  • Here’s a fun couple pics today — A member of our News Askew Forums, known affectionately as the “NAF” amongst our members, sent in these snaps. XHippie, from New Hampshire, was so excited about his visit to the Leonardo Quick Stop that he talked the clerk inside into letting him hang that banner. Nope, it’s NOT a Photoshop job, that’s real! Well played.
  • You can now visit the OFFICIAL SITE for “Catch and Release”, Kevin’s first starring role in a non-View Askew production. Nothing there but a splash page and his scene-stealing preview, though we expect more will come as April 28th closes in.
  • The very brief Clerks 2 teaser that appeared at the Clerks 2 site made #87 on the list of the top 100 trailers this year at JoBLo.
  • The lovely Eliza Dushku, more affectionately known to some from her J&SBSB days as “Duckshoot” is going to Broadway. New York Magazine reports she’ll appear in the play “Dog Sees GOD”, which is a parody of Charles Schultz’s “Peanuts”, with Dushku playing a character based on Lucy:
Dog Sees God: Confessions of a Teenage Blockhead

Q: Do you have any fond memories of “Peanuts”? You play a character based on Lucy.

Eliza: She was probably my favorite ­ I can draw a few parallels in my own personality. Lucy’s a little bit of a troublemaker, so I think it’s really appropriate to have her institutionalized for pyromania.

You can catch the play at The Century Center for the Performing Arts.

  • And finally today, the Clerks cartoon this week yet again proved just how ahead of the curve it was with the funny. Arrested Development, one of the funniest shows on TV right now, totally stole our “Judge Reinhold” as a judge gig for this week’s episode. Here’s hoping the show can find new life on another network. It’s just too clever to go out like this.
