: 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.
