“Cop Out” DVD/Bluray: July 20th, 2010!

  • DVD Active reveals covert art and two editions for “Cop Out”, arriving for home consumption this summer. The DVD editions looks to be a standard edition of the film with some deleted scenes. The Bluray, which is being called the “Rock Out with your Glock Out Edition”, will feature a “Maximum Comedy Mode” where Kevin Smith and Seann William Scott will walk in throughout the film with comments and skits. Additional features on the Blu include something called “Focus Points” and “Wisdom from the Shit Bandit”.

    If the deleted scenes include some of the absolutely hilarious stuff that Kevin was doing with Seann and Tracy on the last day of shooting we had the pleasure of watching in Brooklyn, you’re in for a major treat — Tons of off the cuff dialogue that was fed from Kevin to these guys via the headset is some of the funniest stuff that ended up on the cutting room floor.

    More details will come as the date draws closer, but for now, feast your eyes on the cover art, and mark your calendar for another packed home movie release from Kevin, who never disappoints when it comes to getting your money’s worth out of one of his theatrical efforts in your home collection.

  • Please do the great Ming Chen a HUGE solid and vote, as many times as you, your family, and friends can, for LOGO #7 (lucky 7!) in the Lowell Spinners logo contest. It’s SIMPLE and only takes you a few seconds to do so. Without Ming, none of this greatness you see on the web from View Askew to SModcast would be possible. And to top it all off, the dude’s a majorly talented graphic artist and his logo, frankly, IS the best of that crop anyway. So get on over there, vote #7, and let’s see a big win for Ming this year!
  • Kevin dropped a few more tidbits on the mecca, SModcastle, coming to the L.A. area later this summer, via Twitter this week:

      Via @TheJesseAguilar “any chance open mic/amateur stand-up and sketches at SModcastle?” Oh yes. Lots. We’re putting together programs now…

      Kevin Smith’s Glory Hole will be me sitting down, SMod-style, for interviews with a surprise guest: random, well-known fuckers every week.

      Via @planethooligan “recording Smodcastle events” SModcastle will be wired like I’m Nixon in Paisley Park. #EverySingleShowWillBeRecorded

    Here’s hoping for a speedy birth for SModcastle – The place sounds cooler and cooler with each passing day.

  • Hopefully you caught one of the best episodes of Saturday Night Live in quite some time when Betty White hosted last weekend — Well, a fan has taken the famous Facebook campaign that got SNL’s attention, and given it a Kevin slant — After all, don’t you all agree that Kevin would be absolutely HILARIOUS hosting an episode of SNL? Seriously. We think between his drive to succeed, his comedic timing, and even some of the writing skills he could offer up, it would be one of the best episodes of all time. Got a Facebook account and wanna show your support? Simply join this group , “We Want Kevin Smith to Host SNL”, and pass the word along via Twitter, Facebook, and the like. This would ROCK.
  • We’d like to thank Eric & Marilyn at Retro Radio for the very kind shout out in their recent video ad for the broadcast. This brand new podcast is just picking up steam, and can be accessed LIVE (as well as archived) at the official Podomatic site of the program.
  • Want to be a part of an interesting research project? A poster at the View Askew WWWboard is a PhD Researcher looking into the culture of Kevin Smith. Check out his post which delivers further details on his study. To be a part of it, fill out his preliminary questionnaire which will only take around 15 minutes of your time. In addition to this study, he’s also hoping to do some sort of presentation in Red Bank this August to coincide with Kevin’s appearance there. The entire idea is to show what a unique, vibrant fan community that Kevin has acquired over the years. Cool stuff. Be a part of it!
