  • Rolling stone ran a Best and Worst Bonus Features article for this years DVD’s. Clerks: The Lost scene hits the “Best” column with this writeup:
BEST Clerks: The Animated Funeral

For the tenth-anniversary edition of Clerks, Kevin Smith took a funeral scene he couldn’t afford to shoot in 1993 and had it animated. The nine-minute result, in which the heroes retrieve their car keys from the panties of a attractive corpse, is laugh-till-you-cry-funny.

  • Sprint Wireless has a lot of downloadable ringtones from “The Incredibles”, with different characters telling you to answer your phone. The best one is Jason Lee, as Syndrome, saying something to the effect of: “It’s fer youuu, and I’m not going to keep doing this for you, Syndrome is nobody’s sidekick!” Sounds like a possible Mallrats reference to us! And it’s gotta be funny to hear Lee telling you to answer your phone.
  • Kevin made a surprise appearance today on 102.1 The Edge radio in Toronto this morning. If anyone has the appearance recorded or a summary, let us know. We’re sure he was in there to talk Degrassi, but who knows what else he dropped?
  • A spelling-corrected version of that Hosties cereal box is now available. We tossed a copy over in Files Askew (in PDF format) for your downloading ease. Use that one if you plan to tackle the task, and see the link in yesterday’s post on folding instructions.
  • The great composer Jim Venable will perform at The Apple Store in Los Angeles’ Grove on Thursday, November 18th. We know he’d love to meet any View Askew fans who dig his work from the films.
In Store performance at The Apple Store where James L. Venable will discuss his job as a composer and Apple Computers role in his work. He will discuss how he uses Apple hardware and Logic software as an artist and will give a multi-media music presentation (utilizing two Apple Titanium laptops) with audio and video.

Visit Jim’s site for details, merchandise, and info!
