- Daredevil one sheets (theatrical movie posters) are showing up in theatres now — You should be able to snag one from an online poster place as well, for around $15. The posters are selling fast, from what we hear, so if you’re looking for one, buy soon!

Will Jersey Girl Get Pushed Back?
- According to JoBlo.com, Revolution Studios have moved the release of a ton of their flicks around, due to some big competition at the box office this summer. The Affleck/Lopez flick “Gigli” has now been bumped back to August 1st, which might also mean a bump back for “Jersey Girl”, just because we don’t think Miramax will want to release another flick with the pair so soon in the Fall. Of course, that’s all just speculation at this point. We’ll keep ya posted.

After watching Push’s “Final Clue” on Oct. 28’s Monday Night Football, Nakamoto beat out 10,000 other callers to the show’s hotline and solved the puzzle first.

Another TV For Sale! Want It?
- Hey folks, Chris here – I’m looking to sell my TV…It’s one of those BIG 37” Sony WEGA sets, really nice, only a little over a year old. Comes with a stand as well. If you’re interested, send me an email and I can send you photos, more specs, and the like. Nothing at all wrong with it, I’ve taken perfect care of it, it’s in great shape. Just looking at going to a big projection set (this is a tube TV, just about the biggest of those you can get). The flatscreen picture is excellent, many say the best in the business. Anyway, if you’re interested, let me know!
The Latest From Kevin…
- Kevin’s been hitting the View Askew WWWBoard more frequently now that Jersey Girl has finished shooting. He’s also been answering some fairly interesting questions, too. Here’s a summary of what we recently learned:
- An “internet exclusive” trailer for Jersey Girl will likely show up in the next few months.
- Work is now going to get started on the Clerks 2-disc Special Edition DVD.
- Talks are currently going on regarding the Clerks cartoon movie.
- The release of “Jersey Girl” depends a lot on the release of “Gigli”, as they don’t want 2 Ben/Jen flicks coming out around the same time.
- Finally, you can own the ultra-rare “Mallrats” book once given by Kevin to Malcolm Ingram himself! Bid on that one HERE.

- We ran the scoop about Lucas’ View Askew mention during the new Star Wars: Attack of the Clones DVD commentary. Here’s a transcript of exactly what he says, and an audio clip as well (he mistakes Dante & Randal for Jay & Silent Bob, but at least he seems to know SOMETHING regarding the famous Clerks scene):
“We had this sequence and because we added it… err, I came up with the idea of adding a little schematic of the Death Star in here because the Geonosians build robots and build things; They’re a sort of construction workers. They would be the ones that probably contracted to build the Death Star and… err, they were the ones that Jay and Silent Bob worried that they got killed on the Death Star but they are after all just a bunch of large termites.”
- ABCnews.com has confirmed the Affleck/Lopez engagement:
The pair met last December while filming the upcoming gangster movie Gigli, which they co-star in. Their romance became public this summer when they were photographed kissing in public on numerous occasions. During an interview with Primetime’s Diane Sawyer, airing on Wednesday night, Lopez was at first coy on the marriage question, laughing and saying only that, “We’re very, um, secure with our relationship.”
But a few minutes later, during a break to change tape, Lopez thought a minute, called Affleck, and then said they had decided to go on the record.
Sawyer then asked, “Are you engaged?” and Lopez replied, “Yes.”
People Magazine ran a detailed story on this as well.

Jersey Girl Shooting Finishes!
- Kevin confirmed that Jersey Girl celebrated their last day of shooting yesterday, finishing things up in New York City with Affleck and Lopez. They did just add one more day of shooting in Los Angeles this January, but the main schedule has now been completed.
