I've seen those pics on other sites (DVD sites) with links to Kevin's web site.

Looked like Kevin just took pictures of the DVD set on his carpet, I like the titles to the chapters!

Looks like I'll be buying another Clerks DVD (I think the original is the most expensive DVD I ever purchased! It was $40 when I got it back in 1998/9. That's insane!)

View Askew has a message board? That's awesome!

I HATE stand up comedy!

Dave Chappelle is a no talent hack.

[TheMojoPin]

Yeah, it actually was the only other message board I've been a "regular" to outside of this one. But it's an awful mess now.

This DVD set looks fan-friggin'-tastic. Glad I only paid $9 for the first one.

Some things about Clerks certainly are a bit different then 10 Years ago:

My user name on the Viewaskew board was "Walt Flanagan's Dog" but that was years ago and is now longer valid.

I have pictures of me with Kevin Smith, Walt Flanagan, Brian O Hallaran(sp?, AKA Dante) Bryan Johnson, Vincent P. And Jason fucking Mews (between arrests and not looking too happy to be there at Vulgarthan 2 back in 2000)

I stayed at Eatonton's for 2 nights!! Too weird.


Kevin Smith always does a great job w/ dvd extras. Check out Dogma and J+SB SB

Kevin Smith is also responsible for the worst easter egg ever. See here. (http://www.dvdreview.com/eastereggs/collect/368.html)

Damn am I that much of a spelling nazi?! :)

Wow its funny you guys were at the Vulgarthons. I skipped those, but am very familiar with said Eatontown Hotels. Wow thats literally like 5 mins away.

I spell Giggly: S-H-I-T but I cant really say that coz i havent seen it. But I'm willing to stick my neck out here.

I used to read Newsaskew religiously, and only read the viewaskew boards for Kev's posts. Now... am I the only one who's really lost interest in Kev?

[mikeyboy]

I'm in the same boat. I used to hit Newsaskew at least once a day. He still hasn't attained the consistency that I was hoping for from him. I still like Clerks and Chasing Amy a lot, but the other movies, in my eyes, are pretty flawed. I had high hopes or Dogma, having read the script over a year before they started production, but I was ultimately disappointed. My interest in all things KS has definitely cooled.

After Jersey Girl, No, I'm with you.

I did like Clerks and will check out the new DVD. But Kevin's next film would have to get fantastic reviews for me to see it. I don't visit his sites any more (except to look at the DVD in the past few days)

[Mike Teacher]

I never was into his stuff. I saw Clerks very very early on, and it was...ok for me.

Mallrats? Took three attempts to struggle to get to the end of it.

Chasing Amy; watched it filmed. Watched it once. Yawn.

Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back? Fun but disposable.

Dogma? The forced non-acting of some of the cast as they try to spew some fairly complex philosophy just, sorry kev, stinks.

I saw the 30 mins of Jersey Girl at the last View Askew Thing, it looked super, like This is the one, and I realize... no, its just KS's attempt at a boring romantic comedy.

Yeah! Though I actually stayed with a friend about half an hour away, so I was outta there by like 4 AM. Still, it was a lot of fun. If Smith puts another one on, I'm hoping to make the trip.
