- Here’s a scooper-sent recap of Kevin’s KROQ appearance from earlier this week:
First off he was about 10 minutes late. Once he showed up, Kevin and Bean started the Q&A. He was there to pimp the new DVD. They asked him about the Q&As he does at colleges. Mentions that he’s there for about 3 to 6 hours sometimes. Next, he mentioned that he now lives in the LA area which I was completely unaware of. They then asked about Scary Movie 3 and he revealed he’s just exec producing. He mentioned that he’ll have a go over with the script, but that he’s leaving most of the writing to the others (more to Brian Lynch and Zucker). They asked about Jersey Girl and Ben and Jen. Then about the video game. Really nothing new on that front. They closed the show with a pimp on the new DVD which is out next week.
- “Now You Know” continues to screen at the Crown Theatres, New York Twin One-Two(1271 Second Ave., 66th St and 2nd Ave). Catch it from today until Thursday the 19th, every day, at the following showtimes: 1:00, 3:15, 5:30, 7:45, and 10:00. The Asbury Park Press also ran a nice little article on the film including some new quotes from Jeff:
“As we were raising money, we had to keep a small, little company of us doing it. As they were asking me questions and so forth, one day it just came out. They were like, ‘Why don’t you just direct this thing? You seem to know exactly what you want. You wrote this script. Nobody’s going to know this better than you.’ I thought, ‘Oh my God, am I ever going to get this chance again? I might as well take a stab at this.’ ”
Anderson, who also played the supporting role of Gil in “Now You Know,” had to learn Smith’s trick of directing himself. (Smith and his wife, Jennifer Schalbach Smith, have roles in “Now You Know.”)
“Going into it, I thought I had a pretty small part,” Anderson says. “But every day on the set, I’d be like, ‘Oh my God, I’m in this scene? I’m in this scene?’ I think my character was actually on about 65 pages of the script.”
- At this site, there are a number of jpeg wallpapers that are parodies of the Apple Switch ad campaign. Among them is a pretty cool J&SB one. Lots of other good stuff too. All in various resolutions, and they should work on either a PC or a MAC as wallpaper. Enjoy.
New Jersey Girl Diary From Kevin!
- Well, it’s here folks, and as always, it doesn’t disappoint. Kevin drops us a TON of info in his second entry in the Jersey Girl Diary, now available in full form exclusively at our own Movie Poop Shoot!
We’ve got full size versions of all the photos used in the piece (a few you’ll see above) over at our Jersey Girl website, Exit 37. So be sure and stop over there to check out these great new pics in all their glory.
Want a preview of some of the goodies from the piece? Alright, alright, twist our arms. Here’s some snippets:
My latest mantra is “If JERRY MAGUIRE can work at 2:18, we can work at 2:18 …” but that might just be the high (and laze) of wrapping up a first cut talking. We’ll see. Regardless, the movie can now be watched end-to-end, without me stopping every few scenes to explain to the viewer what happens next (now I only have to stop once).
Anybody who incorporates “Snootchie Bootchies!” into their Internet postings or daily conversations might wanna wait for the CLERKS cartoon flick (which — take this as promise or a threat — is next for us) and skip this one. I’ll save you the time of having to post this on our Web-board and let you know that I understand you feel I’m a “pussy,” a “sell-out,” “I’ve lost it” (whatever “it” was), and I “eat cok.” You’re not going to change my mind about the flick; I just love it too much.
The Next Flick. Now that we’re wrapped on JERSEY GIRL, I keep getting this “What’re you doing next?” shit. Aside from the CLERKS cartoon movie (which, once I’m done writing, is out of my hands and into the hands of the directors/animators), truth is, I’m not sure. There are a few options (FLETCH WON – but only if they let Lee play Fletch; this sci-fi thing I’ve been toying with, and a pair of comic-book flicks: one that’s very close to my heart and one that would be completely out of left field) but I’ve yet to figure it out. For the first time in the nearly 10 years we’ve been doing this, I find myself at the end of one movie, not knowing what the next one will be. No complaints, mind you; it’s actually kind of nice. But weird. Maybe it’s time for a vacation finally.

Thanks to all who notified us of this — The scooper list is too HUGE to print. We appreciate it. Enjoy the new entry! We assume we’ll see these more frequently, now that shooting has wrapped up. Especially after the busy holiday season has left us. Stick around.
New Kevin Interview Online At DVDTalk!
- DVD Talk has posted an Interview/Teleconference with Kevin Smith, recorded on Tuesday, about the release of “An Evening with Kevin Smith”. The Interview includes the audio responses from Kevin in MP3 format! Cool stuff.
This one’s got a TON of great new content from Kevin, as it’s the first lengthy interview he’s done in a while that we’re aware of. Hints of “Big Helium Dog”, the least seen View Askew production, hitting DVD are mentioned. Lots more great stuff on a variety of topics. Don’t miss this one. They misspelled “Mosier”, otherwise, not bad at all.

IGN also has the same teleconference if you need somewhere else to check it out.
