Isn't he already married to a woman who's too good-looking to be in his league, thus fulfilling his fanboy fantasy on a near nightly basis? (A fact that he reminds us all of endlessly in various interviews, appearances, and "Evenings with Kevin Smith" Q&A sessions. Hell he even casts her in his films and has shot semi nude photos of her for Playboy.)jbeall wrote: Seth Rogen dresses up as Kevin Smith to fulfill the latter's fanboy fantasy of sleeping with a woman who's too good-looking to be in his league. How original.

I guess... Skinny-as-a-rail doesn't necessarily equal good-looking in my book, and I've never found his wife all that attractive. But then he's married to her, so his opinion matters a little more than mine.
I could generalize here about folks whose tastes have been changed, probably for the worse, by spending too much time online and too little time interacting with actual people, but that's old hat. What's amusing/sad here is that Smith tries to make his real-life wife into a fantasy object by exploiting her as if she's a fantasy girl, which clearly nobody's buying except Smith himself. Sometimes these comix geeks are worse than frat boys.

You can stop petitioning the MPAA and finally get some sleep tonight - the film has been given an R-rating on appeal.

Couldn't find this thread last night - here's the trailer.
This is the second Weinstein film this year that was directed by no one.

Here's the banned poster (in the US anyway).
And here's a new red band trailer, in which (unsurprisingly) the funniest thing in it is Craig Robinson.

It doesn't look anything like either one of them are receiving oral sex at all, too... they're just standing there with photoshopped heads in front of them. Pretty glad it's been banned.
Who would want to lift an idea from this movie, I have no idea, but it brings back horrible memories of:
Although it is quite odd that the Zack and Miri poster would be banned, when this one, featuring a shirtless person making a face like they're proudly being blown, wasn't banned.
As for the trailer... eh. Here's hoping there's a lot of funny improv and riffing, because the faint stench of Smith's stale dialogue is spattered throughout. I still do like Seth Rogen and [to a lesser extent] Elizabeth Banks enough to see this, though.

Say what you will about Kevin Smith, but this is pretty clever.

Ugh, Kevin Smith can't even make the fake making-of short funny.

I'm a fan of his, but he's hard to defend, or I'm just embarrassed to? This could be good..I like all his others, but the premise and trailer do not interest me (seems like parody of Be Kind Rewind). I'll be there to see it though, and if it does suck, I will assume it is Smith's unconscious way of sabotaging himself to having to make another Jay and Silent Bob film.
