- Kevin attended a New Jersey Devils hockey game over the weekend, where a video was shown, filmed by Kevin, congratulating Ken Daneyko on the retiring of his #3 jersey. If anyone’s got a copy we can post, drop us a line. We hear it was funny but hard to hear over the crowd.
- Kevin is briefly cited in this Australian Age piece on “25 Must-See Films”:
This raised in my tiny mind the spectre of something director Kevin Smith (Clerks, Chasing Amy, etc) once said. It was OK that he hadn’t seen the films of the great European masters, he believed, because the directors he admired had, and that was close enough.
- According to Davis DVD, “Making a repeat appearance on The Opie & Anthony Show (XM Satellite Radio 202), comedian/actor actor Judah Friedlander gave an update on the status of Feast, the horror movie whose production was notoriously documented on the “Project Greenlight 3″ series. The film will finally see release this October in limited midnight screenings, followed by a DVD release by The Weinstein Co. and Genius Products. “Feast” — directed by John Gulager and starring Navi Rawat, Krista Allen, Balthazar Getty and Jason Mewes — was one of a handful of films that Harvey and Bob Weinstein took with them to their new company after their split from The Walt Disney Company in early 2005.” In the bloodfest a group of strangers gather in a bar where they’re attacked and systematically killed by monsters.
We’re looking forward to seeing this one. You may recall, Kevin screened an early version of the film on the series.
- The View Askew Pixel Pound, the #1 spot on the web to store pics from your View Askew events, has expanded with a new Forum, a WikiPedia page, and a MySpace site. Be sure and check them out!
- In case you haven’t checked it out yet — Here’s that clip of the spanish Jay & Silent Bob. Fun stuff.
- And while you’re watching videos over there, you just gotta love this one. With all the “Jaws” references that Kevin’s made in his films, we’re sure that he, and the rest of you, will appreciate “Must Love Jaws”. See ya next time!
