: Anyone going to the University of Kentucky show tonight? I think I might.
: Beautiful country, this. Actually, the immediate area of Lexington that
: I'm in is right up my alley: strip malls, movie theaters, and decent
: hotels. Granted, one can see that almost anywhere in America, but that's
: what I'm all about: geographical generic sameness. It makes me feel safe.
: So let's see, what's been going on? Last week, I popped by the "Daredevil"
: set again, this time solely as a looky-loo, and what I saw, I loved. The
: DD costume is pretty fucking bad-ass. T'was awesome to see it,
: particularly in the setting (Josie's Bar, for those of you into the
: comics). I cannot wait to see this flick - with or without my scene. One
: of my favorite actors playing one of my favorite characters. Color me a
: geeky fan-boy.
: Speaking of being a geeky fan-boy, the Sci-Fi Channel asked me to host
: another "Star Wars" Fan-Film special. Those of you who lurked or posted
: pre-"Jay and Silent Bob" might remember the first Sci-Fi "Star Wars"
: special I hosted from the Secret Stash, about two years ago. Well this
: time, we taped the thing at "Star Wars"
: uber-enthusiast/chronicler/collector Stephen Sansweet's museum out near
: Skywalker Ranch. You wouldn't believe this place - literally every piece
: of "Star Wars" merchandising is accounted for, as well as artwork, props
: from the movies, promotional tie-ins, and costumes. It was mind-bending to
: stroll down memory lane with all the toys and fringe licensed products (the
: Dixie Cups I had for years in our kitchen cabinet, because I wouldn't let
: anybody use them; the Yoda tin bank with combination lock that, in my high
: school years, would be home to the first joint I was ever given). Not sure
: when the show's going to air, but I'll give you a head's-up when they tell
: me the dates.
: Saw the commercials we shot a few weeks ago, all edited and whatnot. Very
: cool.
: But I guess the big news is that Miramax gave "Jersey Girl" the green light
: - which really only means they've started cash-flowing the flick. It's a
: small and not very surprising point, but cool nonetheless. We are now
: official.
: Hope to see some of you tonight, and others of you Wednesday night, in
: Cincinnati.
: And as soon as I can, I'll hip you all to some "Jersey Girl" casting stuff.
: Some interesting and cool stuff is afoot.
