Kevin Smith may be many things, but stupid is not one of them. (I’m a fan by the way, before anyone thinks differently.) Invariably he knew (As well as the Weinstein Company I’m sure.) that just having the name porno in the title would cause an uproar. That uproar would generate more publicity that any generated in a conventional sense.

Let’s face it, “regular” movie goers are not flocking to Kevin Smith films. They never have and most folks will just look down at him as a “half rate” amatuer film maker who is clever with dialog, but otherwise not worth the celluloid his movies are printed on. (Again, I’m a fan and not only see his movies in the theaters but purchase the DVDs folks. I personally LIKE Kevin Smith films so no hate mail.)

Leaving in the name porno and making a stink about the film will get more folks into the theaters, or at least paying attention, than otherwise would have happened. If this film is as good as it’s supposed to be, the extra “notice” generated will equal more money at the box office and perhaps Kevin Smith’s first film that breaks major dollars.

Anyway, I think that its going to benefit from the “censorship” because now when people see it or whatever, they can all giggle and feel like they’re “rebelling”. They’re going to go see it regardless of what mainstream media says, damn it!

Of course, the movie will then succeed because it’s fucking hilarious, but it’s important to get people in the door first.

Also, those halloween ‘costumes’ are awesome.
