  • The new film “F*CK” will make its World Premiere at AFI Fest 2005 on Monday, November 7th, at 7:00 PM. At the Arclight in LA, where else?

The film about the origins, usage and political environment surrounding the most taboo word in our culture. Kevin, being a known user of the word in its many forms and styles, appears in interviews throughout the picture. Full details HERE. Premiere night tix will cost you $11, or see at again on the 9th at 4:00 PM for a mere $7.00.

AFI Fest 2005 runs November 3rd – 13th, 2005. For comprehensive ticket and scheduling information, visit afi.com.

  • We’re so happy this day has finally come — Jason Lee is confirmed to host Saturday Night Live with musical guests Foo Fighters on November 12th. That’s just a week from this Saturday! Will View Askew somehow get moved into the lampooned sketch arena? We’ll know in just 9 days.
  • The hilarious Onion’s AV club cites the cancellation of “My Name Is Earl” as one of the worst things in the world that can happen in this graph.

  • More from the Onion’s AV Club today. George Carlin basically saying he doesn’t dig doing movies EXCEPT for Kevin. Way cool:
“All that came to fruition after With Six You Get Eggroll. In fact, I found out after With Six You Get Eggroll that I couldn’t act in movies. That was also critical. I found out I can’t do this shit. Man, they want you to change a little bit here, get out of Doris Day’s light, don’t lean in too far, lean back, you’re off-mike, you’re out of the light, you can’t do this, stand there, keep your legs crossed, remember this, say it with a little bit of sadness… Fuck all that!

The trouble is that it’s a collaborative art, and I was more of a soloist. So there was a clash there, too, that I hadn’t ever thought of. I’ve done a few movies since, and it’s not the most comfortable thing for me, but I like Kevin Smith, so I’ve done a couple of his films. And I still have that Hollywood dream going. It’s a hard flame to put out, even after you’ve had all your rebellious period played out in public. “Gee, if just the right part came along!”

And we all know what part that is, don’t we? Read the full scoop HERE.

  • And in other “Earl” news, this time for the UK folks. Great news indeed. Channel 4 will begin showing My Name Is Earl this winter. No start date has yet been revealed.
  • This Toronto Star article on Zach Braff quotes him as showing a lot less interest in the Fletch project now that Kevin’s not involved:
Reports he will appear in a remake of the Chevy Chase classic Fletch are “just Internet rumours,” Braff says. “I met Kevin Smith when he was going to do it. Harvey Weinstein was going to do the next Fletch book which is called Fletch Won.

“But Kevin’s no longer doing it … so the script would have to be amazing for me to be interested.”

  • Here’s a new twist on the Halloween View Askew theme. Not costumes, but rather, PUMPKINS carved in the likeness of several of the inaction figures. Can you guess who’s who? Gotta say we’re kinda digging the William…
  • And finally today, on an unrelated but fun note, you may have already seen this on the new Episode III DVD, but you gotta give mad props to Yoda for this one. Later!
