- Sadly, for no real reason, the Clerks X DVD has been delayed in Canada yet again. We’ll remind you that you COULD order a signed copy
direct from us and have had it by now…But NOOOOOOO…You had to WAIT! Anyway, the new release date in the north is October 5th. That’s all we know. - View Askew’s not the only one with new swag coming into a store near you this week — A few familiar and favorite artists of ours also
have items in the latest PREVIEWS magazine. First off, Stephen Silver’s “The Art of Silver” book
features a look into his personal sketchbook. His work has appeared in Clerks:
The Animated Series.
And then, of course, MAJOR DAMAGE , who made his big debut onscreen in Jersey
Girl, shows up in a book and special edition DVD, from Chris Bailey. Chris is a longtime contributor for View Askew, dating back past our wonderful
last logo (and of course all of his Clerks: TAS work). We’re not sure if the online Stash will get this stuff in, though we’re hopeful — Ask your favorite
local shop about them just in case.
- A Region 2 German DVD of Chasing Amy has finally been announced. It will include
both German and English language tracks. Rejoice, friends in Germany!
- There’s a small reference in the recent issue of Electronic Gaming Monthly, using J&SBSB’s Jay for the “burnout” example.
- Pridesource runs a blurb on the “Passion” today:
What does a filmmaker with a reputation for raunch do when his first family comedy tanks? He goes back to where his bread’s buttered, of course. After the
box-office failure of “Jersey Girl,” director Kevin Smith has announced a sequel to his hit 1994 debut, “Clerks.” Currently titled “The Passion of the
Clerks,” the story will reunite cast members Brian O’Halloran and Jeff Anderson as the lazy Quik Stop and RST Video employees who do nothing but hang
around, outswear each other, and verbally spar with the nominally heterosexual, but mostly closet-dwelling “life partners” Jay (Jason Mewes) and Silent
Bob (Smith). Get ready for an onslaught of Smith’s trademark gay-friendly gay jokes, and look for opening-weekend theater seats to be filled with his rabid
cult following, who’ll devour this movie like a box of Twinkies.
- The Student Union at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is showing Jersey Girl this weekend on Friday and Saturday. Friday
night at 7:00pm and Saturday Night at 9:00pm. Students are admitted free with a One Card (Student ID) and Faculty/Staff can buy tickets. We’re not sure
what the policy is on outsiders at this point. For more information, the Box Office is open from 10am – 5pm on weekdays, (919) 962-1449.
