- Kevin made a brief post at the web board to confirm that the MGM Logo, growling lion and all, has been removed from the front of “Zack And Miri Make a Porno”. The Weinsteins want the credit and the kudos all to themselves for this one. Above, we’ve got a scan direct from The Weinstein Co. of the new official one-sheet, without that MGM logo on there. No further details on the last-minute switch, but the movie’s the same, and everyone loves it. And at the end of the day, that’s all that matters, right?

- “Zack and Miri Make a Porno” isn’t done with its Canadian run just yet, and neither is Kevin. This Sunday, September 28th, Kevin will welcome a packed room of fans at the Winspear Centre in Edmonton, Alberta for a live “Evening With Kevin Smith”. Tickets are still available via that link, so if you’re been waffling, this is your time to GRAB THOSE SEATS! A variety of prices are available depending on where you want to sit. You always get more than your money’s worth at Kev’s shows, never once has he disappointed a crowd, and he talks typically as long as the venue and his stamina allow (4 hours on average, better than any movie or broadway show!). Be there.
Then, on Monday, September 29th, “Zack and Miri Make a Porno” will make its Edmonton premiere at their International Film Festival. Given that the man is already in town for the Q&A, we’re guessing he might show up to present the flick to the audience. He’ll still be in Canada for…
Another “Evening With” Q&A appearance in Calgary!
He’ll be at the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology. A Canadian trifecta of big events! If you’re in the region, go to one, two, or heck, why not hit ALL THREE? We look forward to hearing from some of you lucky attendees.

- Entertainment Weekly, who you may recall as the first major entertainment magazine to mention “Zack and Miri Make a Porno” when they published a script page, briefly mentions the movie again in an article on deceptive (or in this case, dead on the money) movie titles.
- We love Empire Magazine, and they love View Askew as well — “Clerks” ranks on their top 500 movies of all time. At #361 to be exact. Check it out along with the complete list at the official Empire website.
- A writer over at 411 Mania presents an essay on the films that make up the Askewniverse this week. In the piece, he runs down each of the movies with a capsule review, excluding Jersey Girl only due to its non-connection with the others.
- That “Zack and Miri” commercial that debuted during SNL over the weekend was spotted in the wild once again – This time, on WWE Monday Night RAW. We’re happy to see the marketing push starting this early, though it seems that it will be a general ramp-up as the release date draws closer. So, expect to see the commercial in choice locations now, and more spots in weeks to come. We’re guessing that the gang bought some airtime during the big NBC comedy premieres tomorrow night, so if you’re wisely tuning into Earl and The Office, watch for the big ad in high def! Just a guess…
