: Hello Loyal Posters,
: This is a shout out to my very hard working husband. The man has been dog and ponying it
: from the crack of dawn radio shows to late night T.V for almost two months now. He has put
: his heart and soul into this movie and in two days we can finally begin to close the book on
: what has been a very unexpected wild ride. As most of you know, I married into family View
: Askew during Dogma. While pregnant we faced down the death treats of the Catholic
: League. During Jay and Bob it was the insane accusations of GLADD that we were gay
: bashers. I was so happy while reading Jersey Girl because I naively thought that this would
: be a smooth ride into the box office sunset. Really, a PG-13 movie about a father and
: daugther, no controversy there. Now a survivor of Bennifer and Gigli, I laugh at that silly,
: optimistic girl of two years ago. I realize that we don't have anything close to a sob story life.
: However, Kevin takes his work very personally and it is a direct reflection of where he is at a
: particular moment in his own story. He tried something new with Jersey Girl. I'm very proud
: of him for taking the chance and stepping out of the safe Jay and Bob box to make a very
: simple love story. It doesn't rely on our favorite dick and fart jokes. While a lot of the familiar
: faces are there, they are not playing the beloved Askewniverse characters. I love this movie
: for exactly what it is and you will too. I love my husband even more for making it. I woke up
: this morning and he was gone. I dig what Kevin does to make a living, but during the
: filmmaking process the movie itself takes on an identity of its own. It's like living with his
: mistress and she pays the bills. If this is the closest my husband comes to cheating on me,
: I'm a happy woman. However, glorious, glorious Friday, will you never come!
: Love,
: Jen
