「ザックとミリのポルノ製作」

評価は7/10
トレーラーを観る限りでは、ポルノを撮るときの企画とかオーディション、撮影時などを描いたコメディー映画のようです。
どうってことなさそうなんですがやはり一応、R指定。

トレーラーにはBJの姿は見えませんでした。
出演は確実にしていますので、見落とし？
この分だと、ちょい役かカメオ出演ってところかも…？
でもカメオだと、箔をつけるため、話題性のためなどがあるのでトレーラーに顔を出すはずなんですが…。
うーん、やはり見落としなのでしょうか？？
オーディションを受けに来て、どじを踏んであわてまくってズボンをずらしてそれに引っかかってけつまずいて、ひっくり返る役とか？

Zack and Miri Make a Porno Review - October 30, 2008, Movies Reviews
There's no denying that in person, Smith can spin a yarn like a potty-mouthed, latter-day Truman Capote; his public appearances and interviews are priceless affairs because he's seldom bound by the limits of time, structure or good taste. But those are all of the considerations that come with making movies, and they're the shackles which undermine his more considerable talents - which is why his latest, Zack and Miri Make a Porno, works best when it's unrestrained from capital-S storytelling and obligated only to cracking jokes, chronicling mundane experiences and making a few modest observations about human nature.


Zack and Miri Make a Porno Review
Smith's latest is satisfying, but suggests his strength for off-screen storytelling.
by Todd Gilchrist

October 30, 2008 - There's an argument that fans of Kevin Smith have been making for several years now noting the director's greatest strength is that he knows his own limitations. And superficially, he does. Smith famously (and admittedly, smartly) declined to helm a Superman reboot because of producer Jon Peters' outrageous demands, but he has subsequently turned down chances to take on other comic book properties and generally refused to tackle anything that requires him to venture outside the insular New Jersey fiefdom he created in 1994 with Clerks. While I see this as a sort of professional resignation, others see this as a sign of artistic continuity since he deals with similar characters and stories time and again without changing his approach or -- it must be said -- the end result.

But how is it possible that given this zenlike sense of acceptance over his shortcomings, Smith doesn't realize that his strengths as a storyteller have nothing to do with his strengths as a filmmaker?

There's no denying that in person, Smith can spin a yarn like a potty-mouthed, latter-day Truman Capote; his public appearances and interviews are priceless affairs because he's seldom bound by the limits of time, structure or good taste. But those are all of the considerations that come with making movies, and they're the shackles which undermine his more considerable talents -- which is why his latest, Zack and Miri Make a Porno, works best when it's unrestrained from capital-S storytelling and obligated only to cracking jokes, chronicling mundane experiences and making a few modest observations about human nature.


The film stars Seth Rogen as Zack, a do-nothing barista who lives with his high school buddy Miri (Elizabeth Banks) in an apartment whose power and water they can barely afford to keep running. While preparing for their 10-year reunion, a coffeehouse patron captures cell phone footage of Miri in a pair of enormous underpants which subsequently becomes a minor sensation as a Youtube-style clip. When even their former classmates turn out to be familiar with "Granny Panties," as the clip is called, the pair decides to try and shoot an actual film, this time to earn enough money that they can pay their bills and stay in their apartment. Enlisting Zack's coworker Delaney (Craig Robinson), Zack and Miri hire an ensemble of local actors to shoot a porno movie; but as they get fired up about the prospect of f*cking on camera, the roommates begin to realize that they may have feelings that run deeper than mere friendship.

Although I've never been a big fan of Smith's films -- and in fact I think he's an absolutely terrible director, visually speaking -- I have a soft spot for several of his past works, in the same way that one might appreciate his best friend's home movies. Mallrats was a watershed experience for me in college, and while it has not aged especially well, it reconfirmed the strengths he displayed in Clerks as a storyteller, specifically his ability to mine both humor and human insight out of virtually any average situation. Zack and Miri is similar in that it reminds both his fans and critics that he can create great moments of sensitivity and intelligence, even if he still can't connect them to a narrative that is equal to them.

It of course helps that Smith employs as his leads Rogen and Banks, two up-and-comers with loads of charm and charisma. While the characters are clearly patterned after the hyper-articulate motormouths of his previous efforts, the actors find a sincere and distinctive way to play their roles that doesn't sound like they're merely aping their director. And the burgeoning romantic relationship between them achieves a genuine poignancy even when the two of them are forced to stumble through the rote measures of a breakup-makeup climax that felt hackneyed a hundred romantic comedies ago.

Meanwhile, Smith populates the supporting cast with both new and familiar faces, including Robinson as their dim-witted partner Delaney, Brandon Routh and Justin Long as gay porn stars who instigate Zack and Miri's descent into adult filmmaking, and stalwart cinematic companion Jason Mewes as one of the film-within-a-film's able-bodied performers. While Routh and Long steal the few scenes they are in, Robinson absconds with the rest of the movie, elevating what would otherwise be a series of racist tirades into faux-aggressive demonstrations of Delaney's nervous, henpecked ambition. And though her portrayal seems potentially dubious in much the same way Tarantino might lace a black character's dialogue with the n-word for authenticity, a foul-mouthed Tisha Campbell-Martin convincingly gives Robinson a spouse to fear as his overbearing wife in the film's final scenes.


