Well hello there! Thanks for stopping in today. Well, we’ve actually got some cool stuff to talk about today! How ’bout that? There’s the whole takeoff of the eJay site (and more news on that), a post from Kev, new multimedia surrounding the Clerks cartoon online, and lots more. So, all in all, you couldn’t have picked a better time to stop by News Askew today.

The weekend movie was “Road Trip”…We couldn’t resist checking it out after reading a lot of positive stuff about it. Well, as a whole, the movie’s a letdown. Watch “American Pie” at home again before seeing this one, especially if you’ve seen the extended trailer which basically gives up every funny joke in the flick. Sure, there’s a few funny moments, but as a whole the entire thing just sorta falls flat and feels awfully forced. Good performances, just not that good of a movie. Of course, it’d be worth sitting through it 100 more times rather than “Battlefield Earth” again. Next week comes the highly anticipated “Mission Impossible II”. Gotta love John Woo. Question is, will it be more impressive than “Gladiator”?

Well it looks like ‘ol Fox Mulder will be back for another (half) season of the X-Files next year, but we’re willing to gather that’ll be just about it. The show’s had a good run but it’s time for something new, that’s for sure. Hopefully the networks can come up with some decent shows since it seems like the really good stuff is starting to show up on HBO before anywhere else. Sure, there’s a few exceptions, but for the most part, not a ton of spectacular TV going on right now.

Alright, well, it’s raining here in Central PA today, so it’s the perfect time to catch up on everything Askew. Next weekend we’ll both be out of town, myself and the usual gang will be heading down to the beaches & bars of Ocean City, MD to kick it old school and teach that town a lesson for Memorial Day, and Chris is gonna be vacationing that same weekend as well. So there’s gonna be a few day dry spell here on the horizon. We’ll remind you again before things close up for the weekend, and will do our best to keep everything current right up ’til then.

Okay, on with the show!
