The COOLEST Auctions Askew Items EVER!
- Those of you that have been with us for a while here know the deal with Auctions Askew – Get yourself some pretty rare stuff from the flicks, often one-of-a-kind stuff. The auctions have returned for another round, and after an amazing selection last week, Kev’s outdone himself this time, offering up probably some of the most amazing, iconic items from the Askewniverse yet. Yes, you can be the ONLY PERSON IN THE WORLD to say you own this stuff. And that sure is saying somethin’. Let’s take a peek at this week’s offerings:
1. Silent Bob’s SCREEN WORN SHIRT from CLERKS II
2. The one and only FOAM SCALE MODEL of Mooby’s, used in the CLERKS II production
3. The UPDATE NEWS NOW sign from J&SBSB’s onscreen newscast with Jon and Will
4. The BABY DAVE poster from CHASING AMY’s con scene (this one’s a true cinematic icon, and will likely set records, but one of the most amazing offerings ever)
5. The HOSTIES box from DOGMA (yet another icon from a legendary film, we can’t believe they’re letting this one go)
6. A playbill for the pageant in JERSEY GIRL (complete with a listing of all the kids performing works from “Cats”)

Don’t let any of these gems slip through your fingers! Visit the official thread at the View Askew board, and get your bid on RIGHT HERE.
Smith & Mos To Host “Crazy 4 Cult”…
- Now here’s some coolness for ya — Kevin’s announced that he and Scott are going to host an art show on July 17th, and the art that’s being featured has the subject of “Cult Movies” – In other words, this is likely to be some of the coolest art that a movie geek has ever laid his or her eyes on. Here’s Kevin from his blog with the scoopage:
There’s an art show that Scott Mosier and I are hosting in L.A. next month. The subject of the show is cult movies, so all the pieces will be themed to cult flicks. Check out the invite (above).
The show will be held at Gallery 1988. Check out some stuff from their video game-themed exhibition entitled “I Am 8 Bit.”
“Crazy 4 Cult” is gonna be a kick-ass show, and it’s absolutely free (unless you wanna buy some artwork, naturally). You can’t miss this! Come one out for the July 17th opening, check out some bad-ass artwork and smoke some cigarettes with me!
More details (just a few though) over at the Gallery’s website.
Monday Brings Us SModcast #16!
- It’s Smith. It’s Mosier. It’s Monday. Yep, It’s SModcast.
SModcast 16: Bungpiece.com
In which our heroes rock some poker in the back (and liquor up front), opt to talk about the previous SModcast in lieu of new topics, enter “Jaws” as a length of measurement, enjoy an impromptu visit from a cinematic stoner and discuss his spicey endorsement prospects, try to wheel and deal for a starring role as a gay hustler, and enjoy looking at underwear.
Where do ya get it? Why, exclusively over at Quick Stop Entertainment, of course.

- “Clerks” popped up on a boston.com list of top “Work Films” today:
‘Clerks’ (1994)
Instead of the stereotypical office, Kevin Smith illustrates the stereotypical corner shop job in his film, “Clerks.” The movie follows Dante Hicks and his buddy Randal Graves as they deal with a typical work day with some atypical problems. We love it when, every time he’s faced with a problem, Dante repeatedly reminds the audience, “I’m not even supposed to be here today.” Who hasn’t been stuck in that type of situation?
- Kevin showed up in a pool at a beta entertainment site called “Buzzdash”. He’s part of the running for “Favorite Cinematic Kevin”. He’s holding a strong 22% of the vote at presstime, though we figure you may get some votes in to help that along after reading this ‘bite. Get on over and let your digital voice be heard!
- The famous IMDB has updated their “Zack and Miri Make A Porno” page with a new URL, discussion area, and 2008 release target. We also noticed that a dude named Shawn Patterson is currently listed as the original music dude for “Red State” on its IMDB page. Can’t say for sure how solid that info is this early in the game, though, as we thought Jim Venable might be on board. We’ll see what we can dig up.
- And finally today, seems that the Emperor has a bit of a problem with those Death Star independent contractors in this new Robot Chicken sketch that premiered on Cartoon Network’s “Adult Swim” last night. Enjoy! Off to eat some birthday cake…See ya…