As far as the film's sexual content is concerned, Smith handles most of it with a fairly deft comedic touch, although it's not always clear if he means for the sex to be funny (excepting one that climaxes, so to speak, with someone's face full of poop). While most of the diddling is too broad or silly to be taken seriously, one scene in particular is handled especially well because it conveys real, shared sentiment -- something that Smith possesses in spades as a storyteller, but seldom demonstrates effectively on film. All of which is why Zack and Miri Make a Porno is best examined as a series of unrelated sketches: in single-serving, independent doses, Smith creates real magic by making smart observations in ordinary situations. But as a whole, nothing works together or builds to a believable dramatic crescendo.

And whiel, as a director, Smith tends to wear his heart on his sleeve, he does feel like a seasoned parodist who one day realized he could make more money designing genre pictures than deconstructing them. He's so smart, insightful and aware of the process of putting all of these conventions into motion, his determination to do it himself seems canned, and the end result feels insincere.

In this case, that modest achievement is certainly enough to preserve the boundaries of his insular fiefdom, but it's just another reminder that Smith acknowledges his limitations without doing the same for his strengths. Zack and Miri Make a Porno is not a great movie, but it's by and large a successful piece of entertainment -- which suggests that eight directed works and 15 years into a career, his best stories still reside in his head instead of on the silver screen.

こんばんは～。
でも、ですね、ねちねちとあふれんばかりのエロさ全開だと、この役やるとヤバスですね☆
もう、レインバーなお人方にモテモテファイヤーになるかとw


クリスチャン・ベールの映画がGayoにきましたね～。

BJとクリスチャンベールのVS.でお気に入りの動画があるんですが、もうかなり前の投稿作品なのでご存知かな～・・・。

こんばんは。
BJ出演シーン、拝見しました。
ありがとうございます。

人事不省で地球に落ちてくるシーンはエロかったと思いますが、対人相手はBJにとっての課題でしょうね。
（女房とならばうまくいくのかな？）

BJはなんでしょう・・・。
あのデビュー映画ですら、エロくなかったですし・・・。
クラブで主人公引っ掛けて、ベッドインの割にエロくなさすぎ・・・・・・女が引っかかるにはその顔ししかないぞー。
もっと、ねちねちしたエロさを出すのだ！
何もしていなくてもねちねちしている、ジョージ・クルーニー（ジョルジオと、なぜかこれまた思い込みしていたひとり！）とか、ショーン・コネリーのように意味もなくエロさをかもし出してもらいところですねー。
そういえば、歴代の色男に選ばれる人って、何もしていなくてもねちねちしてますね★


クリスチャン・ベールは「ベルベットゴールドマイン」で減点ですw
いえ、すみません。わたくしBOWIEの大ファンでして…。あの怒らないBowieが　ごらあ！　と怒った有名な映画w
寛斎さんも怒って（？）おりましたが～。

というのは、おいておいて、
ベールはあまり縁がないですね。なぜなんだろう？　観たい映画はたくさんあるんですが、「アメリカンサイコ」（Bowieがサントラ参加）とか。
いや観ているのかな？
・・・・・・観ている気がしてきました。
ひょっとして、ジョニー・デップや、プロモーション会場で社会の窓を全開にしていたブラッド・ピットのように興味のない俳優さんの一人だったのかもw
ちゃんと、まじめに観てみます！　

ボディ・コントロールといえば、ラッセル・クロウはデブりすぎで問題になっているみたいなんですが、彼はどこへ行くのでしょうか？

わーぉ、レスありがとうございますー！

BJは一人悶えの方がエロイですネ。何故ですかネ？
多分、BJのキャラ的に「あっけらかーん」としすぎててエロさが足りないんじゃ・・・？？基本「おバカちゃん」っぽいし・・・（酷い言い草）
対人相手でもエロさが出たら・・・私が悶え死しそうデス☆
このシーンを撮る時は、監督はBJのキャリアに傷が付きやしないかとヒヤヒヤしてたそうです。
だからエロさが足りないのかもしれない・・・。

ところで、私は栗ことクリスチャン・ベールも大好きなんですが、この人はエロくないシーンでエロイという稀有な人だと思うんですが、いかがでしょう？（何て筋違いな問いかけ・・・；）
BJといい、クリスチャンといい、ゲイにもてる人が多いですねぇ・・・。

横から失礼！　もどんどんOKでございます。
もっといろいろ突っ込んでやって下さって結構でございますです。

おお！
これまた有り難うございます。すみません、最近いろんな意味でえぐい映画ばかり観ておりまして、BJ探しの旅はおろそかになっておりました。

BJは一人悶えのほうがエロイと思うのですが、いかがでしょうか？　対人相手でも、もう少しエロさが欲しいところです。そうすれば、百人力ですね～。

横から失礼！
BJが出ているシーンはコレですネ☆

ttp://jp.youtube.com/watch?v=foS-nCCKq9s&feature=related

主人公（？）ロスの同窓会に現れたイケメン「ボビー・ロング」という役であります。
気合い満タンでボビーを落とさんとするロスと、実はゲイの恋人と一緒に来ていて、ゲイだと同窓会でバレたボビーと恋人が口喧嘩して仲直りのバードキスをするという・・・ステイツのゲイが狂喜乱舞しそうなシーンです☆
ナイス配役。
BJの演技が素敵でして、監督GJ！と思いました。

既にご存知でしたらゴメンナサイ！！

どうなんでしょう～。
まぁ、BJってゲイの人には超憧れのタイプだと思うのでw
背は高いはマッチョだわ、ハンサムだわ
でも、ジャスティンも眉毛がコユイですよね～w　眉毛兄弟。

私もトレーラーを観ました。
やっぱり映ってない！

それで調べてみたら、ジャスティン・ロングのお相手役でカメオ出演しているらしい。
また（？）男性の恋人役なのでしょうか。
