• In the Newsweek dated April 17th, with Katie Couric on the cover, there’s a mention about Kevin’s “Me and My Shadow” series. Page 18 in “The Technologist” section, at the bottom in their Blog Watch:

The series continues this week at the MySpace and Speaks blog sites. Honest, moving storytelling at its best. Don’t miss it.

• Our good friend, photographer Albert Ortega is back with another series of photos, this time from Kevin and Scott’s April 5th appearance at “Film Indepedent’s The Director’s Series with Kevin Smith & Skywalker Sound”. The event took place last week in West Hollywood. As always, these are highest quality, high resolution photos you can get, so be sure to click for crystal clear views of the event. Check out that Mosier beard-age! More thumbnails can be found at the WireImage site as well.

• Viva la France! Check out these photos that Kevin passed on today (via a poster at the View Askew Board), showing a VERY classy French video store window. We hope any of our French fans who are in the area give their patronage to this place.
• An early Clerks II teaser trailer (featuring only Clerks 1 scenes) is currently 6th on the list of top previews at major film website “Coming Soon”. Keep spreading the word, folks!
• Stan Lee still wants a shot in front of the camera again with Kevin. Check out this excerpt from a recent Newsarama interview with the man:

NRAMA: While you didn’t get to play JJJ, Stan, you’re now a big-screen veteran, having appeared in several Marvel film adaptations and Kevin Smith’s immortal Mallrats. Anything coming up on the silver screen in the future?

SL: Well, I’ve got a cameo in X-Men 3, but it’s not exactly the kinda role that’ll qualify me for an Oscar nomination. Of course, I’m still hoping Kevin Smith will do a sequel to Mallrats and that he’ll let me play myself again—or anyone else, for that matter. I’m easy to please.

• Kevin is mentioned in Monday’s Podcast over at CinemaBlend. In it, they chat about Jersey Girl, Clerks 2, and the direction of his career. You can skip 20 minutes in to get right to the Kev stuff.
• The Quick Stop and View Askew inaction figures make an appearance in a web comic over at the “Wrestling Fan” website.
• The Fine folks at joblo.com have Mallrats in their weekly Ten Spot colum. This week they are counting down the best rabbit appearences in film. Jay and Bob beating the hell out of the Easter bunny clocked in at #7:

You can check out a shot of this and other moments HERE.

• And finally today — Since we’re in the Holiday spirit and all — And it’s sort of a fun Mallrats tangent to the story above — We suggest you give a watch to “The Easter Bunny Hates You”. Some laugh-out-loud good stuff in that clip. Enjoy, and Happy Easter!

• Due to some issues with the unrated Clerks 2 trailer being out there, it’s likely going to be removed from the YouTube site — But before it is, Kevin’s asking you ALL to watch it a few more times to get our numbers up! If you haven’t seen it yet, or just not in a while, give it a look – Doesn’t get old to us! And don’t forget to post a comment, as well. Here’s Kevin:

There’s a full update on the way later today — So stay tuned!
