The New ZACK & MIRI MAKE A PORNO - R-rated Red Banned Trailer!!!

This is me not giving a shit about this... by Dingleberry Jones	Sep 2nd, 2008 11:06:41 PM
yawn Kevin Smith, relevancy parted ways with you about 7 years ago.
yikes by greyspecter	Sep 2nd, 2008 11:09:35 PM
i'm...speechles. but it's certainly an Askew production, vis-a-vis the entire cast of clerks hovering in the background.
Seth Rogen is Smith's new Affleck by The Winged Doucheman	Sep 2nd, 2008 11:11:17 PM
Still psyched to see it. F the haters in the A.
I laughed out loud ... by oatmeal2348	Sep 2nd, 2008 11:12:08 PM
and woke up my wife. Am I now obligated to buy everyone some kind of girly drink now?
Looks good by BrightEyes	Sep 2nd, 2008 11:17:42 PM
I want Ben in it though!
It looks funny... by Banzai Rootskibango	Sep 2nd, 2008 11:18:10 PM
...I'm looking forward to it.
let me guess by BrightEyes	Sep 2nd, 2008 11:19:45 PM
Dickblood will be here soon to say Smith is a hack and blah blah blah
I am looking forward to it. by Sparhawk38	Sep 2nd, 2008 11:20:06 PM
I am looking forward to it. I thought I would say it again.
"Is that like a sequel?" by Banzai Rootskibango	Sep 2nd, 2008 11:22:43 PM

...you woke up your wife...now you gotta fuck her...thems the rules.
Why the askmen.com link? by TheMcflyFarm	Sep 2nd, 2008 11:24:28 PM
Is it to confuse people into thinking that don't take 99% of your shit from ign?
At least it's not another fucking Apatow flick by superunknown85	Sep 2nd, 2008 11:25:39 PM
Though it does star some people from his movies. It looks funny though, probably because the guy wrote and directed it actually knows how to make comedies that are funny.
I own Jersey Girl. by Sparhawk38	Sep 2nd, 2008 11:27:21 PM
Lots of people can say that, I suppose....but I have watched mine several times.
Looks good... by shaneo632	Sep 2nd, 2008 11:30:06 PM
Although are the "auditions" just for supporting members of the porno? As in, Zack and Miri are still fucking, right? And I'm guessing they fall in love at the end. Let's hope Smith doesn't Jersey Girl it...
kind of unexpectedly optimistic by Leafy McPlantsalot	Sep 2nd, 2008 11:36:00 PM
i am one of those people that think the real kevin smith killed himself ten minutes after he finished Dogma, but this actually looked pretty good. Hope it's great, would actually love to see kevin Smith not suck anymore.
Smith "riding the Apatow train?" by Elemeno Pee	Sep 2nd, 2008 11:37:06 PM
Why do people keep saying this? He wrote the film for Rogen after seeing his performance in 40 Year Old Virgin... that was before Rogen hit big. That was all Smith knew him from. It was Seth Rogen's idea to cast Banks.
it's red band, not banned! by fatoldegoat	Sep 2nd, 2008 11:38:59 PM

Can he slap her ass a little? by happybunni	Sep 2nd, 2008 11:39:46 PM
Don't be a fucking pervert dude!
... by Harold-Sherbort	Sep 2nd, 2008 11:44:54 PM
I could either take or leave Smith. This looks good though. I think Seth Rogan is funny, and doesn't have his head up his ass like so many other actors. And that Star War bit is fuckin funny.
I must say by macheesmo3	Sep 2nd, 2008 11:46:38 PM
I have been convinced! I was a bit worried that this would just be ,dick joke after dick joke after.... but this looks a bit smarter than that . and just a bit smarter is all i need !
This doesn't look like a kevin smith movie... by The Eskimo	Sep 2nd, 2008 11:46:58 PM
...but it does indeed look like a seth rogen movie. That being said, this didn't do anything for me one way or the other, which is probably a bad sign considering the content.
"Her name Bubbles" by otm shank	Sep 2nd, 2008 11:47:00 PM
That's funny.
so blow a load of disappointment all over my face. by The Eskimo	Sep 2nd, 2008 11:49:25 PM

