- Kevin will be doing the Q&A thing at a rare appearance in Ohio. It’s taking place Millett Hall in Oxford, Ohio on Saturday, November 22nd. Tickets are now on sale and a bargain at $40 for any seat in the house. They’re going FAST, so if you’re in the area, or plan to be in the area around Thanksgiving, you’ll want to buy them now. Pick them up direct at the website.
Appearances from Kevin on the coasts are more common than those in the middle of the US and elsewhere, so when you have a chance to catch Kevin live, don’t miss it — Everyone gets loads of laughs, many hours of entertainment, and no one leaves having a bad time. With the new flick just released prior to this appearance, Kevin will likely have a bunch of new tales to tell, so even if you’ve seen the live Q&A before, you gotta go back — We can’t even count the amount of times we’ve seen the man live, and every single time has been totally different and worth the trip. We’ll have more details as the date draws closer, but for now, get those tix before the place sells out!

- We’re all anxiously awaiting the arrival of the “Zack & Miri Make a Porno” webisodes from Chop Shop Entertainment, called “Money Shots”. While you’re waiting, though, we’ve got a nice little treat for you today — Chop Shop did some special Behind The Scenes webisodes for an online series that NBC is doing called “Gemini Division”, starring none other that “Clerks II”‘s Rosario Dawson. Even cooler, the DP they used was View Askew original Baby Dave Klein.
- The great “Clerks” shows up in Yahoo’s photo essay of the 25 Best Buddy Movies.
- A photo of two fans dressed as Jay & Silent Bob at the recent San Diego Con makes Geeklogie’s massive gallery of the best costumes of the year. Female Ghostbusters? Call us.
- Parade Magazine interviews Seth Rogen about “Pineapple Express”, though “Zack And Miri Make a Porno” also gets a drop:
Q: Next you’re going to be seen in Kevin Smith’s Zack and Miri Make A Porno, which is having problems getting an R-rating due to explicit sexuality.A: Looking back on filming, it was sort of romantic. But there is definitely some sex, and I know it’s gotten a reputation as a filthy movie. We live in a world where you can disembowel someone in a youth hostel in Romania but you can’t show people having sex. I think it’s weird. I honestly don’t think it deserves an NC-17 rating. Maybe we should have taken ‘porno’ out of the title. That kind of freaks people out, even though it is like the number one industry in the universe.
Yeah, but we just don’t think “Zack & Miri Make a Movie” would have the same ring, ya know?
- Actor Jason Statham (of the “Transporter” series, “Crank”, and lots more) has gone public stating he’d love to take over Ben Affleck’s role as “Daredevil” in future films.
- Finally today, a familiar View Askew icon makes an appearance in this Intructables (Billed as “The world’s biggest show and tell”) listing of Napier’s Bones.
The BTS webisodes are now available for immediate streaming. Since so many C2 alums are involved, we thought you may wanna take a look. Special thanks to Zak at Chop Shop — We’ll keep waiting for the scoop on those “Money Shots”!
