Zack and Miri’s Trailer Is Coming Very Soon?
The first Internet trailer for Kevin Smith’s Zack and Miri Make a Porno was supposed to debut on April 28, my seventh wedding anniversary, but Kev decided it wasn’t necessary to send Stephanie and I a gift this year, and on April 28 there was, sadly, no trailer to be found.
But there is hope! News Askew is reporting that the trailer is coming very soon. According to their report, Kevin and his cohorts have been having some trouble with the audio portion of the trailer, but as soon as they have that figured out, the trailer will be out and ready for our viewing pleasure.
First Review of Zack and Miri Make a Porno
Ain’t It Cool News has one of the first reviews I’ve seen of Zack and Miri Make a Porno, the next film by Kevin Smith. There’s always a part of me that wonders if AICN reviewers are full of shit, but Kev wrote on his blog that there would be a screening this week in the midwest, and I’m going to go ahead and believe that “Snake Oiler” was one of the attendees.
The review praises the comedic bits of the film, but says that the romantic storyline just doesn’t deliver. That’s disappointing news, but, even if it is true (and these things are all in the eye of the beholder anyway), Snake Oiler is right when he/she says, “It’s not too late, though - he’s got plenty of months left.” The flick isn’t due out until Halloween, and I’m sure that Kevin will pull the thing together in time for the general release.
Zack and Miri Trailer To Debut April 28?
After providing some bad news for View Askew fanatics on the West Coast recently (there will be no screening for VA message board members, apparently), Kevin Smith announced that the first Internet trailer for Zack and Miri Make a Porno will probably arrive on April 28. I’d just like to take a second to thank Kevin in advance for the awesome anniversary present. Stephanie and I will have been married seven years on that date, and I’m sure she’ll be glad to know that I’ll be spending the entire evening glued to the seat in front of my iMac, waiting for the awesomeness to begin.
Ryan Seacrest To Host Three-Way
Editor’s Note: In case the date-stamp didn’t make it clear, this article was part of GF5’s April Fool’s Day Joke for 2008.
Ryan Seacrest will host a special three-way American Idol competition, Geek Force super-spies have learned. The competition will be between Sarah Silverman, Jimmy Kimmel, and Elizabeth Banks, each of whom has made a splash in the music industry this year with their “I’m Fucking So-and-So” songs. Silverman, of course, started the trend with “I’m Fucking Matt Damon.” Kimmel shot back at Silverman with “I’m Fucking Ben Affleck.” And Banks trumped the both of them by proclaiming loudly and proudly, “I’m Fucking Seth Rogen.”
Producers are in talks with Simon Cowell, Randy Jackson, and Paula Abdul to reprise their roles as absolutely horrid judges of American musical talent.
