- The webcomic called “Hijinks Ensue” continued their 2 part arc covering Kevin’s ability to see Geek movies before everyone else this weekend. You can catch our previously mentioned Watchmen edition HERE, and the continuation which mentions “Star Trek” HERE.
- CORRECTION: It seems that “Fanboys” may see a theatrical release after all. In our last update, we mentioned a December 23rd arrival for the DVD, but it turns out that a September 19th release date was announced in San Diego. Certainly worth seeking out from the sound of it (and we’re sure that Kevin’s cameo remains intact).
- We’ve been known to post some tidbits or video segements from Kevin’s Q&A sessions here, and of course there’s the DVDs, but it’s rare that we’ll see a long form Q&A with another of View Askew’s vets, Jason Mewes! Mewes has been hitting the convention circuit lately, promoting some of his upcoming film efforts, taking pictures, signing autographs, and the like. This one comes to us from Monster Mania and was posted in a four-part Youtube video filmed by one of the attendees. The worst part is probably some low audio here and there, so get your headphones or turn up your audio and listen closely. Mewes seems to work the crowd and relate to the attendees really well, so watch the dude work the room and enjoy!
- Longtime fan Tony Teofilo had a chance to sit down with Toby Keith and Mallrats alum Claire Forlani to chat up their new film “Beer for my Horses”, and guess what — He asked her about “Mallrats” and working with Kevin again! It’s always neat to hear her British accent as she’s often seen playing American roles, so worth the watch just for that, and also to see that rare connection made to the Askewniverse. Nice job, Tony — And yep, for the record, she does say she’d do it again – Wouldn’t that be cool? How about Forlani for “Red State”? We’d dig that.
- If you look closely at the first paragraph of this review of “Babylon AD”, you’ll notice that the reviewer mentions the superior nature of the “Jersey Girl” director’s cut to the theatrical version that most of you have seen. We’re still hoping that somehow that wonderful director’s cut can see the light of day. If a Vulgarthon comes up in 2009, let’s hope Kevin breaks that one out again.
- While certainly not at all a laughing matter, one shopkeeper had some good humor in advance of Hurricane Gustav’s arrival in Lousiana with this “Clerks” tribute spray painted on his plywood window coverings. Stay safe, everyone.

Unfortunately the “Clerks” tribute pic was off Yahoo when I looked for it, but I did find a pic of it on Flickr at http://www.flickr.com/photos/maitri/2817798575/
(I tried posting this yesterday morning but I guess the server chinchillas decided to eat my previous comment for a snack.)
