TIFF ‘08 Reporter’s Notebook: Kevin Smith on Canadian Critics, Brad & Jen’s Avoidance Techniques
(E! Online)
E! Online - • Kevin Smith figures there’s one thing wrong with bringing a movie to the Toronto Film Fest: The audiences are way too polite.
"In Toronto, nobody turns their nose up at almost anything," said Smith, in town to hype his latest comedy, Zack and Miri Make a Porno, starring Seth Rogen and Elizabeth Banks.
"If you tank in Toronto, then something's seriously wrong with that movie."

'Zack and Miri Make a Porno' Trailer is Sort of Funny?
Speaking as someone who can barely tolerate the Kevin Smith catalog, I hate to admit it, but judging by this trailer, Zack and Miri Make a Porno looks pretty palatable, and possibly even funny. In fact, with the heavily Apatowian cast and joke-stylings, I'd barely be able to identify this as a Smith film if it weren't for the expected cameos by Jason Mewes and Clerk. If nothing else, I recommend watching to at least hear The Office's Craig Robinson say "a Star War." It might be lifted from Arrested Developm

'Zank And Miri' Poster Pulled
MPAA vs. Kevin Smith: Round 3After the Motion Picture Association of America granted Smith's latest flick, Zack & Miri Make A Porno, with an "R" rating from their previous "NC 17" slam, they have now decided to ban the promo posters for the film. As described by IMDB's report, the posters displayed "the two stars, Seth Rogen and Elizabeth Banks in split images, fully clothed, with a tuft of hair at the bottom of the two pictures at about crotch level.""I understa
'Gimme a head with hair'
So sang the cast of the musical Hair more than 40 years ago. But it's a command that's fallen on deaf ears at the Motion Picture Association of America. Yesterday, the U.S. ratings board confirmed that it has banned the poster for the new Kevin Smith film, Zack and Miri Make a Porno, which has its world premiere Sunday at the Festival.

‘Zack and Miri Make a Porno’ Trailer: Kevin Smith Makes a Porny Apatow Movie
Tagline: These are the exact circumstances people find themselves in right before they start having sex for money.
Translation: Or writing another Clerks sequel, we'd imagine.
The Verdict: This new "red-band" trailer for Zack and Miri Make a Porno — the Kevin Smith movie about roommates Seth Rogen and Elizabeth Banks who, well, you know — wastes no time taking advantage of its expanded freedom of speech. (Zingers abound, but our favorite: "Why the fuck aren't we watching that right now?") Th
New Movie Trailer: “Zack and Miri Make a Porno”

Movie Review: Kevin Smith’s Zack and Miri Make a Porno
I have a theory that Kevin Smith’s Zack and Miri Make a Porno is actually just a chronology of Smith’s career so far as a filmmaker. The film starts off much like Clerks, with Seth Rogen trying to wake up for his dreadful job. Minutes later he is walking through the local mall with his roommate and best friend Miri, played by Elizabeth Banks, in a scene that is reminiscent of Mallrats. The high school reunion sequence that follows feels oh so Chasing Amy. And when Zack and Miri must band togethe
Elizabeth Banks feels that bodily fluids are “all equal” when rating a film.
Elizabeth Banks has a few choice words for the members of the The Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA). We told you about her film ‘Zack and Miri Make a Porno’ winning an appeal to lower its U.S. cinema rating.
Banks and co-star Seth Rogen’s racy new comedy was initially slapped with an adults-only NC-17 certification, which would have prohibited people younger than 17 from seeing the film.
Filmmaker Kevin Smith, fought the MPAA decision and won the appeal.
