DVDTalk’s Buena Vista Evening Report…

  • DVDTalk’s got a HUGE writeup on last week’s evening with Buena Vista, where Kevin stole the
    show to promote the upcoming release of the Clerks X and Jersey Girl DVDs. They’ve got the complete transcript of Kevin’s speech that evening as part of
    said wrapup. Here’s a snippet:
…What can I say about Jersey Girl? It’s a movie that I was very very fond of until it underperformed, and now I hate it. Sweet little movie, never got a chance because we had a really big albatross hanging around our neck in the form of, I’ll say it.. George Carlin… It wasn’t him. It is a movie that got checked on two fronts, I’d love to push all the credit off onto the Bennifer shit, but it really wasn’t just them. I read the reviews and a lot of people were like ‘this dude has no business making this fucking picture, it’s got too much heart and class.’ Ok, alright, duly noted. So this next thing I’m going to do is put out this home video we made of Jason Mewes fucking his ex-girlfriend. I’d love to see what BV Home Video puts together for that presentation.

So, please go out there and write about it. I’ve been whoring this thing on our website for the last year or two years, I don’t there’s much more ink to be had for our thing. But, if you feel the need, go out there and say shit about it, because I would love to move a few more. Clerks is one the only Miramax movies that I’ve been involved in, one of my only movies that is actually in profit, so I see back end on that. Jersey Girl, I don’t think I’ll ever see back end on that. It’s actually going to take a little while for it to get back into profit, but frankly I doubt if our company (Miramax) will exist in another year. Clerks I am in profit on. So basically when we came up with the idea to put out the tenth anniversary, it wasn’t because we were like feeling sentimental, and because the movie has survived for ten years, and still works and still plays, I was like ‘we’ll make more fucking money, let’s put it out on three discs, charge even more.’ Maybe I can finally retire from this fucking dog and pony show. So help me move a few more units. I don’t want to keep you guys any longer than you have to be here, because I know you’ve got food and drink and booze and I’d like to fucking go home now. Thanks for coming out, go pimp my shit please.
