: My aunt's from Johnstown. Small world, huh?
: : 1. Miramax has just handed you The Green Hornet. Any ideas as far as casting goes?
: Nothing anywhere near to set in stone.

: : 2. How does Jersey Girl measure up to your previous work with such highly esteemed and genious intellectual comedies like Chasing Amy, and Dogma?

: But they're wrong. Just because something's been talked about for a long time... doesn't mean that there isn't a lot more to say. What he says, what the project says, is more beautiful more heartfelt and more honest than anything we've seen in a long time.

: Carlin's had those chops for a long long time. He's deserved a shot at a mostly-dramatic role of substance since long before Keanu.
: Have you read his books? There's the sad and serious soul of a bleeding heart who was failed by the damned human race and its idiocy under the funny.
