Kevin,
See if you can pick me up a pirated version of Jersey Girl.
FrogprintS.
: It's something like four or five in the a.m. here on Monday morning in Japan, and in
: a few hours I start the first of two days of press for a movie we made two years ago.
: What a weird way to get to see the world. Haven't been back here since we came
: over with Sundance back in '94. Such a great and strange culture. Bought a video
: of this pink cartoon bear named Gloomy, who goes from cuddly to vicious, as he
: bears his claws and attacks a little boy character repeatedly. Only in Japan...
: The folks at GaGa (the Japanese distribution company) showed me their poster for
: "Jay and Silent Bob" which is this insane anime' affair that made me think of "Bear
: is driving." I've gotta say, it's the best poster ever made for any of our flicks.
: Some of the critics (and folks on this board) have not been kind to "Daredevil" but I
: dug the hell out of it. Affleck killed, and the fact that Mark Stephen Johnson was
: able to duplicate Quesada's rendition of the billy club's cable (during the suiting-up
: montage and that closing shot rendition of our first issue's cover) made me happier
: than hell. I'm so glad it had a huge opening weekend. Now we'll get to see at least
: one more "Daredevil" flick, if not a bunch of them.
: We have a "Jersey Girl" test screening coming up next week, somewhere in the
: mid-west. Shortly after that, we'll test on the west coast, and then start final mixing.
: The film will be done, multiple prints and all, in early May. Then, we'll sit with our
: hands folded until November (no pre-"Gigli" release for us after all). God willing,
: Harvey moves us off that November 7th date. I don't want to be anywhere near
: "Matrix Revolutions." If we come out on the same day, even I'M going to see
: "Matrix." That trailer is phenomenal.
: Saw the first and only lackluster review that I'm aware of for "An Evening With..."
: Can't win 'em all, I guess. For the curious, said review is at...
: http://www.razormagazine.com/reviews-movies.php
: I've seen the "Mallrats" series of Inaction Figures. They're pretty fucking sweet.
: Also saw another Clete Shields cold-cast statue, this time of Brodie. It's really
: terrific. I know the cold-casts haven't been everyone's cup of tea, but I dig 'em.
: Watched a pretty fascinating documentary about Amish kids running amuck called
: "The Devil's Playground." If you see it anywhere, give it a shot. It's really good and
: never boring.
: Also been reading that oral history of "SNL" book, which is a great read, if you were
: ever, or continue to be, a fan of the show.
: That's about all I have to report. I'm gonna try to go back to sleep now. Sayonara.
