- First of all, just allow us to say, it’s Friday night, and we’re still updating. Thank you, thank you very much. On with the show…

Kevin’s Coming To Rutgers!
For those of you in the area, Kevin will be appearing this Wednesday, September 24th, 8:00 PM, at the Rutgers University CAMDEN CAMPUS. The entire appearance will be FREE, and will include a lecture from the man himself as well as a screening of Chasing Amy, so, if you’re close enough to make it and you’re not going, shame on you! You can find out all about the appearance right from the college at this site. This should be a really good time. We’re over three hours away, but still tempted to make the drive in just for the evening. Anyone wanna put us up?
Special thanks go out to Jim, HolyToads, and anyone else we may have missed that posted about this on the WWWBoard.
Silent Jay & Bob On Stern…Our Thoughts
- No, the news story title isn’t a typo, it’s a statement. Well, we hope you heard Kevin and Jay’s very short interview on Stern today…The show gets crazy and confusing at times, but between having gossip columnist A.J. Benza, 3 ditzy actress hopefuls, and a phone call from Ed McMahon, Kev really didn’t get the chance to say much. Neither did Jay (except for the obligatory “Noich, Noich, Noich” Speech, which one of the actresses tried to imitate in a horrendous-sounding scene), but of course we think he prefers staying fairly silent anyway (Hence our story title). Anyway, Kev DID manage to work in a plug for the Stash through all the mess and get in some good comments, but most were (pardon us) askewed by the other goings-on in the studio. It was cool hearing the guys on the show, though. We just hope next time (perhaps at Dogma’s release?) they can come back for a “real” interview.
Stern Show Clip Available Online!
- For those of you who missed the Stern interview with Kevin and Jay this morning, fear not! The entire interview (around 25 minutes) has been placed online in RealAudio format for your convenience. Visit Ming’s Page here or just use our direct link to the feed:

Superman Script Lives!
- We thought it would be a bad idea to post online links to Kevin’s Superman Lives Script, but we’ve had quite a few requests from folks who have it online and just don’t care if it gets shut down, so here’s what we’re going to do. In our “Links Askew” section we have a link that will (hopefully) take you to one of the online versions of the script. Warner Brothers scouts pleasenote, we DO NOT have a copy of this script locally on our page, so don’t hassle us! We also realize that by having this link, we may jeopardize the scripts and make them easier to find, so if they continue to disappear too quickly, this link will disappear from the page to preserve the longevity of the scripts online. Enjoy it.
Affleck Bets On ‘Jack’
- Ben Affleck has signed to write and star in “Balling the Jack,” a comedy about a New York paralegal who escapes his dreary life through gambling. When one high-stakes bet goes awry, his career, girlfriend and life are seriously threatened. The title refers to gambling parlance for laying everything on the betting line. The project, based on Frank Baldwin’s novel, is on the fast track at New Line Cinema.
Kev In Spin (The Sequel)…
- A day or two ago we mentioned that there’s a very small Kevin Smith blurb in Spin Magazine. Turns out it’s just a frame from a comic strip. Here’s the infamous comic panel from SPIN’s trip to Comic-Con 97. Thanks to Neil for the heads up! Sorry if it’s a little blurry, but we wanted to keep the size down due to our quickly diminishing drive space.
Jay & Bob Windows Logos!
- The quest of entirely assimilating Windows 95 into a View Askew machine continues! Here’s a new file from Davebo. It can be used as a replacement for your startup screen in Win95 (The one with the clouds, the logo, and the animated color bar at the bottom)? Well, this replaces that pic with the always entertaining Jay & Silent Bob, who Davebo says “Are far more entertaining to watch than anything Bill Gates ever created.”
Superman Is DEAD!
- For those of you wondering why you can no longer find the Supes script online at the spot we mentioned earlier, check out this mail that Jason Charnick received from our friends at Warner Brothers. Don’t say we didn’t warn ya to grab it right away! Jason says:
Just received this kind little e-mail from Mr. Wilson, Esq. I wonder where they got my home address from, as I haven’t lived there in over a year! Duh! Keep Superman alive, kiddies…
