- Daredevil is on track to bring in around $40 million this weekend and the #1 spot — A very, very impressive opening which will almost surely greenlight a sequel very soon. We’ll have final numbers for you next update.
- And speaking of Daredevil, Movie Poop Shoot’s Michael Dequina was lucky enough to attend the premiere http://www.moviepoopshoot.com/nightout/index.html and meet the likes of Jennifer Garner, Michael Clarke Duncan, Ben Affleck, and even Kevin. Read the full exntensive report of his entire experience over at MPS!
- In the February 25th issue of The Star Magazine (yes, the one often found by the supermarket checkout stand), there’s a page devoted to Ben, Jen, & Jersey Girl. The article appears on page 28 and, from what we hear, claims to have spoilers, so read at your own risk!
- Chasing Amy and Ben Affleck get a mention today (Feb 16) in a Chicago Sun-Times column by Richard Roeper detailing several film “Ton 10-ish Lists”. Top 10 Signs a Movie Character Is Doomed, Top Songs In Permanent Rotation On The Movie Soundtrack Jukebox, etc:
Ben and Chasing Amy though appear on the list 7 MOVIES IN WHICH BEN AFFLECK CRIES LIKE A BIG FAT BABY. And actually, even though we only see his character’s hands in his last shot in Mallrats (when he is in jail and about to make a new friend), I would pretty much bet a pan up would have revealed some tears.
- Kevin appears in another of those online comic strips this week. He and both “Willams” appear in this weeks “Skatey-Eight” comic. Skatey-Eight is a band from Michigan, and their drummer creates the comic for the site weekly.
- PVP Online features an “Open Letter to Ben Affleck” on their front page today, apologizing for thinking that Ben would make a bad Daredevil (after seeing the film and enjoying his performance).
- Derek Burgan, a reviewer for a professional wrestling site, wrote up a nice recommendation of the “An Evening with Kevin Smith” DVD for his DVD of the Week at the bottom of his Smackdown review this week.
- The short film SHADOWPLAY, scored by Ryan Shore (who scored “Vulgar”) won First Place at the Student Emmy Awards and also won a Student Academy Award last June. For more information on this composer, go to his website at www.ryanshore.com.
- Here’s a custom made Affleck as Daredevil figure that’s now up for bids on eBay. The likeness is actually pretty good!
- Mallrats will air in the UK, Monday night, 12.50 on BBC1.
- We’re not quite sure how dated this is, but we’ve never mentioned it (at least, not that we can recall). The Misanthophic Humorist takes a look back at Kevin’s films with some short opinions on all of ‘em.
