Kevin Smith's "porno" film.

[genkav]

some people can be really stuck up:

Kevin Smith's upcoming release, "Zack and Miri make a Porno" has run into a bit of trouble. Certain billboards and tv ad placements have received complaints and subsequently banned for containing the word "porno" in it.

Movie synopsis:

"Zack and Miri are two lifelong friends who are deep in debt and enlist the help of their friends to make a porno movie for some quick cash. But as everybody starts "doing" everybody, Zack and Miri realize that they may have more feelings for each other than they previously thought."

You'd figure most kids these days already know what it means...it's a viable option for the future. good money?

One complaint came from a man watching a game in September with his young son, who did not understand a suicide-squeeze bunt the Dodgers tried, Rawitch said.

"He was explaining to his son what a squeeze bunt was. Commercial break, the ad comes on, and the kid asks, `Dad, what does porno mean?'" Rawitch said. "Dodgers baseball has always been about family, and we've always been sensitive to the type of advertising that runs on our games."

For one awful minute I thought the past his prime director Smith was starring in a porno!!!!

Yeah I heard about this movie a couple months ago, Kevin Smith's movies are usually a bit hit and miss, so lets see how this one pans out.

I wish society would loosen the fuck up! the word porno has everybodies panties in a bunch? FFS. kids see and hear worse in the school yard that are just as bad if not worse than seeing or hearing the word porno on a billboard or a commercial!! :eek:

Parents can sheild, and protect there kids to a certain point but sooner or later the KIDS are gonna see and hear things I would rather as a, or have a parent expaining too my kid, INSTEAD of some dumb naive kid my own kids age expainin and tellin em' what stuff means!!

I can see why they would ban it. Just make the ad only play after 9pm... Simple.
If your kid is watching TV after 9pm, then it's your fault if he learns the word "porn".

This is gonna make even more publicity for the movie though, so I'm sure Kevin Smith is happy.

I think Elizabeth Banks is the kind of material that should be covered in Spank Bank 101, but this movie looks like garbage. Seth Rogen needs to suck balls and disappear for a while. I'm tired of him.

I saw that movie being filmed last year. There were camera crews at Kennywood amusement park, and that's just a few miles from me.

I hope that guys kid doesn't start reading through the dictionary or watch the news before he's an adult. He might have to actually explain what real life words mean. :1orglaugh

If it's got Tits, I'll watch it

maybe he's right, but it's shameless self-promotion and it reeks of desperation. It's obvious that he just gave the movie that title so that it would generate controversy and people would hear about it. There's no way that Smith, who has had to deal with censorship from the MPAA and others for all of his movies, would really believe that there would not be a problem with having the word "porno" appear in thirty foot letters on billboards and such.

I loved this movie, Kevin smith is a great director. Rogan, Mewes, and Long are great improv artists. and Elizabeth Banks is HOT!!!

It's sickening how whiney everyone has become with the smallest of things. Who cares if it has the word porno in the title. Honestly, we've all grown up and seen some of the worst things through our lives, and there's no way you can protect your children from seeing the same stuff. Ignorance breeds anger.

Kevin Smith's last spasm. It had a few laughs. You get to see Jason's willie. Oooo. Actually one of the first times you ever see a p*!%s in a Hollywood movie, btw.
And Katie Morgan ROCKED.

You're always grumpy.....