Anyone think that this movie might be better... by The Eskimo	Sep 2nd, 2008 11:50:43 PM
....if they just skipped the film entirely and just showed Kevin Smith talking about it at some community college somewhere.
hmm by slkboxrman	Sep 2nd, 2008 11:51:14 PM
what was wrong with jersey girl ? thought it was a great movie....was glad when they killed off jennifer lopez early ...lol...id rather loook at liv anyways...im sure we all wish one day some woman we barely know wants to drag us home to have sex cuz we aint had none in like 10 yrs...lol
wow im surprised by imascooby1985	Sep 3rd, 2008 12:01:03 AM
Not by the trailer. I expected it to be hilarious and it was. Im surprised this talkback isnt filled with a million people undeservedly ripping Smith a new asshole. Lets keep it up
Lawrence Of A Labia by Jay Mammoth	Sep 3rd, 2008 12:04:39 AM
LOL Can't wait to see this, Kev you rock fuck the haters.
I've got a new name for these types of movies................... by Riley Martin	Sep 3rd, 2008 12:07:47 AM
GHICK FLICKS. See how it rolls off the tongue? I guess it all started with the 40 Year Old Virgin, but you could possibly attribute ghick flicks to any Happy Madison production as well. These are movies which are vulgar enough for guys to enjoy, but in the end really turn out to have a heart of gold, something for the chicks to get into. Quite ingenious really....
... by Harold-Sherbort	Sep 3rd, 2008 12:14:00 AM
I don't understand the hate for Smith either. I understand how you could hate his movies, but people treat him like he directed Mac and Me. Maybe the guy isn't the most consistent filmmaker, but he doesn't seem like a bad guy. And after 15 or whatever years of Clerks being out, it's still a pretty funny movie. And yes, I wasn't that offended by Jersey Girl. Dogma will always be my favorite though. To each their own.
they'll only make hypothetical dollars with their porno by Jonah_Lamu	Sep 3rd, 2008 12:22:26 AM
looks alright, not really funny but I do like the dynamic of the relationship between the two leads.
it looks funny by slappy jones	Sep 3rd, 2008 12:27:17 AM
it looks great. I have not liked a smith film in a long time but i'm sold.
COO COO 4 COCO COCKS by Broseph	Sep 3rd, 2008 12:45:54 AM

I love all Kevin Smith films and WAS looking forward to this by snomusic	Sep 3rd, 2008 12:47:07 AM
but dang dude - would you PLEASE make a film without a Star Wars reference? Try it! ONCE!
Proof once and for all... by zacdilone	Sep 3rd, 2008 12:57:50 AM
...Kevin Smith cannot make a good film. Not even a porno. I take that back..."Dogma" was good, but anyone can crank out one decent flick. Like George Lucas. Anyway, here's hoping this puts another nail in the coffin of Smith's annoying presence in celluloid.
.. by Harold-Sherbort	Sep 3rd, 2008 12:58:47 AM
I wonder how many people there are that would rather watch Mac and Me over a Kevin Smith movie?
I vote dogma by Leafy McPlantsalot	Sep 3rd, 2008 01:25:07 AM

Mommy, can you get VD from just watching? by la_sith	Sep 3rd, 2008 01:46:52 AM
I knew that would suck. I knew there would be lame Star Wars references, un-fucking-funny dick jokes, recycled actors from previous films, and Seth Rogan's giant pube-y head. Yet I clicked anyway. Shit.
Ha! by Spaz_Monkey	Sep 3rd, 2008 02:06:03 AM
This looks freakin Awesome. I remember listening to the Smodcasts as they were filming this, and there's gonna be a lot of good, funny shit in this movie!
Jesus - same old Kevin Smith Talkback by ian216a	Sep 3rd, 2008 02:15:55 AM
Look - if you don't find his films funny - don't watch his films. Better yet, go out and make your own fucking films. That's what Kevin Smith did.
looks like his most marketable flick to date by billypilgrimisunstuck	Sep 3rd, 2008 02:42:50 AM
color me excited. seems like he's finally done what he should have done years ago: cast funny people.
very good trailer by Bruarvatn	Sep 3rd, 2008 02:46:58 AM
I liked this trailer a lot. I hope and I think this movie will be really funny.

