Zack and Miri gets R! Aug. 5, 2008
Source: Associated Press   by: Mike Sampson

Happy days! On a day when one film is being censored, another is overcoming the man to reach the masses. It was well-publicized last month when Kevin Smith's ZACK AND MIRI MAKE A PORNO received an NC-17 from the MPAA (of course The Weinstein Co. did all they could to publicize that fact). Kevin vowed to fight the rating without making any cuts to the film (a la CLERKS) and that he did and he was successful! According to the MPAA, the rating was revised after the group's appeals board give ZACK AND MIRI another viewing and apparently came to the conclusion that the original rating was full of shit. Kevin has said that he may still cut his film but it would be for timing and comedic effect not because the MPAA said it wasn't proper for people under the age of 17. So a win for the little guy today! ZACK AND MIRI hits theaters on the odd date of Halloween.

Extra Tidbit: How many of Kevin Smith's movies have at one point received NC-17 ratings?

Actually, Clerks wasn't the only one Jay and Silent Bon initially got NC-17, due mostly in part because of Semen jokes. Parts of the George Carlin hitch hiking scene had to be cut to bring down to R. You can see Kevin Smith and Mewes talking about it on the DVD deleted scenes. MPAA doesnt like male fluid dicussion or anything of the sort. Glad to see this got an R, and Im also glad shit got cut so we have content for an Unrated dvd. Go Kevin!

If he cuts anything even for pacing, won't the new version have to be submitted to the MPAA again? And won't that mean they'll get another chance to slap it with NC-17, since it is apparently borderline? Cause that would be amusing.

Has anyone heard if this is supposed to be slapsticky Kevin Smith (ala J&S Strike Back) or smart Kevin Smith (ala Clerks, Chasing Amy)? I don't know if I should be looking forward to this, or be preparing to be annoyed by it.

Well, if he did cut 15 mins, and it's still good, the unrated dvd that's sure to follow will only be that much better.

And the reason his fans like him is because he actually likes his fans right back.

man, i really dont get why Kevin Smith has so many passionate fans, his movies are average at best, in my opinion, and all this fuss for a rating decision is plain ridiculous

ooooooooooh.

Wow. Kevin Smith's publicity machine has really hooked you guys. I'd hate for what I'm sure is a brilliant piece of film to be seen by anyone other than his loyal fans.
