- Well folks, it’s the big weekend, when us east-coasters get some of Kev’s attention back for a 2-day stint at the WizardWorld Comic Show in Philly — We’ll be there tomorrow covering the event, so this will be the last update until Sunday — Hopefully we’ll have a nice report and some exclusive pics for ya then. Have a good weekend, and remember, just a mere 6 days until Episode II (maybe even less for some — The flick’s apparently already leaked onto the net!). See you at WizardWorld!

- Eliza Dushku mentions working with Kevin in a recent article on her new flick (”The New Guy”) at IGN Filmforce:
Given that Dushku has worked with a variety of directors and actors, not to mention her stint on television as Faith, one can’t help but wonder if this was the most improv-oriented project she’s been involved with. “No, Kevin Smith takes the cake,” she replies. This comes as a surprise, given that Smith is supposed to be a notorious stickler not only in terms of dialogue, but also with hardcore rehearsals prior to shooting. “Half my lines on Jay and Silent Bob were given to me in-between the words “roll” and “action.” Exclaims Dushku. “[Smith was like] “Duck Shoot, [his pet name for her] before you throw the thing to Shannon say, ‘B-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b.’ And I’m like, ‘What?’ He would give me this whole thing to say. And I’m a good mimic, I have a terrible long-term memory, but I have a really good imitating ability. So he’d be like, ‘Say this, okay? And Action!’ The scene would be going on and all of a sudden I’d get to the point where I spit out the line and I’d hear Kevin just dying laughing. I’d be like, ‘Kevin, you can’t do that dude! I have such a potty mouth.’ The scenes were all full of curses and just really, really crazy stuff. I’m telling you some of those lines came on the moment. Kevin really liked playing that little game with me.”

- And finally today, it’s nice to know that if he gets tired of working in the film biz, there’s something for him to fall back on. This sign was spotted in Kentucky. Catch ya later, folks.
