JERSEY GIRL DIARY
No, not mine. (Though I'm sure I could muster up a few interesting yarns from good ol' Monmouth County.) This one is director Kevin Smith's sort-of-blog-more-like-column (his unedited voice, but the posts are few (3) and far (months) between) dishing about the making of Jersey Girl.
"Up first, my wife made out with Jason Biggs, as Affleck looked on. Shortly after that, we started shooting the actual scene."
Tucked around the effusive praise for his own movie, you can pick out some interesting production tidbits (No, not celebrities uncensored garbage. Useful stuff like why there's a production company created for every new film.) and photos.
If you're not a fan of the f-word, you may want to have a relaxing cocktail before you read Smith's columns. (And possibly reconsider even being online, for that matter.)
I've liked a few of Kevin Smith's films (Dogma, Chasing Amy) and not-so-much liked a few (Mallrats), but I'm willing to give this one a shot (the trailer piques my interest). Especially with Kevin's money back guarantee:
"If you're not satisfied, I'd be willing to stand at the door of theaters and be like, 'You don't have to pay.'"

If only Ang Lee had made that promise for The Hulk.
