going to play Green Hornet.
Isn't it kinda trippy to be making the cinematic realization of a classic title?
Like, The Green Hornet, on screen, will be "Kevin Smith's Green Hornet."
Feel the power.
That's awesome. How is interpreting an already existing property different than creating a property out of your imagination?
I regret not being able to make it to the Jersey Girl press hoo-ha. It would be interesting to see what "professionals" ask you in comparison to what fans ask.
How do you feel about the sudden explosion of Atkins-friendly products and the "shocking revelation" about Atkin's health at the time of his death?
THAT would make for a compelling quote.
Anyway, if Ben Affleck is single now, let him know, so am I. I just found out that Paul Rudd is married, to a woman. So I need to find a new celebrity crush.
Speaking of Ben and you. I finally saw Daredevil. You may not think of yourself as an actor, but I thought you did a good job with your role.
And that was the best role I've seen Ben play. I'm not a big fan of most of his movies. After the hair changed and the little belly went away, things just got weirdly generic but Ben's Daredevil was transcendent and not driven by the actor's personality. You know, when they cast someone as themself as the character to trade on the perceived personality of the actor rather than on the actor's skill at creating the character they are hired to portray.
I wonder if playing blind just let him naturally express an interior life in a character, whereas many of his other roles, the characters didn't have an interior life.
I really should just ask you these things at Q and A's. I just love more to hear what other people want you to talk about.
