Its still Zack and Miri Make a Porno, some places wont allow adverts like this so they shorten it for that channel/billboard/etc only. The title has NOT changed

yeah I just saw an ad where "make a porno" WAS included, thanks for clearing it up that only SOME channels are being asshats
 
ratings can be very great. detailed descriptions about a movie's contents can help parents and even individuals make the decision of whether to watch a movie or let their children watch it. HOWEVER, its asinine for *theaters* to restrict admittance based on these ratings. it should be FYI only, and leave it at that.

I'm a Kevin Smith fan pretty hardcore, so I had to check into this when the rumors were spreading about
 
It is not he studios that mike the directors submit their movies it is the theater chains. They will not show an unrated movie.If you can't show the movie you can't make any money.
 
Kevin Smith is getting exactly what he wanted when he decided to call it Zack and Miri make a porno, attention.....

This is not correct. The MPAA rating system and the Hayes production codes that preceded it were are production end efforts to self-regulate content in the industry to keep the government's nose out of it. I don't think any of us would like a government panel deciding what is appropriate and what isn't.

Theatre chains will show unrated films, they do so at their own discretion.
 
I just got back from watching it, and even though I've been a lifelong Kevin Smith fan this was mediocre at best. I am disappointed, none of the quick wit and impressive diaglogue of his previous films.
