- A scooper chatted with Jay at Dragoncon last week. He was charging $10 for a signed pic and $5 for any other autographs. We heard he was very good to the fans and fun to talk with, though he did take an obligatory smoke break about every half hour!
- Online music site NightRaven Radio has a new radio show callled Music Askew on Friday Nights @ 10PM EST, playing not only music and clips from Kev’s flicks, but also music related to like Michael Ferrentino (doing the music for the upcoming Better Place). They also read regular tidbits from News Askew and more.
- Men’s Health has an article called “Men We Admire Mostâ€, and Kevin makes the list under the “Authors and Media Figures†category. You can place your votes for your fave at their web site.
- Upcomingmovies.com, always up-to-date with the latest, have posted pages for the upcoming Fletch Won and View Askew 5 flicks. Coincidentally, we can think of another site that should have some pages for these flicks soon…
- Ben Affleck’s film ‘Reindeer Games’ has just been released in UK cinemas as ‘Deception’ (Rated 15). It would appear that the UK distributors decided at the last minute that ‘Reindeer Games’ wouldn’t sell in July as it sounds to Christmas-like.
- The DVD Festival in Las Vegas (July 8-10) has selected Mallrats among the “Best DVD Commentary†nominees for the VSDA Convention. Also, Chasing Amy debuted at #13 for Top DVD sellers. Not bad at all!
- Clerks will air on the Independent Film Channel tonight, check your local listings for air times!
- Sounds like Vulgar was seen by a few more lucky folks…Here’s a report just in from the Toronto Film Festival:
I got a friend who books films for the Toronto Film Festival and I guess Vulgar was submitted to them because my friend saw it. He said that he can’t see any distributor picking it up because it was too offensive but he said it was also witty and very funny. A couple of other programmers watched and also liked it a lot. So if everything goes well it should be playing the Toronto Film Festival.
- Finally today, congrats to News Askew reader Rob Miller, whose Jay & Silent Bob animation won for “Best Adaptation†at the Pixelfest website. Congrats!!!
