: : Every interview I've seen Ben do, he always thanks Kevin and talks about how great a friend Kevin is and how talented Kevin is. Maybe you caught an interview where he just couldn't fit Kevin in the conversation. Most of those interviews are pre-scripted you know.
: I guess, but I have never heard him thank Kevin once when he has been on Leno.
: Too busy talking about himself, usually...last night he was going on about how many jokes Leno has told about himself and Lopez and their relationship, then he said that Michael Clark Duncan had asked him to "take it easy" on him when he and Affleck were in fighting scenes together, and how much he looked up to Affleck as a great actor. Mike? No way...
: I think about the only thing Affleck told truthfully last night was that Collin Ferrell uses too many curse words in his daily verbalizations, and that he will be back in August to promote "Gigli" with Jennifer Lopez.
: Oh, and that he and Lopez won't be getting married on Valentine's Day, which is also the day that "Daredevil" comes out...
: STILL think either he or Leno could have mentioned Kevin...
: Sorry, I just think Kevin Smith is definitely under-rated as a director/actor/writer/producer/all-around-good-guy when it comes to the people in "Golly-wood"...Matt Damon would be the next in line, but Kevin is definitely further down the list than Matt, because Matt's in too many movies and has his face shown a lot...hangs out too much with Affleck, I guess...
: But then, on the HBO special about the "Making of 'Daredevil,'" Kevin was mentioned. Someone said that the opening scene where DD is sitting on top of the spire with his arms draped around a cross is something that Kevin had written about for a DD comic or book, and another guy (please forgive me for not having his name on the tip of my tongue!) had illustrated it, and the director thought that this was the greatest way to open the movie. I agree...from what I saw of it on the special, it looks good. Don't know about the rest of the movie, but that part looked good.
: Hey, is Kevin IN the movie? I've heard rumors to the possibility that he is...
