- As promised, here’s that Bleepin’ Awesome video link at YouTube where Kevin announces the big contest (and does a little Clerks II DVD pimpin’ as well, of course!). Full details on the contest appear in our Sunday News Askew update. You only have until December 6th, so get to work! Don’t miss that ending Clerks II promo, too, it’s a great one.
- We’ve just received confirmation on this one: CLERKS II on HD-DVD is official for JANUARY 16TH! Those of you with shiny new HD-DVD players under the tree (or those fancy Xbox 360 add-on numbers) will want to pick this up for an amazingly clear, best possible copy in your library.
- Want to play as the one and only Jason Lee in the new Tony Hawk game? Enter “notmono†as a code. Our boy will then be unlocked in Free Skate mode. Enjoy!
- And on another video game note, a bit more detail on Jason Mewes’ voice role in the new Scarface game: He is the Manager of Fidel’s Records. The mission itself is to stop his car and get 3 mix tapes. You then have to beat him up without killing him. Fun stuff, but poor Jason!
- The morning show hosted by Kevin and Bean on KROQ/106.7 FM in Southern California releases their own Christmas Album every year. It’s due this Tuesday, and one of the tracks caught one scooper’s attention: “27. Kevin Smith’s Christmas Memoryâ€. We’re not sure what this entails, but we’re figuring fans can find out soon — We’ll also post audio if we can get a hold of it. The disc will also contain a Christmas message from Stan Lee. The album’s theme this year is “Super Christmasâ€. More details at kroq.com.
- Sorry, Aussies – Our Australian source reveals that you will NOT get your own version of the Clerks II Happy Meal box there — So you won out with Evening Harder, but with this one you’ll need to buy it from the States. The largest DVD seller there, JB HiFi, apparently did not commit to enough units to bring the set overseas.
- Dark Horizons reveals, in a video interview , Brandon Routh says he wants to see Brainiac as the villain in the “Superman†sequel “The Man of Steelâ€. Could pieces (or ALL) of Kevin’s script make a return? Gosh, we’d sure love to see it still (and wish it was the Supes movie that was made this time around, actually).
- And finally today, since it wouldn’t be a Halloween without some Jays and Bobs — So here’s a photo that scooper Banks Lee sent in of him as Silent Bob. See ya next time, folks! Thanks for dropping by News Askew today.
