• Well, we’ve known this day was coming for some time — One of the biggest days for extras on the Jersey Girl set and also one of the most public locations for the film wrapped shooting yesterday — Philadelphia’s Hard Rock Cafe, which we’ve eaten many a cheeseburger at, doubled for the New York location as scenes were filmed there this week.

Naturally, we’ve got a bunch of reports from the set, from press and fans alike. We’ll run those reports here for ya, and they’ll also be archived over at Exit 37 along with our recent set visit and others.

First, let’s get the Philly Inquirer blurb in:

Brian Garber wasn’t an extra, but still has a story to tell regarding what he saw when he found the set. And finally, Bobby Miller reports his experiences as an extra at his Rigged Productions website.

• Well, here’s some very cool, unexpected news! It seems that the town of Paulsboro has been pleased with how things are going with filming and the excitement it’s brought the town…So pleased, in fact, that they’re naming a street in the town after Kevin himself! The “official ceremony” may take place as soon as Monday or Tuesday NEXT WEEK! We’ll keep you up to date on this, in case you’d like to attend. In the meantime, here’s a story from Paulsboro on the event:

• We’re very sad to read that “Push, Nevada” has apparently been cancelled, yet another casualty of ABC. The show was actually quite compelling, though we’d guess that audiences yet again got confused by the quirky Twin Peaks-esque characters and situations. Shame, too, as each episode was doing a fine job and filling viewers in on what they missed in previous episodes just fine. Oh well. Anyway, the seventh and final episode will air on October 24th. After that, enough clues will have been given to allow viewers to solve the mystery and win the $1 million-plus jackpot. Bring it on!

Anyway, to Ben & Sean and everyone else that worked on that show — We liked it. Maybe someday the public will be ready for a unique show like Push, instead of another police show. Not that police shows are bad, but with 3 Law and Orders, 2 CSIs, and more, a little variety never hurts.

• The POWDER music video featuring Jason Mewes and produced by CHASING KEVIN’s Scott Kramer and producer Khene Tan is now online. It’s a catchy tune and Mewes is clearly featured in the vid as a thief. And if that’s not enough for ya, guys, yes, there’s also a scantily clad female lead singer. Sold? We’ve got 2 streaming locations for ya, first, the one we’d recommend is a QuickTime streaming at: http://www.hayeshandpiece.com/mv/powder001.html.

There’s also a Windows Media version of the video located HERE.

The video was directed by Stuart Acher who was featured in the recent Jeffrey Well’s column on movie poop shoot. Enjoy, but expect slow download times once everyone starts trying to watch the video at the same time.

• An excellent new interview with View Askew’s beloved Amy Noble has been conducted. You can read it in its entirety at the Slacker’s Guild website.
• The book “An Askew View: The Films of Kevin Smith” is starting to show up at shelves in bookstores and online. One scooper calls it, “An excellent read. It’s a very interesting book about the films and stories from Walt, Bryan, Brian, Jeff and others about their experiences working on the films.”

• Preorders are now being taken for an Australian DVD 2-pack of Chasing Amy & Clerks. The discs are the complete US Region 1 versions, with all the great extras. Surf HERE to see the cool new box art. Even cooler: Included with every purchase of the Clerks and Chasing Amy Box Set is a bonus poster of that very art at no extra charge!
