  • The Arclight Chasing Amy screening and Q&A sold out very quickly after our mention a few days ago — Congrats to all who got tickets, hopefully we helped you out with that. If you didn’t act fast enough, hey, what can we say? We warned ya! Have a great time, it’s certain to be an excellent event, and certainly one we wish we could attend ourselves were we not coastally challenged.
  • A chat transcript with DVD producer JM Kenny appeared at the excellent Digital Bits website this weekend — In it, JM speaks a bit about his projects with Kevin (he worked on the awesome Mallrats, Dogma, and Evening With discs and will hopefully be back for more). Not to mention, he’s a very nice guy who gave us a tour of his way cool facility the last time we were on the west coast. A very interesting read where JM gives a lot of props to working with Kevin.
  • And speaking of chats, Liv Tyler recently did a chat/Q&A with her fans at the Lovely Liv Tyler site. Jersey Girl comes up a couple of times, particularly in this bit here:
Q: How did you like working with Kevin Smith and Ben Affleck on Jersey Girl ? Were there any memorable things that happened on the set that you would like to share with us ?

A: Hi Lusiman, I had a great time working with Kevin and Ben. I really like acting with Ben. He is a very generous actor and is always very present in the scenes. I feel free to try anything with him and that is not something I feel all the time with actors. I think we work well together. Kevin is hysterical! He is always making me laugh and is such a great writer. He writes really well-rounded female characters. My character is smart, funny, brave and kind. I really enjoyed playing the part because she had so many great qualities. Many times female parts are lacking in depth but I feel Kevin really likes women, is interested in them, and knows how to write them well.

  • If you’re into the Yahoo Groups thing, a Kevin Smith Yahoo Group exists — In the group, folks chat, set up in-person meetups, share photos, and the like.
  • A popular web comic called Cinerama features a blurred image of the Clerks cartoon in its third panel today.
  • Clerks appears in the IMDB’s “Truly Trivial” section again today (though we believe they’ve used this one before as well):
“The cost of obtaining soundtrack rights outweighed the entire production costs for this 1994 film.”
  • Aint It Cool News reports that a Director’s Cut of Daredevil is scheduled for this April on DVD.
  • Here’s a scan of that Jason Mewes tattoo that appeared in the mag of the same name.
