  • Here’s a transcript off the AP wire of an interview with Kevin, Ben, & Linda that happened at Liz Taylor‘s annual AMFARbash (see a pic of Ben & Salma at the bash above along with another bonus pic of Affleck hijinks from the photo call earlier):

REPORTER: WHY IS IT SO IMPORTANT FOR YOU TO COME TO AN EVENT LIKE THIS?

LINDA FIORENTINO: BECAUSE THE FOOD IS FREE.

REPORTER: WHAT ELSE?

LINDA FIORENTINO : TO SUPPORT MY DIRECTOR.

BEN AFFLECK: YOU KNOW THIS IS SORT OF A LOT LIKE PARTIES AND PREMIERES IN THE STATES EXCEPT THE PHOTOGRAPHERS HAVE A DIFFERENT ACCENT “‘ALLO BEN PLEASE OVER HERE” I DON’T KNOW I KIND OF LIKE IT, IT’S A CHANGE OF PACE, DIFFERENT ACCENT.

REPORTER: DO YOU THINK IT’S IMPORTANT, I MEAN CANNES IS SUCH A KIND OF CELEBRITY GLITZY THING, TO DO SOMETHING WHERE IT’S ALL GOING TO A GOOD CAUSE?

KEVIN SMITH: YEAH ABSOLUTELY, YOU MIGHT AS WELL, EVERYONE’S HERE, IF YOU CAN RAISE A FEW BUCKS OFF IT SO BE IT.

REPORTER: DO YOU MIND IF I ASK YOU HOW MUCH YOU PAID FOR YOUR TICKET?

KEVIN SMITH: I DIDN’T. I WAS GIVEN MY TICKET, IN FACT I HAVE A FEW FOR SALE IF ANY OF YOU LADIES AND GENTLEMEN WOULD LIKE TO GO IN.

Just a small sampling of the fun and frolic over there in France. Also, you can check out Peter Brunette’sREPORT in RealAudio(though we had trouble getting it to work) while the file is still online. We dunno how long this link will work, but we hear the guy had some mixed feelings about Dogma, but enjoyed it overall.

ALSO, be sure and surf on over to Dogma: Rumor Control for ALL these articles in full, as well as some other similar pieces that we didn’t place on News Askew. Remember, for maximum coverage, always check both sites!