It's Red BAND, not "Banned" by ShiftyEyedDog2	Sep 3rd, 2008 03:12:09 AM
as in Green Band vs. Red Band trailers ...oh, and it's pretty redundant to say R-Rated Red Band. They mean the same damn thing.
Color Me Amazed by Rebeck2	Sep 3rd, 2008 03:13:06 AM
The son of a bitch finally learned how to light a movie. For once, it doesn't have the flat harsh slightly skeevy look of a cable access program! It's looks like, dare I say it, a real movie.
Elizabeth Banks by Merkin Muffley	Sep 3rd, 2008 03:13:28 AM
Is a household name in another, better reality.
Why the fuck is this lame thing rated R ?!?!?!? by Motoko Kusanagi	Sep 3rd, 2008 03:20:04 AM
And why the fuck is Seth Rogen such an unfunny fuckbag?

Great trailer. Fuck you hating fucks. Rogen, Banks and Smith have more fucking talent in their crack hairs than you fucks will ever muster in your entire life.
This is getting really bad reviews out of Toronto by Garbageman33	Sep 3rd, 2008 05:20:58 AM
Where it premieres on Sunday. A sampling: Rarely before has a would-be comedy been so littered with unfunny dirty jokes. Worse yet, there’s far more gooey sentiment than cheerful vulgarity in Kevin Smith’s flaccid attempt to make his own Judd Apatow movie. Zack (Rogen) and Miri (Banks) are Pittsburgh pals who turn to porn to make some bucks but can’t cope when their onscreen sex has off-screen ramifications. Just as the f-bomb-laden dialogue elicits the occasional shocked guffaw, this gang’s Andy Hardy–like efforts to put on a show merits a chuckle or two. But the average Carry On movie displayed more class, sophistication and wit than this egregiously lazy and faux-risque lame-ass-ery.
really not sure what to think... by billyhitchcock	Sep 3rd, 2008 06:04:16 AM
...love KS but it's a total apatow bandwagon jump no matter when he wrote the script and mewes and anderson stick out like a sore thumb with their 'acting skills'.
will see it but... by FILMFUNK	Sep 3rd, 2008 06:10:07 AM
kind of 50/50 with th e trailer?
I'll be the first to either praise or criticize a Smith movie. by beastie	Sep 3rd, 2008 06:20:48 AM
That looked pretty funny which is more than I can say for the teaser. The teaser was not funny at all.
This should be a period piece by I Dunno	Sep 3rd, 2008 06:31:01 AM
Set in the 80's when people still bought porn and "Star Whores" wasn't already done (that has to be the oldest porno movie spoof name ever). But whatever, I'll see it. And I'll try not to be pissed when Elizabeth Banks doesn't get naked. The lead actress that everyone wants to see never gets naked. Unless it's Angelina Jolie in the 1990's.
oh yeah... by billyhitchcock	Sep 3rd, 2008 07:01:42 AM
...and lawrence of a labia is soooooooooooooooo old!
Oh helll... by PowerRing	Sep 3rd, 2008 07:57:29 AM
I spit my coffee at the screen watching this trailer!! Oh shit, I think this movie is going to rock! It has the right talent and the right directer to overcome the fall movie doldrums. I'll be in like to see it!
Apatow V. Smith by R_Sammy	Sep 3rd, 2008 08:13:13 AM
For everyone saying that Smith is ripping off Apatow, It seems that Smith has been trying to make vulgar comedies "with heart" for some time before Apatow became big. Seth Rogen might be what Smith needs to make his movies funny again.
You can't have Star Whores without a Lucas cameo. by Royston Lodge	Sep 3rd, 2008 08:42:12 AM
This movie needs the biggest Star Whore of them all...
That was red band trailer? by HoboCode	Sep 3rd, 2008 08:48:32 AM
Could have fooled me.
Not as funny as "Sex Drive" by TheBigLebowsky	Sep 3rd, 2008 09:07:46 AM
How come I haven't read anything about the movie "Sex Drive" on AICN? The movie stars James Marsden and features Seth Green! And the red band trailer is 100X funnier than "Zack and Miri"'s!... What gives, AICN?
Another crappy review by Garbageman33	Sep 3rd, 2008 09:10:22 AM
Smith's old Clerks star gets shit on his face in a crude scene – and so do the cult director's fans with a movie that blows so hard it makes actual porno look like Fellini. Zack (Rogen) and Miri (Banks) are lifelong pals who make porn to pay their debts, but there's no surprise when they accidentally fall in love between takes. Banks rises above Smith's material, which tediously stretches out what spare potty humour and bankable caricatures he has and lays them bare across the framework of a conventional rom-com. Characters make senseless and maddening decisions, and Smith calls us dumb when he throws in an illogical, manipulative and obvious red herring to divert us from the happy ending we've seen cumming.
