• If things seem to be loading a bit slow here, we’re suffering just some slight lag from all of you enjoying the Clerks 2 Trailer, now available everywhere! We can’t even stop playing and replaying this one, and it’s truly amazing how many scenes of the film that get touched on here. Remember, this one’s been edited together special for you, the fans on the internet, and will play much differently than the more mainstream version that appears later this month with Scary Movie 4. Consider it a bonus trailer! Kevin also checked in with a brief post to share more kudos:

Haven’t seen the trailer yet? Get moving to the Clerks 2 site! Or hey, go watch it again, and SPREAD THE WORD!

• Respected UK publication Empire Magazine recently named their top 50 Independent Films of all time. “Clerks” had the distinction of being high up in the list among great company, and took the #4 spot! You can view the write-up HERE or start with the bottom of the list at THIS page. Here’s what they had to say about the film:

Congratulations to the View Askew gang for the kudos among some very nice competition!

• Our favorite photo-guy Albert Ortega again hooks us up with his beautiful, detailed, high resolution shots, this time, from Kevin’s recent WizardWorld appearance in Los Angeles. Check out this batch above by clicking the thumbnails, where you’ll find new, exclusive shots of Kevin’s Q&A, the View Askew booth, Jason Mewes, and more. As always, we thank Albert and his wife Maya for sharing this stuff with us, allowing us to pass them on to you. You can find Maya’s photos from the event online as well.

• Unfortunately, it seems Kevin has had to unexpectedly drop out of playing the Harry Knowles role in “Fanboys”, due to a last minute scheduling conflict.
• A new, editorial-style article on “My Name Is Earl” appears over at Philly.com today. Here’s a new quote from Lee:

Amen sir. And may the show run another 10 years!

• More info on the kudos to Kevin in indie flick “For Catherine” – Kevin’s also mentioned twice in the commentary track, with the director at one point saying, “I think I was channeling Kevin Smith when I wrote this.”
