When we invented a few silly drinking games after seeing “Chasing Amy” back in May of 1997, and put them online, we figured that would be the start and the end of it. Little did we know of the amazing experience and adventure that it would turn into. What once started as a drinking game experiment quickly blossomed into a full-fledged, and official, news website about all things Kevin Smith and View Askew, called News Askew. This summer, we were then honored to be asked to transition … Read More »

How about some multimedia for you today? We’d like to send some kudos out to author Amar, on the work he did on this hockey video for YouTube, taking recent comments from Kevin Smith and Joe Rogan during their podcast and turning it into a tightly edited 10 minutes of hockey enjoyment. He calls it “Two for Tripping: Blaze and Schtick”. Kudos, sir, and nice work.

The big news this week continues to be “Red State”, which took Netflix by storm with its simultanous streaming release along with purchase availability on DVD and Bluray. Stream it free if you’ve got Netflix now (and if you watched it early, all those earlier audio glitches were fixed, so check it out again). Then, go buy the Bluray. “Red State” is the first film we can remember in quite some time that demands an immediate rewatch. It plays very well on rewatches, especially once you … Read More »

While many films big and small tanked this year, “Red State” was very profitable, and continues to be so as it tours the world.

We don’t think we’ve run this one yet — Den of Geek runs a spoiler-free, positive bit of ink for “Red State” to promote it’s recent UK release. They say:

“You won’t see many other $4 million movies with a cast this strong. They’re not mega-stars, but there’s just the right combination of character actors, rising stars and yes, one genuine American treasure, to make the performances of Red State the biggest selling point of a movie that still has more to offer.”

Kevin filmed a recent cameo for the film … Read More »
