Hot jewel thieves pretending to be animal rights activists? Who may or may not be lesbians? Yes, please.

3. Clerks 2


How could I not include a film that caused a well-known critic to storm out in mid-screening because of possible interspecies erotica? A film that includes a character trying to “take back” a certain racial slur? During a plane ride last week, I decided to forego the in-flight movie selection (Juno) in favor of this movie … for some inexplicable reason the Kevin Smith DVD was in my laptop bag. When the flight attendant interrupted me and I paused the movie, it froze on a screenshot of Randal with that slur visible on the back of his Mooby’s shirt. I realized that the image would be terrific to post as the photo at the top of this list, but unfortunately it proves my point a little too well.

The second video presentation was on “Zack & Miri Make A Porno,” and kicked off with Kevin Smith explaining that along the lines of “Clerks 2,” he will again be presenting a series of “webisodes” featuring a behind-the-scenes look at his last film, featuring the cast and called “Money Shots.”


A quick example was next shown, featuring Seth Rogen along with fellow cast members Craig Robinson and Jason Mewes as they talked about the fake semen used in the film. Ricky Mabe then enters the scene and begins to spread the substance across his face, much to the horror and/or delight of the others.


It was announced that the first installment of “Money Shots” will premiere on Quick Stop Entertainment on May 15.

We’ll of course drop you a reminder for the appearance of these highly anticipated shorts from Chop Shop Entertainment and View Askew. We can’t wait.

What can I say? The better team won.


But it was close in those last two games. Indeed, in Game Five, the Devils came back from a 4-1 deficit to almost tie it up in the third. But when all’s said and done, there can only be one winner, and this year (well, this round, really), it’s the Rangers. Congrats to the Blueshirts; you’ve got a helluva goalie and some great young guns.


Devils’ Legionnaires, I implore you to take those guns out of your mouths and let these positives from the 07-08 season warm your heart ‘til the fall.


…


We won’t be holding a Cup aloft this year, but that’s okay; let someone else have a turn. Four Cups in thirteen years might’ve been a little too greedy.


In the interest of saving Rangers’ fans some time so they can psychologically prepare for either the Pens or the Flyers, I will provide the standard negative response to any reminder of the Devils’ Cups collection.

While we can’t be certain if Kevin will continue on with his team out, might we suggest taking on the surging Philadelphia Flyers, who just pulled a HUGE overtime win in Washington DC last night to move onto the next round? GO FLYERS!

The cost of obtaining soundtrack rights outweighed the entire production costs for this 1994 film.

Pretty cool, no? We’re wondering if there will ever be another successful flick made as cheaply. While “Red State” will certainly easily exceed the “Clerks” and “Chasing Amy” indie budgets, we’re curious to see what happens with that project, especially if Kev and Scott decide to independently fund it.

SModcast 47: Destroy All Monsters –


In which our heroes are visited by a special guest, discuss disturbing defecation, inadvertently brag about the size of a shower, puzzle over plumbing, and muse (or Mewes) about a movie that might’ve been.

Episode 47 is available for immediate MP3 download exclusively over at Quick Stop Entertainment — Go grab your copy right now and make your Monday brighter. Thanks as always to the guys for taking time out of their schedules to give us some laughs on these dreary, back to work Mondays. Only a few weeks until the show turns 50! Wonder if the guys have any special plans for the big milestone…

The panel started with a folksong version of “Baby Got Back”.


Announced the “Masters of SONG FU” music contest. Head to head contest. First challenge: 30-60 second sitcom theme song of your life. Entries open May 1 and close May 15th.


Short trailer for Bob and Doug McKenzies new animated show — Will air January 2009.


Showed the intro to the “Zack & Miri Make A Porno” webisodes titled ‘Money Shots’. No date other than “some point in the future” given for their web premiere.

So, when we heard that the Basie was being closed for renovations from July to October, we were first bummed, but then excited. While this would mean Kevin wouldn’t have a chance to hit this great spot over the summer, we were hopeful to see what would come after the place re-opened.

So, here’s the good news – Kevin will be appearing at the Count Basie LIVE, one night only — Friday, November 7th, at 7:00 PM. This being a Friday night, it’s going to be a BIG show, considering it kicks off the weekend. Also, it’s likely to sell out fast. For this one, it’s not a question of IF it will sell out, but WHEN, and how quickly.

TICKETS ARE NOW ON SALE! BUY THEM NOW BEFORE THEY SELL OUT!

Prices range from $25 for the balcony all the way up to $75 for those nifty front of theater seats.

The show is scheduled for just one week after the current planned release date for “Zack And Miri Make a Porno”, so it’s likely that Kevin will have a lot to say about the film — And will hopefully be celebrating from a big week of box office grosses!

We’re not going to miss this one and neither should you. Buy your tickets TODAY and be among the first to see the beatifully restored interior of the Count Basie Theater in Red Bank. You don’t wanna miss a Smith in Red Bank show! See ya there. And please, buy today. You don’t want these tix to go extinct on ya.

So since we’re down to 1:45, I’m not really hunting for cuts anymore. That means the proposed board screening akin to the pair we had for “Clerks II” won’t be happening.

Instead, we’re heading straight into the actual test screening process. Mid-May, we’ll be taking “Zack and Miri” to a midwest movie-plex and test driving her for the masses.

I feel pretty good about our chances. Everyone who’s seen it thus far (roughly 50 to 60 people now) have been way into it. Now’s as good a time as any to start the next leg of the journey: locking picture. If the test screening goes well, and if our MPAA screening at month’s end doesn’t throw us back into the editing room, we’ll use June and July to tie everything up – which would mean we’d be done and ready for a possible trip to the Toronto Film Festival before our 10/31 theatrical release.

I’ve got the internet teasers cut and ready to go (look for 4/28 bow for the first one, end of May for the second) and I just finished a cut of the theatrical trailer as well.

I think all of you are gonna dig the flick.

We remain impressed at the different approach Kevin is taking with film marketing as far as the web goes. Spoilers and plot details on the movie have been kept to a bare minimum, and we STILL have yet to see any live footage from the finished product. That will all change at the end of this month, of course, when the first internet trailer arrives online, though we’re betting that Kevin will still keep his comments to a minimum. If you’re looking for plot, you’ll want to join us all in cinemas this October. Here’s crossing our fingers for the most successful View Askew Production ever this fall.
