- Scooper “Billy†was lucky enough to attend a screening of the great “Hot Fuzz†in Lincoln Center earlier this week, only to be surprised to spot Kevin Smith himself a few seats away. Kev ended up doing the Q&A with Edgar Wright, Nick Frost, and Simon Pegg. Everyone even stick around afterwards for a little while to sign stuff and take pics (some of which you see here). Certainly was a great night to be in NYC!
- Kevin’s quoted in this article discussing the Weinstein’s battle to re-establish themselves as a new company:
The film, set for release this year, was taken over by Bill Lawrence, the writer and producer of the “Scrubs†television series.
Mr. Smith, whose “Clerks II†became one of the Weinstein success stories when it took in about $24 million at the domestic box office last year, said he expected to work with the brothers on a pair of coming films.
“It really feels like the long, sharp knives are coming out,†Mr. Smith said, speaking on Wednesday of the shock that accompanied the failure of “Grindhouse.†“Everybody’s entitled to an off year.â€
Let us just take the opportunity to URGE you all to see “Grindhouse†if you’ve missed it — Just a one-of-a-kind experience in theaters that you’ll likely never get the chance see again. GO GO GO!
- Seems that Cotton and Sand website likes to mention View Askew quite a bit in their lists of 10 — Salma Hayek hits the list of 10 best A-List actress as strippers for her “Dogma†stripper scene (as well as that memorable “From Dusk ‘Til Dawn†one too. You’ll also find a couple of familiar faces on this list of the Top 10 Greatest Film Potheads. Clips of everything are included in their lists, which we think is a nifty touch.
- And finally today, we asked, and received REALLY fast — Here’s a shot of that Jay & Bob cartoon that appears at the Sea World caricature booth. Thanks to Ryan! ‘Til next time…
