The set is currently down for an April 5th 2004, release. This has not been officially confirmed but a very good possibility. We expect the disc will be the same as the Region 1 version, but, of course, playable on your UK Region 2 players. Thanks to UKAskew!
- The Anecdotaage website summarizes funny stories told by famous people from history. Kevin’s got a few of his summarized there, mostly from the “Evening With†disc…But you may wanna surf over and check them or the site out, anyway.
- Affleck was interviewed on BBC Radio 5Live to promote “Paycheckâ€, though the interviewer was obviously a fan of Ben’s View Askew work. The full interview can be heard right HERE.
- Want more Affleck? Sure ya do! Check out this clipping from an interview he did with Ocean Drive Magazine:
Q: Aren’t we going to see you two together in another film this year?
A: We have JERSEY GIRL coming up, which is probably my favorite film I’ve ever done. It’s an exquisite, beautiful movie. Kevin Smith really just killed. He took a risk and really went out there. Unlike movies where you take a risl and it doesn’t work, like GIGLI — where you end up taking a big swing and miss and look bad — this one is a long drive to centerfield. It’s really. wonderful. I’m proud of Kevin for making it. So, careerwise, things are going to be pretty good. I’ve learned to really, really separate myself from the press in the sense that I don’t feel anything personally. Most people understand the tabloids are basically fiction and I don’t pay too much attention to it. It has helped me not to get too fixated on having a direct connection between my self-esteem and my career. So if a film doesn’t make it, I can still be okay. And I am okay.

- Comics Continuum has a preview of Brian Lynch’s Spidey book, which hits shelves tomorrow. Check out the cover here, and read reviews from The Fourth Rail HERE. Lynch’s is the second story in the book. Here’s a sampling:
Lynch’s script is a nice satire of the super-villain dynamic, and of the modern trend of making the rather goofy antagonists of yesteryear into darker, more menacing figures of the 21st century. On the surface, though, the script offers up more of Spidey mocking his enemy. While it’s a little too familiar on the one hand, it’s also quite true to the character at the same time.
- A web comic called Theater Hopper is offering a sketch of two of the main characters done up like Brodie and Willam as an incentive for voting for their comic on buzzComix. Surf on over and have yourself a look!
- Check out a new Jason Lee interview at SBC Skateboard online. It’s mostly about skating stuff, but there’s a few bits about his upcoming movie projects and plans as well.
