…With this kind of crowd, could Smith give up movies and live off the store? “Wouldn’t that be awesome,” Smith said. “I don’t know. I won’t be able to tell you until the end of today and even today won’t be really indicative because it won’t be like this every day. So ask me that question on Friday after we’ve opened on a normal day to see what kind of flow we get. Something tells me it won’t always be like this.”

Anderson finds himself approached less frequently when he’s not directly associated with a Smith event. “I don’t get recognized a whole lot,” Anderson said. “It’s that whole Clark Kent thing. I wore a hat in the movie and it just throws everybody. So I understand that whole thing. ‘It’s Clark Kent, it’s Superman! It’s just glasses.’ I understand that now.

I meet people out here and I’ll hang out with them or we’ll be doing something and all of a sudden they put it together and they’re like, ‘Oh my God, you’re the guy from Clerks. You’re such an ass.’ I’ve met people who have known it was me and they go on and act as though they don’t know it’s me and they make me say bad things about people. I’m kidding. I have nothing bad to say about anybody.”

Ghigliotti admits her fan greetings are pretty consistent, as her character was most memorably attached to a single number. “Usually the obvious [greeting],” she laughed. And she doesn’t have any snappy responses in her repertoire. “With me it’s just whatever the moment is, I’ll go with it.”

While Kevin Smith has said frequently he’s no longer thinking about directing Miramax’s big screen version of The Green Hornet, new co-president of production Jon Gordon tells Variety no decision has been made…

“Gordon also is looking forward to getting Kevin Smith’s draft of “The Green Hornet.” Smith has been unabashed in admitting he’s uncertain if he wants to direct the big-budget franchise, but Gordon said he doesn’t expect a final decision until Smith has turned in the script.”
