Jun 6 2007Kevin Smith Makes Porn 'Comedy'
Is that Joey Lauren Adams? Damn that bitch is annoying.
In an interview with The LA Times, Kevin Smith talks about his latest project, Zack and Miri Make a Porno:
"A bawdy sex comedy with heart," as Smith describes the just-completed script, "Zack and Miri" is about two friends who have managed to trudge into their 30s with a satisfying lack of accomplishment [Vince's note: Shocking subject matter for a Kevin Smith movie, for sure]. But a 15-year high school reunion and dire rent problems spark the novel moneymaking idea of pulling together an amateur porn enterprise. As for where it goes from there, just think of Smith's characteristic sexual verbosity finally coupled with matching imagery.
What can I say, it's not exactly a novel idea, unless if by novel you mean Porno, the Irvine Welsh novel, and I've been disappointed by just about every Kevin Smith movie; but what the hell, I'll bite. I guess I'm stupid like that.
I think it's this clip of him talking about Superman that always give me hope for Kevin Smith movies.

Yeah, that clip is the only thing keeping me from outright HATING Smith. "Dogma" is quite possibly the worst movie I've ever seen, and the others are not much better.

My personal least favorite was Chasing Amy. I wanted to punch Joey Lauren Adams in the throat that entire movie.

Can you refrain from putting the word 'comedy' alongside 'Kevin Smith' ? Or at least put comedy in quotes so we know it's not referring to something funny.

Dear Funnier:
Done and done.
Best,

Fantastic. You're much better than the fat guy who runs that 'cool news' site.

Interesting that mr furious hated Dogma the most, cuz that's actually the one I hate the least of them all. heh. But yeah, I'm really not a fan of his movies, but I have seen that whole dvd that that clip is from of him talking about Superman and I think the whole thing is really fantastic, so I'm in the same boat. I just basically want to hang out with him for a while.

I like this guy's work. Love him or hate him, that superman story was funny as hell. I think the porno thing sounds promising. I mean, who hasn't thought about doing some internet porn for some quick easy money?
