- Once again proving their Con-web synergy superiority, SciFi (an NBC company) has followed suit with their sister network and posted an outstanding quality, full length video of one of the hottest tickets in San Diego last weekend, the one hour panel featuring stars and creators of Battlestar Galactica, all hilariously moderated by superfan Kevin Smith himself.
Wanna watch? It’s all just a very simple click away.
With the show on hiatus, if you’re not watching, now is a fantastic time to pick up DVDs and catch up on easily one of the top 3, quite possibly the BEST show on television right now.

- In addition to the great Galactica clip above, we’ve got a ton of video for you in today’s edition of the ‘Bites. First up, one scooper has uncovered some never-before-seen footage from a Q&A that Kevin conducted in Melbourne, Australia a couple years back promoting the release of “Clerks II” . Thanks to Popcorn Taxi for the clippage.
- One of our favorite mash-ups of recent memory – A fan has taken the dour sountrack from that awesome “Watchmen” teaser (that we hope you’ve by now seen and drooled over) and mashed it up into a new “Mallrats” trailer. Gotta love it. First, check out the Watchmen trailer over at the Apple Quicktime site, then move onto this one. Major kudos to the author!
- The great JoBlo.com once again tosses up some View Askew coverage, with 2 brief interviews with stars Elizabeth Banks and Seth Rogen conducted at last weekend’s Comic-Con. Banks reveals some background on the Miri character, and Rogen chats up NC-17 and the ever-popular adlib question. Looks like it’s rough to get to these folks, good on JoBlo for hanging with the press masses.
- This week, the great “Reaper” finally premiered in South Africa – The Kevin Smith-directed pilot aired for the first time on TV there. If you’re in the country, be sure and tune on in.
- Yes folks, get ready for a site that will crack you up though you didn’t know existed — Ok maybe ya did, and if so, shame on you. But no, seriously, the “Mamarazzi” website, which is, you guessed it, dedicated to celebrity cleavage, cites Rosario Dawson’s famous rooftop “Clerks II” dance as #3 in their countdown of the “The 10 Hottest Celebrity Boob Jiggling Videos”. God bless the internet.
- And finally, a bit of News Askew Retro to end your day — Kevin and Joey Lauren Adams appeared on the MTV pick-up “Squirt TV” back in 1996 before they went off to make Chasing Amy. The gimmick was this was a public access type show that a young kid hosted in his actual bedroom. So, this dates back about 12 years now, and through the magic of YouTube, can now be watched online for the first time in News Askew history. Check out some retro, and enjoy. ‘Til next time…
