Anyway I understand where you are coming from, so here it is;
There was never any official statement from View Askew, BECAUSE THEY HAVE NOTHING TO FUCKIN DO WITH THE AUSTRALIAN RELEASE.
Here is what newsaskew posted (Thats the official viewaskew news site)

Not that it makes any of the fans feel any better, but here's the official statement from Buena Vista on the Australian release date delay for Jay & Bob:
We have decided it was in the film's best commercial interest to move the release to early 2002. This will enable us to build on the cult status of Jay and Silent Bob over the summer months via a sustained marketing campaign. The aim is to familiarise an even larger percentage of Australian cinema-goers to this comedic phenomenon. We also expect the move will serve to build anticipation amongst Jay and Silent Bob's many devotees.
We hope that you're still amongst the first to see the film on the big screen.

If you still think that i'm making shit up. Go to newsaskew.com and type "Buena Vista" into the search field. Its the second bit of news that comes up.


: : Dude, shut the fuck up. Your not the only one whos disappointed
: about the delay. But instead of getting angry look up the summaries.

: : The reason it has been delayed is that Buena Vista believe that they
: will make alot more money if they market the movie over the summer
: holidays. It is a bad idea and will not work. Not to mention that I
: havent seen any of this marketing.

: : So redirect your anger at Buena Vista. Complain, get people you
: know to compain and maybe they will push it forward. Arguing with
: stubborn people is useless.

: I can see where you are coming from but how bout you consider this
: ........................................................

: Where are these Summaries you refer to (provide a link perhaps?)?
: Because ... this comes across as your opinion as to why Buena Vista
: are pushing the film back, as opposed to say an official statement
: from View Askew? So you can see why people in Australia may want
: to receive something a bit more than the word of some anon user of
: a chat board. The guys at view askew (bless em!) went and changed
: the date of the Australian release on the web site, I guess what would
: be great if they could add a brief explanation why as well (and if they
: went to the trouble of recreating the image with the new date changes
: they could put a quick html page together)? Doesn't seem too much
: to ask. Beuna Vista may have delayed the release but View Askew
: could let their fans know the reasons why????
: I really don't understand where all this negativity has come from ....
: please don't try and tell me you guys would not be asking the same
: questions if the date was pushed back by 3 months (Someone would
: have posted ASAP with an official response also).
