to sell his 4 Calgary Q&A tix (he can no longer make the show). Contact Brent at calkevtix@hotmail.com. He’s letting them go under face value after surcharges, $55 each. Orchestra Level, Row C, Seats 12-15.
- In their recent issue, Enternaiment Weekly features the top 10 most influential movies from Sundance. Clerks makes the list:
What’s the Big deal? Clerks reflected the stifled suburban lives of a generation spoon-fed on pop culture and stalled out in go-nowhere McJobs. In other words, Smith tapped into the lucrative base of indie film’s most passionate ticket buyers: guys just like him.
What ever happened to…: After riding high on the fumes of his Jay and Silent bob opus, Smith’s been low-profiling it since 2004’s Jersey Girl.
We wouldn’t necessarily call his many guest shots, comic books, and of course, Clerks 2 LOW PROFILING it, but hey. The news archives here speak for themselves!
- We’d like to congratulate Roy Zaletski on being the first fan we know of to bring home his new baby (Andrew) from the hospital in his spiffy new Mooby’s shirt. And of course, congrats on bringing another View Askew fan into the world, as well.
- In this interview with Matt Zoller Seitz, a critic that Kevin credits for the inspiration to make CHASING AMY, author Alonso Duralde discusses that film’s inclusion in his book.
- Apparently, that Freddy Vs. Jay & Silent Bob video has an “official site†and originated in Scotland, of all places. Visit the site for tons of stills and, of course, that oddly compelling video iteself.
- Poker expert Phil Gordon mentions that Kevin played in a tournament with him during Sundance last week in his latest column.
