[Sleuth]

It's still suspicious the way it was hushed up so quickly only to reappear all these months later to be "debunked"

This is really weird, I don't know why but I wanna see this movie so bad now. Now more than ever looking at the website. I gotta say, its actually becoming one of my most anticipated films of the year. I literally can't believe I'm going to be seeing a post-Gigli Ben Affleck/Jlo movie on opening day, lol. I can't even explain why I want to see it but I just really do. It really reminds me of the feeling a good John Hughes movie gives me, watching the trailer I mean. Can't wait for March!

I feel the same way. I love when Kevin Smith does stuff like this (ie chasing amy) Kevin Smith is the best when he does small intimate stuff with people he knows and trusts.

a Kevin Smith movie being anticipated on XIXAX.COM? wow

Yes yes, you know exactly what I mean, I can tell. It's a very comforting sort of movie to see, like it's more than just a feel good movie. It's inexplicable really.

LOL, oh my god, I knew there was some subconcious thing I had going there! That is dead on man, great find you have there. I've never seen that particular Hughes flick but he's somebody who has a very distinct style and it shows there. Lol, I knew there was some connection, thank you.

No problem. Was the first thing that came to mind. Don't have too many good memories of the movie, though.

tagline is hella-lame.

[ono]

tagline is hella-lame.

Taglines are always usually hella-lame.  Even in the best movies.  I can't say always, because Magnolia's tagline seems to defy all that.

[rustinglass]

what was that? "80% chance of rain...something, right?

a whole thread that says otherwise.

[ono]

Things fall down.  People look up.  And when it rains, it pours.

And as for that thread, I'm still not impressed with most taglines.  Usually they border on cheesy rather than saying something profound about the movie.

Affleck & J.Lo Wedding Scene Cut From Jersey Girl

A wedding scene with Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez has been cut from director Kevin Smith's upcoming Jersey Girl, according to Us Weekly magazine.

"I didn't know if (it was right) to leave it in," Smith is quoted as saying in the March 8 issue. "People might forget they're watching a picture, like, 'Wait, didn't these two NOT get married?'"

Affleck and Lopez were supposed to have married last September, but abruptly postponed their lavish plans "due to the excessive media attention surrounding our wedding." They have since ended their engagement.

Jersey Girl, for which the official website (where there is no mention of Lopez either) just opened, is set for release March 26.
