- We’re just back from tonight’s Jersey Girl screening to a packed house in Sherman Oaks, California. We’ll have a full review of the film at the site for you soon, but wanted to just give a couple initial impressions. We both enjoyed the film a great deal, and it’s SUCH a departure from Kevin’s previous work that you’ll get lost in the film (until a familiar Askewniverse face shows up now and then). It’s shot beautifully, acted wonderfully (Affleck has some truly touching as well as painful moments), and this is by far the most universally-translatable View Askew film. This one should bring in audiences both young and old, here and abroad, and has laughs for all ages.
The crowd was very responsive overall, with some jokes/sequences getting HUGE laughs that sustained for quite some time. Any film that can do that has a lot going for it, and from the conversations we overhead before the film started, this was a tough crowd to win over. When you see Jersey Girl this Fall, you’ll be seeing a step in a very new direction for Kevin and View Askew Productions. We hope you’ll be as proud of them as we are right now. Watch for a full review (non spoiler, of course) and our complete trip wrap-up after we get back into town later this week.

- Ming has placed Kevin’s latest edition of Roadside Attractions online — The Branson edition from the Tonight Show aired and we totally missed it amidst all the chaos in getting ready to come out here. Anyway, luckily for us, and those of you that missed it as well, it’s available for immediate viewing online HERE. Enjoy, as things are WAY too slow on this hotel dialup to bring it down — We’ll check it out when we’re back home.

- You’ll find a bunch of photos of Kevin and Harley from the Finding Nemo premiere held this past Sunday here in Hollywood at the Wireimage website.
- This Australian cinema site lists Jersey Girl for a January, 2004 release date — So those of you in that part of the world should only have to wait a couple months after those of us Stateside to catch it on the big screen.
- We’re on a jet plane back to Pennsylvania tomorrow, so wish us a safe trip and we’ll catch ya back here with more news tomorrow or Thursday. Later!
