What the hell? That trailer made it look awful. It may just be my disliking towards Affleck, but I thought it looked terrible. Didn't seem like Smith had brought anything of his own into it, he did write it, right? Nothing in this sounded very Smithish to me.

the opening line about george michael or whatever sounded like him. so did the jokes about showing each other their private parts.

It simply looks like his first grown-up movie, that's all.

My problem with Kevin Smith: none of his movies deserve to be movies. Directorally, Smith doesn't really do anything interesting. They'd all work better as comic books.

He's an okay writer though.

the trailer has been removed b/c it wasn't an official 'trailer' just a promo that was used a few months ago.

Ben had to say this in an interview

Have you seen Jersey Girl yet?

I have.
Are you concerned about the delays?

The short answer is no. I've seen the movie and it's maybe my favorite movie that I've ever made. I really dig this one, this is great but Jersey Girl is beautiful and really an incredibly wonderful story. What I think will be interesting is the fact that Jen is in about the first 10 or 15 minutes and I think it will go to show really that what it comes down to is that the movie works or it doesn't. Gigli was the Ishtar of our times because it didn't work and it had a lot of attention. I do nothing small. If it fails, I go down in flame of glory. I'm like the guy who calls in artillery on his own position, like "F*ck it, bring it, send it in, we're over-run."

Reminds me of this: "What can you expect when you're on top? You know? It's like Napoleon. When he was the king, you know, people were just constantly trying to conquer him, you know, in the Roman Empire. So, it's history repeating itself all over again."