Smith is way better than Apatow by superunknown85	Sep 3rd, 2008 09:26:17 AM
Smith doesn't make his movies "cool" and trendy with the latest hip hop/pop songs, references to the latest movies, and generic characters. Clerks, Chasing Amy, and Dogma are far better and more intelligent than anything Apatow has done, and Mallrats, Jay and Silent Bob, and Clerks 2 were at least funny.
Kevin.... by LORDRANDO	Sep 3rd, 2008 09:41:13 AM
You are smart. Its time for re-invention. These fanboy twits are not going to be happy no matter what you do. We put all are cinematic hope in the indie generation, you, Quentin, Rodriguez, etc, and youve ALL repaid us by remaking the same movie over and over again. You were the real maverick in the 90's, completely outside the system...you should be the one to take a bold leap forward and for gods sake just do something different. No comics or culture references, no dick and fart jokes. Assemble all the actors who you gave a career and make a film about the gulf war or politics or even nuns having fun. Anything but the same old stuff. Your better than that! I love smodcast, maybe try some non-fiction doc about Walt Flanigan and the Stash, thats the funniest shit to come out of the Askewniverse in a decade.
HA HA HA HA HA !!! How is that not funny? by Sixtyhurts	Sep 3rd, 2008 10:04:17 AM
You cynical bastards--Come on, Kevin Smith or no, that shit was hilarious. Why don't you remove that shriveled lump of coal you call a heart (and burn it for fuel this winter) and laugh a little...
I'll see it by GiveMeAnFinBreak	Sep 3rd, 2008 10:11:07 AM
That actually looked pretty funny. Besides, Elizabeth Banks is hot.
Who Knows Dick and Pussy Jokes? Kevin "Vagina" Smith that's who by hatespeech	Sep 3rd, 2008 10:12:05 AM
fucking lunchbox knows his pussy jokes.. too bad he doesn't reach a little higher on the torso. Maybe, if he's lucky, by the time he's 60 he can graduate to titty jokes.
.. by hatespeech	Sep 3rd, 2008 10:13:25 AM
Kevin's Next project? A remake of the Waltons, but this time, John Boy tells Dick Jokes in town and gets put in a turkish prison with a stoner room mate. Hillarity ensues!
Has anyone confirmed if Banks shows the by Itchy	Sep 3rd, 2008 10:25:15 AM
titties in this flick ? That's pretty much the only thing that would make me interest in it.
If Banks shows full frontal nudity by stinkyfingerz	Sep 3rd, 2008 10:47:12 AM
I'll forgive the extremely lame nature of this should be funny movie. All you motherfuckers are gonna pay. You are the ones who are the ball-lickers. We're gonna fuck your mothers while you watch and cry like little bitches. Once we get to Hollywood and find those Miramax fucks who are making that movie, we're gonna make 'em eat our shit, then shit out our shit, then eat their shit which is made up of our shit that we made 'em eat. Then you're all you motherfucks are next. Love, Jay and Silent Bob.
Jersey Girl meets Porn by Rupee88	Sep 3rd, 2008 11:13:04 AM
Sadly, I think Jersey Girl is going to win.
Let me get this straight...... by Crackles	Sep 3rd, 2008 12:04:36 PM
Seth Rogen can't be in a movie that's not an Apatow production without it being a rip off?!!! You people are fucking stupid!
Looks good by heyscot	Sep 3rd, 2008 12:06:28 PM
They gave away too much in the trailer, but it looks really funny. The plot: 1. Banks and Rogen are poor and decide to make a porno. 2. They try to cast people but fail, so they decide to do it themselves (too much given away in the trailer). 3. They have problems doing the porno because they've developed feelings for each other. 4. Some deus ex machina crap happens where they are able to solve their financial problem (or live with it) and they also end up together happily ever after. The dialogue looks great, can't wait to see it.
The dialogue looks great? by heyscot	Sep 3rd, 2008 12:07:07 PM
Err. . .uh. . .yeah. . .I mean, it sounds great, heh.
nope. by Harold-Sherbort	Sep 3rd, 2008 12:38:53 PM
I wouldn't "bank" on it. god I'm retarded.
Best Kevin Smith movie ever!! by gusborwig	Sep 3rd, 2008 12:48:45 PM
I wonder how many more cameos Smith got into this movie. If there is a god we will see Jason Lee, Affleck or Carlin in a porn scene in this movie!
You are the ones who are the ball-lickers. by g-ride9000	Sep 3rd, 2008 01:10:22 PM

