ZACK AND MIRI MAKE A PORNO

(0:08) Elizabeth Banks is in the back room of a coffee shop trying on outfits. She strips down to her bra and panties while two kids record her with a cell phone. We see a shot of her in her bra on the cell phone while trying on a yellow outfit. Then there’s another non-phone shot of her in her bra again as she tries on another.

(0:23) We see Elizabeth Banks again on the cell phone in her bra and panties.

(0:28) Elizabeth Banks is in a sexy outfit licking a beer bottle as Seth Rogen has the inspiration for making the porno.

(0:37) A girl auditioning for the porno takes off her outfit for Craig Robinson and we see her breasts and bush.

(0:38) We see the butt and breasts of various strippers telling Rogen and Banks what they won’t do in a porno.

(0:39) Traci Lords auditions and much of her bra is showing out of her shirt.

(0:44) During a montage of all the actors dressed up for the porn parody “Star Whores”, we see Katie Morgan in a black bra-and-panties Darth Vader costume, Traci Lords in a sexy C-3PO outfit and Elizabeth Banks as Princess “Lay-Her” in the familiar sheer white outfit and we can see her bra and panties underneath.

(0:53) Katie Morgan is behind the coffee counter with her breasts exposed. When she hops on the counter we see her panties underneath her apron. Jason Mewes begins screwing her on top and then from behind. A customer comes in and interrupts them and Mewes goes right back to screwing Morgan.

(0:57) Traci Lords is in her bra giving it to a guy from behind.

(1:03) Elizabeth Banks is filming her porno scene. Her shirt is partially open, revealing her bra.

(1:34) Traci Lords and Katie Morgan are in lingerie during a Zack & Miri promotional video.

And there ya go. Thanks to our scooper and the mighty Mr. Skin for the report.

Watch for more promotional stuff like this as October rolls in, and we start the 31 day countdown to biggest View Askew flick yet!

“…having broken free of the desire to do something different than his small little potty mouthed Jersey films, he instead embraced his place in the environs of the film scene and created the single best piece of film he’s turned out since Chasing Amy. Make no mistake, Zack and Miri Make a Porno is every bit Kevin Smith as you’d expect. There are all manner of sex and scat jokes – even the occasional gross out bit. Pop culture references drop out of the mouths of his cast almost as often as expletives. And there are appearances by a number of old favorites, including the ever present Jason Mewes. And yet, by freeing himself of trying to be something that he is not, he has actually managed to elevate the material to make what on the surface appears to be one of the most juvenile attempts at humor this year into something deep, heartfelt and positively adorable.”

AIR CANADA FCKS ME! EDMONTON GIG CANCELLED!

Fucking Air Canada locked me out of my fucking flight even though I was in the terminal at 9:48 for an 11:05 flight! After waiting in a line for fifteen minutes, with no announcement that they were closing my Edmonton flight, I get to the desk, where I’m told it’s too late: I’m locked out of the flight. And when I’m like “I’ll ditch my luggage. Can’t I just get my boarding pass so I can get on that plane?” I’m told “No. They won’t let me ticket you. The flight’s closed.”

And there were still 20 minutes to go before they even started boarding, and 50 MINUTES before the flight even took off!

I’m sorry: I fucking hate Air Canada.

After all that time wasted at the Air Canada desk, desperately trying to get someone to do the right thing, I ran around from airlines to airlines (fat sweaty man, two cumbersome bags) trying to get to Edmonton before 7pm. The best anyone could do was get me there by 10-ish. I offered to start the Q&A then, but understandably, the folks running the gig felt that by the time I got through customs and hauled ass from the airport, we were looking at a close to 11 o’clock start time.

So the gig’s been called off.

Makeup date has already been chosen: Wednesday, OCTOBER 8TH.

My apologies folks. My bags were packed the night before, and I left for the airport with more than enough time. I was in the terminal with time to spare before the cut-off (and, I mean, a full hour they cut that shit off at? Jesus…), and still, I wasn’t allowed on the plane. I offered to ditch my luggage, and still I wasn’t allowed on the plane. Air Canada can suck it.

NO SHOW TONIGHT. Q&A’S BEEN MOVED TO OCTOBER 8TH.

Calgarians: this won’t effect your show on Tuesday. Rest assured, I WILL BOOK UNDER A DIFFERENT AIRLINES and make sure I’m there, in Calgary, with time to spare.

And there ya have it, folks — More news later, we just wanted to get this out there ASAP for those of you who don’t follow the blog sites regularly, especially if you are ticketed for tonight’s gig. We assume calling the venue will get you any details on the new date, or refund info if you can’t make it – Typically you’ll be issued a new ticket or your current ticket will work on the 8th, but we can’t say for certain how they’ll handle it (but don’t take it out on them, strictly the airline’s fault this time, nothing to to with Kev or the venue).

Ron’s also got fresh stock of those coveted Zombies jerseys, stickers, and more. Stop into Stash West, the coolest comic book and swag store inside the coolest DVD and media store in all the land. If you’re local make it your only stop for all your media needs.

Not in the area? Hit up the Secret Stash website for all the latest goodies. In addition to the stuff we mentioned above, they’re also taking pre-orders for SIGNNED “Threevening” DVDs, signed “Zack And Miri Make a Porno” theatrical posters, and more. We want this stuff bad, so we’re sure that you do as well. Look for some fantastic sales there AND inside Laser Blazer as well. Remember, Christmas is just around the corner. Happy shopping.

Popgrind caught wind of the news and erroneously reported that MGM wanted to drop the movie and all association with it, sort of a one-way yanking. Very one sided and just not true. Plus, they said we’re BLOGGING it here. Bloggers? Us? Nah! How dare they. We’re an official news site, darn it!

Clearing this up, The Business Sheet runs a piece titled “Did Harvey Weinstein Order A Hit On MGM’s Logo?”, citing our quote along with a humorous photo of Harvey on the phone (calling in the “hit”, we guess). Funny. They have since updated their story with a clarification though, which we’ll run here:

UPDATE: According to an MGM spokesman, who just called us, the studio’s distribution deal with the Weinstein Company will expire at the end of 2008. So, as part of the process of winding down the deal, MGM took all remaining Weinstein Company titles for the year off of their release schedule, including Zack and Miri, and returned the films to Harvey’s headquarters. This move is consistent with MGM’s effort to re-establish itself as a full-fledged studio that produces and distributes its own films.

Other sites are simply picking up news of the split today. Variety (via Mania) runs the piece once again citing “Zack And Miri” along with another flick we’re looking forward to, “The Road”. If nothing else, this gives us even MORE press and continues to fulfill the prophecy that every View Askew release comes with some sort of controversial news story sometime before it hits theaters.

Hopefully this sets everything straight and explains the departure of the two companies. We of course speak for all when we wish MGM well, and of course look forward to The Weinstein Co’s great success when “Zack And Miri” storm the box office next month.
