• Zee’s back with a summary of the Kevin & View Askew stuff you’ll find in this month’s new issue of Wizard. And yet again, there’s a ton:

• Wondering about that Dogma book in Previews? So are we. Kevin hasn’t mentioned anything about it happening, so we doubt we’ll see anything but the script book, which is fine — Plus, if ya look REALLY closely at the pic in Previews – The book says “A Screenplay by Kevin Smith”. So this could just be an error. We’ll keep ya posted.
• Believe it or not, Malcolm Ingram‘s new flick “Tail Lights Fade” has been released in Australia…ON VIDEO! How odd! The film has yet to be released theatrically anywhere, and we hear Malcolm’s fairly surprised as well. It was spotted at the chain “Video Ezy” down under about three weeks ago. Still no word on TLF’s release elsewhere in the world. And no, you STILL can’t see “Drawing Flies” anywhere!

• Well, it’s just been about the busiest week since this site started, not a good combination with moving! We’re averaging about 100 e-mails a day now, so bear with us if responses come slow, it’s been almost a full-time job just keeping up with e-mails, let alone writing updates and such.

Today we FINALLY got Dogma Rumor Control all caught up with the latest — So that means you can surf over for the most recent reviews, articles, and newsbites. Most of the news was reported here on this page, so we’ve just lifted it from there.and moved it along. You’ll still probably want to check it out just to make sure you didn’t miss anything, though.

There’s also an AMAZING amount of pre-release Dogma screenings going on around the country, so read below for your chance to see the movie before it’s out. If there’s a way, we’ll let you know about it here. Reading News Askew should definitely increase your chances of seeing the flick before the 12th.

Okay, let’s start getting through these heaps of news stories:

• Radio stations, web sites, and colleges all around the country have all caught Dogma fever. There are TONS of free or almost free screenings happening in the next couple of weeks, giving YOU the chance to catch Dogma on the big screen before the rest of the country takes a look. If you read the past couple days’ news, you’ll see we’ve already mentioned a couple, now here’s a rundown of a bunch more that we’ve just recently learned of:

• There will be a screening of Dogma on Friday the 29th at Loew’s Cineplex City Place in Dallas. We’ve got no idea if this is the same Dallas screening we reported on yesterday, but rumor has it that tickets are circulating through critics and press type folks. Hopefully there may be some extra seats for fans at the show if people just show up, but it sounds like this one may be a closed screening. CHANCE OF ENTRY: LOW
• Dogma will be screened at Michigan State University on Wednesday, November 3rd at 8 PM. Tickets can be obtained this Friday night at 6:30 in Wells Hall. They are free for dorm residents, and $2 for students with ID (Rumor has it that they may also be made available to the general public for $5). Our scooper on this one will also be reviewing the movie the next morning on his radio show sometime between 8-10 AM. You can listen online here: http://wdbm.msu.edu/Listen.html. CHANCE OF ENTRY: MID/HIGH
• A Dartmouth College student tells us that there will be “sneak preview” of Dogma on campus the evening of November the 5th. No further details are available at this time.CHANCE OF ENTRY: ????
• The University of Maryland at College Park will be showing a sneak of Dogma next Thursday, November 4 at 7:30. Leading up to it, the rest of the Jersey trilogy will have “intimate” showings Monday through Wednesday at nine in the Rec Center Lounge. Advance tickets for Dogma can be picked up Wednesday at 4:00 in the Rec center or at one of the other shows. Students get priority, but the general public also has a good chance of making it in if they show up early enough. Unfortunately, due to renovations on the historic Hoff theatre, Dogma will be shown in the cavernous BioPsych lecture hall, but it is a sneak and it is free. Plus, college screenings usually include cool free stuff like posters or stickers. CHANCE OF ENTRY: HIGH
• KLLC “Alice” 97.3 in the San Francisco Bay Area is hosting a screening of Dogma. They’ve been giving tickets away all week (at various times) – Good luck! CHANCE OF ENTRY: IF YOU’RE LUCKY
• There will also be a preview screening of Dogma in Dallas other than the SportsRadio one that sold out. Saturday at 11 AM a pass for 2 will be given with a canned food donation at Off The Street at 4001 Cedar Springs in Dallas. The screening will be Wed. Nov. 3, 7:30 pm at the Loews Keystone theater in Dallas.CHANCE OF ENTRY: OUTSTANDING

We know you’ll all do your best to get into these screenings, but also trust you will PAY to go and see the flick opening weekend, as well! Let’s get those grosses up there, the flick deserves to have a butt-kicking opening weekend. We’ll be there — Plus, ya know ya gotta see the big announcement at the end of the credits regarding the next flick, right?

• Looks like Affleck‘s making the news again, first talking about his wacky experience with Viagra in excerpts from his upcoming Playboy interview:

In a somewhat related twist, Affleck’s been selected in a poll taken of women online as the movie star that they’d “mostwant to undress”. Ya know Ben’s reading this one and loving it…

• We’ve got lots of Dogma news today that’s exclusive to Rumor Control — Including news on the Dogma article in the latest Wizard, new reviews of the flick and the soundtrack, hints of the novelization in paperback form, and more. Surf over to Dogma: RC for the latest.

• George Carlin was on that Howard Stern wannabe Mancow‘s radio show yesterday morning in Chicago, promoting Dogma. Mancow called Kevin a friend but criticized the film and the concept of Alanis as God. Go figure. The jackass.
• Kevin was featured in the Hollywood Hall of Fame this morning, which is a one minute-long feature run during commercial breks on a Calgary TV station.
• Mallrats lives on! Tonight during “Once and Again” on ABC there was a brief shot of the ‘Rats theatrical poster in the background during a scene. Must be some fans working on the set.
• In the November issue of Details there’s an article on a new camera called Lomo. They sent it to a few actors, among them Jason Lee. Carmen took a picture of him that’s in the magazine. Next to it it says:

Now all we need is for the Lomo folks to start sending promo cameras to lowly webmasters…

That about does it for today! Still lots and lots to do at the house, it never seems to end. Catch ya later.

• Howdy. The car troubles have been boiled down to all new spark plugs and wiring, which still cost a hundred & change, but fixed the problem and is definitely better than a major transmission problem or something. The way I drive that car, it’s almost a miracle that it wasn’t something worse…

There’s no denying the fact that Lions Gate is going all out with promotion of the flick — Ads are now airing everywhere for Dogma, mostly on Fox, the WB, and Comedy Central, but many other spots as well. In fact, last night, Dogma was the spotlight sponsor for the immensely popular new WB show “Angel”. If that doesn’t make some good impressions, we don’t know what will.

Anyway, Dogma continues to dominate the news ’round these parts, naturally. Today we’ve got a few reports from the benefit event along with some new photos, tons of newsbites on the flick, and more.

• Hopefully you took a few minutes and read our Dogma benefit trip report yesterday…But even if ya did, you may want to surf back over because we’ve just added a lot more pics from the event, courtesy of Gramp, as well as pics, reviews, and a transcription of Kev’s introduction that can be found over at All Purpose Reviews. Again, we were happy to be a part of it and hope everyone had a good time. Sure sounds like ya did. Thanks again for coming out to see a great flick and benefit diabetes reasearch and treatment at the same time.

• Marksman chatted it up with some of the residents of Red Bank while he was in town, and dug up a list of RUMORS that have been making the rounds. Keep in mind that we can’t confirm any of this, and it’s all just coming from overheard conversations and questions asked during the Dogma benefit on Monday:
