I saw three movies in twenty four hours! SlapAyoda totally hooked up the 
preview passes and we got to see Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back and Run 
Ronnie Run. Since it's opening weekend for AI, we saw that at the Mann 
Chinese in Hollywood. Afterwards, we headed down to Anaheim to check out 
ID4Con and watch a bunch of drunk hackers play with fireworks. Yay! 
Awesome freaking weekend. This issue has reviews of the movies, and an 
elite poem by Monk. More poetry by Monk in upcoming issues of 
Flippersmack! 

Check out the OFFICIAL website for the DefCon Scavenger Hunt! We WILL be

Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back (Movie Review) 
by Pinguino [pinguino@comicartist.com] 

JAY AND SILENT BOB STRIKE BACK is a hilarious return to the previous four  
View Askew movies, and almost entirely a giant inside joke. If you haven't 
seen CLERKS, MALLRATS, CHASING AMY, and DOGMA, little of this movie will make 
sense. Jay (Jason Mewes) and Silent Bob (Kevin Smith), a pair of goofball 
drug dealers, travel from Jersey to Hollywood to stop production of a movie 
that is being made of the comic book based on their lives. This is the movie 
that ties quirky details from the other four movies together, where Jay and 
Silent Bob only had short appearances in. Jay and Silent Bob put on an 
excellent performance; each antic was fresh and entertaining. The movie also 
has some great spoofs from STAR WARS, SCOOBY DOO, and PLANET OF THE APES. 
Invite some friends over for a View Askew marathon, and watch this movie on 
August 24!

A.I. (Movie Review) 
by Pinguino [pinguino@comicartist.com] 

Spielberg's AI is an emotional journal of a robot boy who strives to 
become a real live boy. David, played by Haley Joel Osment, is the first 
robot built to love. The movie is a social commentary of early 22nd 
century society, where humans and robots co-exist. The movie is loosely 
based on "Supertoys Last All Summer Long" by Brian Aldiss (1969). 
Spielberg leads your heart down extreme paths of love and hate, jealousy 
and innocence, and through a realistic vision of the future. This is one 
of his best films to date, from storytelling to special effects. Don't 
miss seeing this one in theatres!

Run Ronnie Run (Movie Review) 
by Pinguino [pinguino@comicartist.com] 

Ronnie Dobbs (David Cross), a belligerent drunk, gets discovered from 
multiple arrests on a COPS-style TV show, and lands his own series. 
Through his rise to fame and fortune, his eyes remain fixed to his one 
true love. David Cross puts on an amazing performance as Ronnie, and his 
antics will definately make you laugh. This hilarious spin-off of HBO's 
MR. SHOW is sure to be the funniest comedy of 2002.

Untitled 
by Monk (monkstah@hotmail.com) 

your stealing my eyes with your broadway stare 
slipping through the corner of those glasses 
like adam's voice interrupting my bedsheets 
with coffee black lines i remind myself 
that dreaming isn't fair. 

if only my ginger rogers missed fred astaire, 
i'd show her dancing on the tin roofs 
of buildings, clasping elegant satin 
around her shoulders as she silenced 
the room by her walk. 

your ruby lips gingerly reveal more of 
your character than you allow, and 
inhibitions slip silently to the ground 
with each passing drink in your hand. 

i met a girl who dreams in cleveland, 
and exacts her medicine with modesty 
through morning cigarettes 
that allow the rest of the day to welcome her. 

i met a boy who looks at blue 
waiting for eyes that compare to vivian leigh, 
and only hoping she strolls 
with an air of simpleness.

A big huge hug to SlapAyoda for making an elite Scavenger Hunt puzzle =)
