: ...I haven't seen Scooby Doo, so I have no reaon to dislike it. And God help me if I start looking down on people for their choice in movies, I admitted to liking Freddie Got Fingered on this very board. I really wanted to ask you about the weight loss, though. You seem to be having success, do you have any tips for other would-be skinny people?
:
: : ...then this will definitely do it.
: : I rather liked "Scooby Doo."
: : Since I have a kid, I've seen it twice already (screenings within hours
: : of one another, no less). Matthew Lillard deserves an Oscar for that
: : Shaggy performance. Linda Cardellini (sp?) couldn't have sounded/
: : looked more like Velma. Even FPJ couldn't sink the picture (SMG, on
: : the other hand, gave the same performance I've seen her give in the
: : three episodes of "Buffy" I've ever watched, the "Sex in the City"
: : episode she popped up in, the teen horror/comedy flicks I've peeped
: : her in, and her SNL appearance; there were probably better Daphnes
: : out there, and based on the two kid-packed audiences I saw it with,
: : nobody was there for anything but the digi-Doo, so they could've
: : saved some coin on whatever they had to dish out to get her into the
: : picture). It's a cute flick, that adheres as closely to the cartoons as
: : they probably could while still making it tolerable for those over ten
: : years old. I went into the first screening, cock-sure that I was in for
: : ninety minutes of torture, but was really pleasantly surprised. Should
: : have expected as much, as Raja Gosnell (sp?) also helmed "Mystery
: : Men" - a movie that's so insanely watchable, it's always on top of the
: : DVD player in the bedroom.
: : Switching gears, I've seen some curiosity about the future of this
: : place now that Movie Poop Shoot is launching. Rest assured,
: : nothing's going to happen to our board. Poop Shoot is going to be a
: : fun read every day, but this place will always be home. Think of Poop
: : Shoot as a non-Kev-oriented News Askew; and News Askew didn't
: : compromise the board, so why should Poop Shoot?
: : Saw the box art for the "Silent Bob Speaks: An Evening With Kevin
: : Smith" DVD. Pretty sweet. It's looking like late Jan/early Feb for
: : release.
: : Anyone else see that "Road to Perdition" trailer. They might as well
: : call it "Road to My Fucking Wallet" - because is the movie's half as
: : good as the trailer, I'm gonna see the fuck out of that movie. Paul
: : Newman rules; an evil Paul Newman rules even harder.
: : Going to the "Lilo and Stitch" premiere tomorrow (again - the kid).
: : They closed down Hollywood Blvd. between Highland and Orange for
: : it. Heavens.
: : The IFC asked me to take over the "Escape From Hollywood" hosting
: : duties from the late Ted Demme. It's essentially me introducing and
: : cracking wise about a bunch of better movies than mine. I tape the
: : first round of intros at the start of July, but I don't know when they'll
: : start airing. I'll keep you posted, though.
: : On Leno the 25th to promote "Spider-Man/Black Cat". The Dodsons
: : deserve all the praise for this book. It's gorgeous. Pick it up on the
: : 26th (or over-pay for it by ordering your signed copy now, at Jay and
: : Silent Bob's Secret Stash Online!).
: : Heading to Seattle on Monday and Tuesday for the next "Roadside"
: : Leno gig. If you live in the Emerald City, keep your eyes peeled for a
: : slightly-less-overweight guy in a sleeveless, hooded sweatshirt.
: : That's about it for now. Remember: Monday is Poop-erific. Stop by
: : the Shoot to see what we do with our spare time around these parts.
: : And for the curious...
: : Yes - Jennifer Lopez is still in "Jersey Girl."
