  • According to promos, Kevin’s going to be appearing on Afentra’s Big Fat Morning Buzz on 96.5 the Buzz in Kansas City on Monday. The show runs from 6 AM to 10 AM, but we don’t have a specific call-in time at this point. We imagine he’ll be continuing to plug Jersey Girl through next week, though probably a little less crazily than this past week.
  • Those of you who don’t really get the Rotten Tomatoes system (we don’t, considerng, as Kevin says, anything but a totally GLOWING review is considered a negative, no in-betweens there), a good place to go and read reviews is also the MRQE. They’ve got a simple page of links to all the JG reviews, but of course you can find a lot thru our previous posts here, as well.
  • Metacritic is another site where you can read reviews as well as rate Jersey Girl. At presstime, the ratings from users are fantastic, with critics putting the film generally in the mixed range.

  • Kevin’s quoted in an ad for “Strangers in Paradise” in the latest Previews mag. Check it out here.
  • And finally today, Justin may take the prize for being the fan that did the most to promote Jersey Girl this weekend:

I saw Jersey Girl on Friday and during that entire day I wore this shirt that I have pictured below that I made, I stood at the end of the ticket line for about 15 minutes as people read my shirt. I didnlt move or say a thing.. I just stood still while people looked at the shirt and oddly questioned what the hell I was doing…I could hear a few mumbled comments such as…”37 times?” and “Is it really a big enough deal to make a shirt about?” I was gettin’ the biggest kick out of it…

After the movie was over, I pretty much spent the rest of the day just goin’ around to public places and solicitating the movie…I went to this diner called “Panera Bread”, I went to my town’s local library, I went to the mall, I even got some peoples attention by yelling “Go See Jersey Girl” out the window of the car. Not sure if this “rampage” of mine got anyone to go see the movie…but it was still fun.

Anyways, its 6:09 p.m. in my hometown of Davenport, IA and Im gonna catch the 8 p.m. showing of Jersey Girl at the theater tonight wearing the shirt again. Hopefully it’ll get some people to go see it…

Never say that View Askew fans aren’t a dedicated lot! We’ll catch ya again soon. Enjoy the rest of your weekend, and if you haven’t been to a theater yet, for the love of all that is good and holy…GO!
