I’ve known for a while that people either love or hate Kevin Smith movies (Clerks, Mallrats, Chasing Amy, Dogma, Jersey Girl, and of course Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back). With the exception of Jersey Girl, which I haven’t seen, I fall in to the LOVE category. I think Clerks is hilarious, Dogma is smart, daring and funny, Chasing Amy is a classic and J&SB Strike Back is ridiculous and hilarious all at the same time. But, if you don’t like his previous movies, you are probably going to want to stay away from his new project, Zack and Miri Make a Porno.
The premise is simple: Long time friends need money so they decide to make a porno, hilarity ensues. Cut, Print it.
I have been reading for months that they had been having trouble getting the MPAA to give it an “R” rating rather than an “NC-17″ rating, which would kill box office sales. Then, early in August Kevin Smith went before the ratings board and appealed their ruling after they had made several cuts to the original movie. This appeal worked and the movie was finally granted an R rating.
And now, finally, after waiting several months, here is the VERY MUCH NSFW red band teaser trailer for Zack and Miri Make a Porno.
So now I have 2 movies that I can not wait to see in October. Chuck Palahniuk’s Choke comes out on the 3rd and Zack and Miri hit the screen near Halloween. I’m down for seeing both on opening day. Hit me up and we’ll make some plans.
Looks like it's worth seeing, all right. Not too many films have The Archies music in the soundtrack. But I've kind of had enough of Seth Rogan–maybe he should shave his head and take on a Philip Seymour Hoffman-esque serious role.
Like your blog! One a day for 30 days–pretty ambitious!
@Linda Lou – Thanks for stopping by! You are not the first person I've heard lately tell me they are tired of Seth Rogan. I don't know what it is about him, but I find him freakin' hilarious. He's my favorite character in 40 Year-old Virgin. As for Kevin Smith movies though, holy crap, I'm 1 step away from being a FanBoy.
As for the 30 day challenge, it's not really that challenging. That's the funny part about it. I enjoy blogging. This is just a way to get in the habit of blogging regularly. Last night I wrote 2 posts and just post dated one of them for today. Any evening I can pull that off just puts me that much closer to completing the month.
Can't wait to see this! Looks absolutely hilarious!
@Stacie Yeah, no kidding. "Star Whores". How can you possibly go wrong?? Ha!
Thanks for checking out the site.
