Kevin mentioned that he was “on it” when a board user recently pointed out the title change at IMDB. Could the word “Porno” be a bit too edgy in today’s film world? While we can see that it would raise eyebrows, this is a R-rated raunchy comedy we’re talking about here — Certainly not any more taboo than using the word “Virgin” in the title of a very recent blockbuster. Heck, around 20 years ago studios released a flick called “Whore”. So, we expect and hope that the title will stick. As for the whole Zack/Zach thing, with the double spelling, it could go either way. Kevin’s early drafts used the K version, though we noticed that both zackandmiri.com as well as zachandmiri.com were purchased for online use a few months back. So, we’ll see. We’re hoping for good news with the title, as just the names don’t sell it as well. At least, in our opinion. Sure, the movie will still be the same movie, but we think “Zack And Miri Make A Porno” immediately lends itself a lot of press and notice. Never a bad thing.

So, the writer’s strike continues to make stuff interesting — With the news that a new X-Files movie will debut this Spring, this writing strike has all kinds of crazy stuff going on, doesn’t it? We’ll keep you posted on the View Askew world and what, if any, the strike will change. So far, business as usual.
