Auctions Askew – Back For TWO MONTHS!

July 18th @ 6:03 pm | No Comments » | Scooped by Ming

  • Auctions Askew, the only website in the world where you can own authentic, one of a kind (or close to it) props used in all of View Askew’s films. Own a piece of View Askew history and display it proudly, making your friends and family insanely jealous. This stuff is always so cool we wish we could just buy it all right up. But we can’t. That’s where you come in. All you do is put in a bid, and hope that others don’t bid higher than you do. The stuff goes to the highest bidder at the end of each bidding period. Most of this stuff won’t ever be back (since there’s only one of it, usually), so make sure you bid enough to nab it. Or live in regret!


    This week, there’s quite a range of items. Screen used Mooby meal items, which we saw in person on the Clerks II set and can attest are quite nifty and impressive to show off. And the official Mooby’s flag seen in the film (our favorite this week). The cow tipper poster would look hilarious in your rec room at home, ready for framing! And, of course, that VERY rare and cool Brodie sign, which we’re betting will be the big ticket item of the bunch. For beautiful, full color large photos, descriptions, and to make a bid, visit Auctions Askew. Watch it though, one of these weeks we’re just not going to be able to resist bidding on something for ourselves. It’s great to see these icons making their way into the hands of the fans, though, so enjoy.


    We hear that Auctions Askew will return once a week with new items for the next TWO MONTHS! Good news if you’re waiting for that something special. Over the next two months, we’ll offer up props dating from “Chasing Amy” all the way to the present. Don’t miss your chance to own a part of View Askew. Visit Auctions Askew and register to bid today. Good luck to all!

  • The great /film announces that Kevin will do a LIVE review of the already record-breaking “The Dark Knight” on their live webcast, called /Filmcast. You can catch it at their Live website this Monday at 10 PM EST / 7 PM PST. You can watch and participate in a live chat there during the broadcast. The guys are hoping to ask Kevin some questions about “Zack & Miri Make a Porno” as well, so it’s well worth tuning in. See ya there.
  • Seth Rogen continues to break new barriers of coolness with an episode of animated powerhouse “The Simpsons” next season in which he wrote and will star. Aint It Cool News got the scoop:


      The “Simpsons” episode written by Seth Rogan logline: Comic Book Guy creates a super hero, it’s turned into feature film, Homer plays the hero. Seth plays his personal trainer. Homer gets into great shape, but then the movie is over and he can’t afford the personal trainer anymore and his life becomes hell.


    And of course, we’ll be there. But with “The Simpsons”, that’s a given. Now if only we lived close enough to Universal Studios to try out that new ride

  • Variety reports that Hungary’s TV2 has already acquired first run rights to (eventually) broadcast “Zack And Miri Make a Porno” on their channel – And this before it’s even hit theaters! That’s smart business right there.
  • Here’s that info we promised on the Texas screening of Brian O’Halloran’s “Brutal Massacre: A Comedy” – It’s happening at 6:30 PM on Sunday, July 20th.and the Granada Theater in Dallas. Call 214-824-9933 for tickets and info. Purchase tix prior to the 20th and save $2.50 on each. No word on which cast or crew will be at this showing, at the moment.
  • And finally today, for those of you “Clerks” fans wondering what the average jizz mopper makes these days, seems that upcoming video game Postal III is bringing this trade back into the spotlight. Man, those guys at Running With Scissors are nuts. We’ll see ya next time…
