: Keeping everyone guessing - it's like a kid with a magnifying glass and we are the lowly ants. : : Here goes... : : Smalls (yes, this board's very own Smalls) has been hired to work at View Askew. : : Alright, that's not the big news. Sadly, there will be no big news today. Thought it would be : : alright to talk about by today, but it's not. Sorry. I'm hoping I can bust it by Friday, but no : : promises. I'm at the mercy of the parent company on this one, so cut a brother some slack. : : This is not me toying with your hearts and minds, because I assure you, if I'd had my way, : : I'd have told you a month ago. But some shit's out of my control, and this announcement is : : one of those things. : : To assuage this cyber pull-out of sorts, what follows is a list of OTHER news - various little : : tidbits to hold ya'll over 'til the bomb drops. : : - Variety, the film trade magazine of record, is doing an issue celebrating View Askew's : : Tenth Anniversary. It's a very cool honor. They'll be talking about our little secret club- : : house website as well, so keep an eye out for the issue. It hits stands in March, I believe. : : - Today I'm shooting a guest spot on the CBS sitcom "Yes, Dear", in which I play... well, me. : : Already shot a little bit on Monday (an exterior at the front gate of CBS Radford; ironically, : : the same gate Jay and I snuck past in "Strike Back") and had a good time. Not sure when it's : : gonna air yet. : : - We started press screening "Jersey Girl" last week (in NY and LA) and it's going very well. : : - The "Jersey Girl" screening to benefit the Kenny Gordon Foundation will be held March 4th : : in NYC, five days before the premiere. Ben, Liv, and I will be at the benefit, and tickets are : : gonna be open to the public (heads-up: the prices will be a little steep, as it's a benefit). I'll : : let you know where you can buy tix next week. : : - There's also gonna be a screening up at the Jacob Burns Film Center in Pleasantville, NY, : : on March 10th or 11th, I think. The beloved Janet Maslin will do some Q&A with me : : following the show. Tix will be open to the public. : : - I'll be in Toronto on March 12th doing a college Q&A (for Ryerson, I think) at the Roy : : Thomson Hall. Tickets are open to the public. No "JG" screening beforehand or anything. : : This is straight up Q&A. : : - Ya'll have already read about the South By Southwest/Austin Film Society Screening of "JG". : : The "Strike Back" Austin screening was about the best public screening of the flick I'd ever : : attended, so hopefully, this'll at least match it. Q&A will follow. : : - The L.A. Secret Stash's opening has been pushed back to June 1st now. There will be a : : Bash for that Stash, rest assured. : : - Saw the completed 3D-animated View Askew Productions card that Chris Bailey made for : : the front of "Jersey Girl", and it's fucking awesome. It's based on the new Jay and Bob logo : : that some of you have spotted at the bottom of the "Jersey Girl" poster. Imagine the : : InAction figures having come to life, and you'll get an idea of how it looks. Would be cool to : : do a whole movie with them... : : - I am finally... FINALLY... finishing both "Spider-Man and the Black Cat" and "Daredevil: : : Target" for Marvel. Big apologies on the delays, but I'll try to make it worth it. : : - Along those lines, I'm also finally... FINALLY... getting all the free "Strike Back" posters : : signed and out next week, with the help of the mighty Smalls (who's been too modest to : : admit here that he's now a View Askew employee). : : And that's about it for now. Keep checking back for the biggie tomorrow and Friday. : : For the record, though - the big news has nothing to do with Tom Cruise.
