  • Major congrats extended to View Askew web board namesakes “Craig and UV”, who first got engaged at the end of the not-yet-on-DVD Chasing Amy reuinion Q&A at least year’s LA Vulgarthon, and now tied the knot officially on Friday in the park famous for “Chasing Amy’s” swings. Check out a couple photos above and take note at some of their special guests! We’d like to personally congratulate you both, and wish you a lifetime of happiness together.
  • The LA Times names “Chasing Amy” #3 in their article on “Great Movie Breakups” :
3. “Chasing Amy” (1997)

A pre-Hollywood-makeover Ben Affleck stars as a New Jersey-based comic book creator who falls for a woman, played by Joey Lauren Adams, who happens to be gay. Some complained that an avowed lesbian choosing to date a straight man was the unenlightened fantasy of writer-director Kevin Smith. But they could take solace in the fact that the relationship does not outlast the film’s running time. No dishes get broken, and there’s only one screaming match.

Jay & Silent Bob show up in a panel of web comic “Sore Thumbs”. Peep it HERE.

  • And of course, don’t forget to keep checking back with our Vulgarthon 2006 page, as we continue to add your stories, photos, and our own coverage as we catch up or just remember stuff we forgot during the excitement. We’ve just added a pic of Brian O’Halloran with a very special guest on day two. Catch ya next time!

Dante and Veronica, together again!

  • A very special guest made it into town for day two of Vulgarthon, a friend of ours who we’re very sorry to have missed – Marilyn Ghigliotti! Here’s a photo of the mini-Clerks reunion that took place in Red Bank last week. Dante and Veronica, together again!

Vulgarthon: Thanks & Continuing Coverage…

June 2nd @ 8:41 am | No Comments » | Scooped by Brad & Chris

  • With the biggest event in View Askew history now in the books, we look back on a fantastic time, the great people we met, and the event itself, brilliantly organized and orchestrated by Ming Chen. For those of you there: Thanks so much for making this a total blast. By far, the best fans in the world are View Askew fans, and you’re all class acts. Special thanks also to all the celeb guests who we had the chance to spend some time with: Kevin Smith, Jason Mewes, Brian O’Halloran, Malcolm Ingram, Mattt Potter, Jen Schwalbach, and Susannah Grant. One of the most magical things about the Red Bank Vulgarthons is the amazing accessibility to everyone, and the interactions between fans and creators. With a two day event, this was probably the most laid-back, easygoing crowd we’ve ever seen. Many folks stayed for both days, allowing them time to see films they want to see once, twice, or not at all — So the action outside the theaters was just as exciting as what was going on inside.

As we roll into the weekend, keep an eye on our Vulgarthon 2006 page for updated coverage and photos from us. Also, as news, tales, and photos from all of YOU come in, we’ll be supplementing our coverage with that as well. Thanks again to everyone involved for making Vulgarthon 2006 our best event yet.
