Director Kevin Smith has won his battle with the Motion Picture Association of America to change the rating on his upcoming Zack and Miri Make a Porno from NC-17 to R. An appeals board overturned the decision on Tuesday.
Smith seems to have a certain amount of charm with the MPAA, having successfully appealed decisions on three of his movies -- Clerks, Jersey Girl and now Zack and Miri.
Perhaps Smith should share his secrets with the thousands of poor indie schleps who have been unjustly marked with the dreaded NC-17 by the wildly inconsistent band of housewives and geezers that make up the MPAA.
