Beautiful country, this. Actually, the immediate area of Lexington that I’m in is right up my alley: strip malls, movie theaters, and decent hotels. Granted, one can see that almost anywhere in America, but that’s what I’m all about: geographical generic sameness. It makes me feel safe.

So let’s see, what’s been going on? Last week, I popped by the “Daredevil” set again, this time solely as a looky-loo, and what I saw, I loved. The DD costume is pretty fucking bad-ass. T’was awesome to see it, particularly in the setting (Josie’s Bar, for those of you into the comics). I cannot wait to see this flick – with or without my scene. One of my favorite actors playing one of my favorite characters. Color me a geeky fan-boy.

Speaking of being a geeky fan-boy, the Sci-Fi Channel asked me to host another “Star Wars” Fan-Film special. Those of you who lurked or posted pre-”Jay and Silent Bob” might remember the first Sci-Fi “Star Wars” special I hosted from the Secret Stash, about two years ago. Well this time, we taped the thing at “Star Wars” uber-enthusiast/chronicler/collector Stephen Sansweet’s museum out near Skywalker Ranch. You wouldn’t believe this place – literally every piece of “Star Wars” merchandising is accounted for, as well as artwork, props from the movies, promotional tie-ins, and costumes. It was mind-bending to stroll down memory lane with all the toys and fringe licensed products (the Dixie Cups I had for years in our kitchen cabinet, because I wouldn’t let anybody use them; the Yoda tin bank with combination lock that, in my high school years, would be home to the first joint I was ever given). Not sure when the show’s going to air, but I’ll give you a head’s-up when they tell me the dates.

Saw the commercials we shot a few weeks ago, all edited and whatnot. Very cool.

But I guess the big news is that Miramax gave “Jersey Girl” the green light – which really only means they’ve started cash-flowing the flick. It’s a small and not very surprising point, but cool nonetheless. We are now official.

Hope to see some of you tonight, and others of you Wednesday night, in Cincinnati.

And as soon as I can, I’ll hip you all to some “Jersey Girl” casting stuff. Some interesting and cool stuff is afoot.