star whores by gnortsmra	Sep 3rd, 2008 01:21:52 PM
A lot of people are waa-waa-waaing about wanting KS to go out of his comfort zone. So, everyone's forgotten about the "Red State" script then? I get the feeling (based on what little I've read about the script-in-progress) that it will quiet the nattering nabobs of negativism out there.
I'm paralysed with rage........... and rhythm by Avalanchefan	Sep 3rd, 2008 01:38:16 PM
Really looking forward to this. Smith can do no wrong in my eyes.
Kevin still at the top of his game. by knowthyself	Sep 3rd, 2008 01:44:43 PM
Funny shit.
ian216a by dogstar69	Sep 3rd, 2008 01:53:27 PM
Too true, why complain when you can do the same. Smith went into debt too make a movie for himself and his friends. now 15 years later, he's still getting to do what he wants and no amount of talkback complaining is gonna change that, as long as his movies are still turning profit he'll be here for a long time. so please come up with some creative critisisms or shut the fuck up, AICN is a big fuckin site, take all you're bullshit, and dare i say jealousy, off to the next thread. you won't be missed (not very creative i know, but fuck it)
To be perfectly honest... by DeadPanWalking	Sep 3rd, 2008 01:58:29 PM
... I expected worse from Kevin Smith.
This looks terrible by MC Murray B	Sep 3rd, 2008 02:05:56 PM
Why does Kevin Smith have to throw Star Wars into everything. How predictable. Jesus man, learn to branch out a little.
I applaud... by Banzai Rootskibango	Sep 3rd, 2008 02:27:00 PM
...Kevin Smith and Judd Apatow for keeping the R-rated comedy alive and flourishing. I would rather have Kevin Smith and Judd Apatow over "Meet the Spartans" and "Disaster Movie" anyday.
zzzzz... by Samplelord	Sep 3rd, 2008 02:29:47 PM
Another SF flick about a fat nerd with a hot chick,played by a fat nerd, directed by a fat nerd and written by a fat nerd.... When will the Dawn of the Nerds end...?
I'm really excited for this, but.... by Elemeno Pee	Sep 3rd, 2008 02:30:55 PM
He should have made Red State first, to show people he's branching out. Oh well, I do think Red State will be a big step in a new direction, and after that... RANGER DANGER. Sci-fi comedy.

america, how we hate you.
still not loving the lazy smith by future stan	Sep 4th, 2008 07:10:05 AM
he just doesn't have the balls to do anything different. and now that rogen in the new hot stuff in town that can actually do the films that smith has been trying so hard (and ocasionally succeeding, will admit) to do i.e. re-create the joy of the john hughes movies, he gets him in to make his new movie a bit better. the cinematography even looks like a rogen movie. kevin please, grow somwe balls, ignore all the fan boys and geeks that have never seen a real set of tits and move on, you have huge talent, use it!!!
Quin the Eskimo by zacdilone	Sep 4th, 2008 09:04:23 AM
We're not a "strange kind of geek." We're just geeks who appreciate good filmmaking and despise lazy filmmaking. Smith falls into the latter these days. He thinks by throwing a few nods here and there to his geek base, he can get away with making films that have no technical merit, no smart writing, and no cultural savvy at all. As cool as I think the "Monroeville Zombies" jerseys are, I need more than Living Dead references to entertain me. I need quality filmmaking, and Smith isn't cranking that out right now.
