Zack and Miri

It looks like Kevin Smith's latest comedy may have hit rating problems in the US, according to star Seth Rogen. In an interview with MTV, Rogen is quoted as saying

"The MPAA is gunning for us, I think,"[...] "It's a really filthy movie. I hear they are having some problems getting an R rating from an NC-17 rating, which is never good."

Rogen goes on to point out the strange double standards at the US rating boards, where films like Hostel come through relatively unscathed but scenes showing (or even discussing) intercourse are frowned upon.

Of course, this is not the first time Kevin Smith has had trouble with the ratings board, with his debut film Clerks initially been given an NC-17 rating before distributor Miramax appealed.

Robocop is a Cylon

MGM are currently touting this teaser poster in relation to their forthcoming remake. This is aimed at licensees for toys etc. and the film is still at an early stage of department. Therefore this image may well not represent the final look of Robocop in the film. Which is good, because he looks like a smirking Battlestar Galactica reject. More importantly, the original film is great and still hold up today, making this redo officially pointless.
