- The immortal Randal Graves shows up in Empire’s list of the “100 Greatest Movie Characters” :
“This job would be great if it wasn’t for the fucking customers.”Randal Graves
Played By: Jeff Anderson
Film: Clerks
Why He’s On The List: Randal is the voice of countless generations – anyone who’s had a shitty customer service job in their early twenties will understand his attitude, wishing they could have articulated their frustration with his artful profanity and supreme disregard for, well, anything. But the key to Randal is that he doesn’t necessarily hate his job, it’s just that he remembers not to care.
Finest Hour: Randal ignores a customer and her small child while he phone-orders a long list of sordidly titled porn films from a distributor. When he reaches the end of the lengthy spiel, he dismissively asks “Oh, and what was the one you wanted again?”
- More crazy IMDB rumor mill – We would call the probability of this about 10 percent, but IMDB (often unreliable) now lists Kevin as joining Jason Mewes in the cast for the hot-chicks-as-guys prison drama “K-11”. Mewes was mentioned on board via MTV News recently, so we beleive that one, though Kevin’s involvement has not been confirmed by any reliable source.
- Watch for new Askewer Craig Robinson among the star-studded cast of Funny or Die’s 3-minute “Prop 8: The Musical”, new to the site this week. Another reason to watch – Mark Shaiman, who co-wrote the hilarous “South Park” musical feature film, worked on this one as well.
- Mewes in the news – Some digging confirmed that filming on “Silent But Deadly” ended in Canada a couple of months ago. This article from Chatham Daily News reveals some insight on the film’s financing and distribution hopes. Sounds like we’ll be seeing the movie, in which Mewes plays a silent killer, sometime in 2009.
- And last, but certainly not least, we’ll make it a double shot of Mewes news – His vampire comedy “Netherbeast, Incorporated” now has an official DVD release date – January 6, 2009, less than a month away! Box art and a press release here:
“Shaun of the Dead” fans rejoice! Finally another brilliant horror comedy to win over your undead hearts. The Ronalds Brothers NETHERBEAST INCORPORATED is an offbeat hilarious comedy with a quirky twist on the vampire tale set in modern day corporate America. Employees of Berm-Tech Industries, Inc. have kept the family secret for a long time. For years it has been business as usual, until the top vampire in charge (Darrell Hammond Saturday Night Live) contracts a dreaded disease, becomes senile forgetting that he s a vampire and starts killing off other vampire colleagues. A human efficiency expert (Judd Nelson Breakfast Club) and “Dead Mike’s” replacement (Amy Davidson TV s 8 Simple Rules) are invited to work at Berm-Tech but soon they discover that some of their associates (Dave Foley TV s Kids in the Hall, Newsradio, Jason Mewes Clerks 1 & 2, Zack and Miri Make a Porno and Steve Burns TV s Blue s Clues) are not what they appear to be.
This is one of those flicks that we didn’t have a chance to see in this part of the country, so we’re looking forward to catching the DVD. Stay tuned as we’re hoping to have some copies to award to lucky News Askew fans, as well. Enjoy the weekend, folks, we’ll see ya back here soon.
