- The very reliable VideoETA has hit us today with a surprise — Confirmation of a slightly earlier Clerks II video/DVD release than planned – November 28, 2006! We don’t have details on the specs for the disc yet, so there’s no telling if this will be a movie-only version with the spectacular special edition to follow, or yet another in the long line of jam-packed View Askew SE DVDs. Kevin’s been known to have the SE’s ready day and date, so chances are we’ll catch a commentary track, some Train Wrecks, and lots more when the final specs on this one arrive. We’ll let you know more as we hear it, until then, mark the calendar. We’re expecting big signing events at the Stashes, signed copies available to order, and lots more this Fall.

- Many folks were looking for the Clerks II comic “Tales From The Clerks” collection that was originally slated for this summer – Kevin now reveals that the final touches are still being put on the book and that no official release date has yet been announced. However, he ALSO confirms this will contain EVERY View Askew comic ever released (which is freaking FANTASTIC) plus be the only place to catch the new comic which bridges some lost time in the world of “Clerks”. This is a must-buy, folks, for every fan, so we’ll be on top of it and certainly let you know when we have a new confirmed date. This is certainly one to watch for.

- This makes more sense — The ads proclaiming that the “Evening With” collection, which will take the new Evening Harder and pair it with the original set, had advertised THREE DISCS, which baffled many — New ads and sites now have the set confirmed to be FOUR discs, which makes a lot more sense (2 discs for each session). Australian websites EzyDVD and JBHiFi both report the disc arriving in their neck of the woods on Wednesday, October 25th, slightly earlier than we’re seeing it stateside. Hey, it’s a good time to be an Australian.

- Kevin confirms with Fangoria Magazine that he was indeed slated to record a commentary track for the horror classic Texas Chainsaw Massacre Part 2. Unfortuntaely, the Clerks II press blitz just got in the way. Kevin remained tight-lipped on his plans for his new foray into the horror genre.
- The latest issue of UK magazine Total Film gives Clerks II a perfect rating of FIVE STARS!!! If anyone has scans, hook us up.
- Looks like those “Southland Tales” comments we posted were, as they sometimes are, taken out of context by the press. Richard Kelly has come forth to say that “been finishing a shorter cut” of the movie, and that it’s “in better shape than ever.” This is encouraging news indeed! Let’s hope Kev’s part remains. The second graphic novel of The Prequel Saga, “Southland Tales – Book II: Fingerprints, will be released on September 13th. Book III will likely come out in mid-October. The film represents chapter IV-VI. Check out the Myspace page for the flick HERE. We can’t wait to see this one for ourselves.
- This fun article on bad CGI usage in films brings up Kevin a couple times (in a positive way, of course, like when they talk about his mockery of the Wild, Wild West spider).
- Wanna see that way cool Earl bobblehead that they’re giving away FREE at the Hagerstown, MD Suns ballgames on Sunday? Peep it HERE. A rare collector’s item for Lee/Earl fans for sure.
- Jason Mewes will be staring as “Jason” in the upcoming picture “Jason & Ross”, along side Daniel Franzese (Mean Girls, Hometown Legend, Bully). For more information, go to their Myspace page.
