: Fine. I give up my J-Lo/Pg-13 rants.

What do you call what follows then?

: Either J-Lo can act in your Jersey Girl, or you're bashing her hack actress image, or she winds up deceased and mutilated in the end. I can only hopefully suspect these three fates for the "Jersey Girl". If you're with the former, you had better get some serious pointers from Steven Soderbergh because he's the only one who can make J-Lo if not decent, at least worthwhile.

So you have no faith in Kevin's ability?

: Still, Janeane Garofalo would have made a good "Jersey Girl".

She's not Hispanic. You know nothing about the role.

: She's funnier-can't you understand that(Reality Bites, The Truth About Cats and Dogs)?!

Maybe the character isn't funny.

: And I don't see what is wrong with Jack Black-have you even see High Fidelity and what did you even think of him there?

Kevin didn't say there's anything wrong with Jack Black. Like 99.9% percent of actors haven't been in Kevin's flicks. Doesn't mean Kevin dislikes them.

: By the way, I'm 28-not "younger".

Scary.

: And what limited imagination are you talking about? I'm a film geek who actually likes films like Requiem for a Dream, Fight Club, Pulp Fiction, or Trainspotting-you're telling me I have limited imagination?! Ha!

You like only movies that are the indie-film-of-the-moment. Great imagination.

: Even I don't know what is in your "Jersey Girl" -there can be certain clues that can point to the badness of a film like that.

A film like what? You don't even know what kind of film it is. Not many people do. I sure as hell don't, thats why I don't complain about it.

: For example, I don't need to see American Pie 2 to know how bad and coy with the sex it is.

So you prejudge movies without seeing them? Cool.

: Or for that matter, I don't need to see Mariah Carey's Glitter to know that she's just as hack an actress as J-Lo can get these days.

Oh snap, Glitter is bad? What an original opinion.

: Clues can point to this direction Kevin.

What clues point to Kevin making a movie on par with AP2 or Glitter? I don't see any...

:I'm not saying your Jersey Girl is bad but just these factors have the potential to make it fall short.

What factors? WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? Tons of movies come out that are PG-13 and are great. And Kevin has worked with big hollywood names in his last two movies.

: Fine. Go make your Jersey Girl without Janeane or Parker or Jack or R-rated dialogue or hot Ben-J-Lo sex.

Why do you act like he has to have these actors? Or r-rated dialouge?

: But can you at least make up by doing a guest appearance with Mewes on The Simpsons(I'm sure some form of ex-ABC's Clerks can appear there-Mewes would look so good in yellow and so would you) or do a comedy sketch on Mad TV along with Mewes(it would be hilarious if you guys did one with Mad Tv characters Ms. Swan or Lurleen not as your VA characters but as yourselves). Can you at least do that? All I would like (and your fans would like) is for you and Mewes to tap into your comic impulses once more to show us that comedy is still your forte. Please consider these requests.

Are you sure you're 28?
