: As pointed out by someone earlier in the week (yes, I may not be posting much lately, but I'm watching; Mother-Sister ALWAYS watches), mid-July marks the fifth year this site's been in existence. With all that's been going on with 'Jay and Silent Bob', we never got to officially recognize this or make a big deal out of it, which is kind of a shame, as it's probably the most important aspect of View Askew, outside of the movies themselves. Perhaps if we make it another five years with the site, I'll do what I've threatened to do in the past: throw a party at my house for anyone still interested. But for this first milestone anniversary, all I can do is say "Happy Birthday, www.viewaskew.com."
: We're in the studio at this moment, recording the score for the flick. Jim's done a phenomenal job, working first with an 83 piece orchestra on Monday, and now a smaller 53 piece orchestra yesterday and today. Later tonight, we record the choir.
: Yes - it's a BIG score. Big and funky.
: Some folks have been speculating about the move from the 24th to the 22nd. This, I'm told, is a vote of confidence. Bob figures the movie to be a word-of-mouth flick, so the Wednesday bow is meant to jump-start the weekend as folks (like yourselves) who go on Wed/Thurs spread the word to those looking for something to see on Friday and Saturday. We'll see if it pans out, but I tend to trust Bob. He knows what he's doing.
: Tomorrow, we record the last pieces of ADR on the movie, with Mewes, Eliza, and Diedrich, then it's off to San Diego. The panel's on Friday, from 2:00 to 5:00p.m. I believe. I'll be showing a rather large clip from the flick, amongst other goodies. And for a lucky two hundred and fifty attendees, there's going to be something extra special...
: Remember: get to the panel early, and come prepared to ask really good questions. Excellent queries may be rewarded.
...gonna be there? Not that you havent done enough *slurp slurp* but I'd like to see a scene from the movie:)
Happy Birthday View Askew.
