- In this article, published in the Chicago Tribune’s movie section today, Kevin talks about how his marriage is reflected in Jersey Girl:
…Even Kevin Smith, king of the slacker flick, is changing his stripes with the upcoming “Jersey Girl,” starring Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez, about a workaholic publicist who decides to get married and have kids when he meets the right woman.
Smith (“Chasing Amy,” “Clerks”), said it will be interesting to see how his young fans react to this movie, which doesn’t feature his stock characters, Jay and Silent Bob, poster boys for the unencumbered life.
“It’s not about subject matter they can all identify with,” Smith said about “Jersey Girl.” “But we all think about marriage and want it, even if we’re not going for the white picket fence.”
“I wanted to marry the woman who rocked my head and my heart and rocked me physically. I hope she feels the same,” Smith said.

- Today’s IMDB poll asks which defunct TV show you’d most like to see made into a movie. One of the choices is CLERKS: TAS! Wonder if we should tell them that the show is already based on an upcoming film…
- Yet again, the new issue of Arena magazine does NOT have a Kevin Smith column. Damn shame! That’s 2 months in a row now. We’re not sure if Kevin is on hiatus due to filming, or just completely done with the column. If that’s the end, it will be missed.
- Jennifer Lopez mentioned Jersey Girl in an inteverview during the MTV VMA Awards preshow last night. Congrats to Jennifer on her VMA as well!
- Matt Damon has been on the talk show circuit in Australlia this week to promote Bourne Identity. Today, on Good Morning Australia, he mentioned Kevin’s role in his success, saying that without Kevin, he wouldn’t be where he is today.
- In the latest issue of “Too Much Coffee Man Magazine”, there’s a small article on how Kevin Smith owes Jason Brightman $1.50. Apparently, Jason met Kevin at a convention and gave him a copy of his comic, “Frayed Ends”. Jason then received a fan letter from somebody who bought the comic, before it’s release, at Jay & Silent Bob’s Secret Stash. Jason says all he wants is $1.50 or 50% of the sale. Alrighty then.
