Zach and Miri?…

September 3, 2008

A lot of hububaloo is going around on the net recently about the upcoming Kevin Smith directed comedy about two broke friends who decide to make a Porno to pay the bills. It stars Seth Rogen and Elizabeth Banks.

Now Im starting to think that the MPAA is full of a large contingent of very “special” people. A lot of their complaints about the film is that it contains some “Gratuitous Sexual Content” which I cant support or deny sinice I havent seen the movie. However one thing I can come down on them for is their ban of this poster from US theaters…

Now honestly… is this poster really suggestive enough that your five year old while walking past it is going to be irrevocably damaged by its imagery? Im thinking probably not, now I know that the purpose of the MPAA isnt only to protect children, but this poster is subtle and tasteful in its execution.

So I will reserve my judgement of the MPAA’s hububaloo over the content of this film, but I certainly can say that this is just a joke, the only thing they are going to achieve is to drum up more publicity for the upcoming October 31 release of this film.

The good news however is that this poster will be released in Canadian theaters… so those of us fortunate enough to live in Canada will have the chance to enjoy it!
