View Askew NewsBites™

Seth Rogen and Kevin Smith are featured today in the popular Myspace offering “Artist on Artist”, where two folks in the biz sit down and chat about each other’s work. Cool stuff, and a nice fun 6 minutes to spend with the guys. Watch ’em talk up the movie, losing weight, dating, and more in this recent conversation.

As a bonus, visit the front page of Kevin’s MySpace site for a new Myspace-exclusive video of his mythical home-based editing suite! One of our favorite videos of recent memory, as we have such fond memories of catching bits of previous films as he was putting them together.

Movie Marketing Madness puts the microscope over the marketing campaign for “Zack & Miri Make a Porno” with an extremely detailed, thorough look at heaps of stories and videos that led to the film’s eventual theatrical release on Friday — Thanks to the guys for the shout-out at the end to us as a big source of the material they used to build up the story. It’s cool to look back and see the evolution of the promotional events for this one online, especially considering we found the ad campaign to be quite different from previous View Askew offerings, especially as far as the web was concerned.

In his recent blog, Kevin presented this quite creative, eye-catching fan made poster for “Zack and Miri Make a Porno” that we just had to run here as well for the archives. As he urges in his post, get on out there and see the flick, for the first time or see it again! There’s nothing like the experience of enjoying Kevin’s films with a live audience, and now is your chance. See you in the theater!

Those of you following the lovely Elizabeth Banks around the country may be interested in this premiere footage from her other recent theatrical offering “W”, now opening in the U.K. Catching up on more Banks in the e-mail bag backlog, USA Today also ran a piece centered on the actress recently.
