They were angry about the penis?

When you hear the title A Couple of Dicks, the first thing you think is, "This has to be a Kevin Smith movie."

He said cocks, not cops. Get a hearing aid.

37? Why that would be a whole bowl full of them.

Warner Bros changes name of Kevin Smith's new film to "A Couple of Cops", fearing moviegoers might be offended by "A Couple of Dicks". It's not like there's 37 of them

In a row?

FTA: "It will star Bruce Willis..."
Sweet!
"...and Tracy Morgan"
Fark. I'll pass.

Movie goer: I'd like to see "A Couple of Dicks" please

C'mon, Warner Bros, the marketing practically writes itself here.

Hey, try not to suck any dick on the way through the parking lot!

This might explain his most recent comment on his Twitter feed (new window)

Look, "A Couple of Dicks" is juvenile and obvious (which is fine for a Kevin Smith joint), but at least it's semi-memorable. "A Couple of Cops" is just sterile and spineless.

Even so, I'm sure I'll see it. One of the funniest moments of any of Kevin Smiths Q&A DVDs is on "Sold Out: Threevening" when he tells his Bruce Willis "Live Free or Die Hard" stories, culminating in his dropping the mic in mock shock when he recalls Bruce suggesting they make a movie together at some point. I'm sure this departure for him came from that.

Fantastic headline Subby, fantastic.

/that headline DID only have sex with three different guys though

Clerks trifecta en route?

I started reading the script the other night, it seemed good. However, I just can't see the cast working out, John McClane and Tracy Jordan, in one movie.

Like Bagettes?

How can that NOT work out?

Not sure how similar it will be, but I keep getting a vibe.

Both titles suck ass and seem to do nothing but hurt the chances of the movie being a success. Of course since Kevin Smith is attached to it now, it's ceiling was probably about $35 million anyway. It doesn't matter how funny of a movie he makes, or who he puts in it, the guy just can't seem to push past $35-40 million.

So is this Kevin Smith's claim to fame now, making purposely provocative (and juvenile) titles, to create a buzz about his films?

Why not just make good films that stand on their own, not depending on such cheap publicity gimmicks?

MMMyes, let's not look at merit, only sales. The world needs more blockbusters staring Tommy Cruise.

Fact Man: Why not just make good films that stand on their own, not depending on such cheap publicity gimmicks?

Because he can do BOTH.

It's funny because it has the word "Dicks" in the title. Get it?!?! Dicks!! HAHA. It's a play on words!!

Boy, that Kevin Smith sure is edgy!

Thanks for the tip.

But "the spy who shagged me" is perfectly alright

Okay, FTFY, for real this time.

Or not.

Do the British have a slang word for penis not known over here in the States? Perhaps that's the answer.

I'm going on PoopChute.com to air my grievances against this stupid movie.

Um, that was the title before he was attached. As the article mentioned, it's his first movie he's directing while not writing. Which kind of makes no sense, because he's not that great of a director. He is a great writer though.

Oh no, I'm offended by the name Dick Clark and Dick Tracey!!

/OH NO!!!!!!

movie aside, what the hell is going on in the ad on the right side of article:




/someone took "A Couple of Dicks" too literally...

Sip the campaign slowly, Kevin. Bruce Willis doesn't exactly have a great track record in movies where he isn't carrying a nine.

Also saw the threevening, and I guess that Kevin really did make an impression on Willis. I remember the story about him getting the phone call from Willis asking him to do another movie, but I can't remember if it was on the threevening or if it was in his blog.

Hey, I'll see it. Might even be able to talk the hubby into it, with Bruce Willis. (He's still mad at me over Zack and Miri, though I personally liked it..)

I don't think Kevin Smith will ever make a good movie again.

Why the hell would someone want to hire Smith to direct a movie he didn't write?

*shrug* why would they hire him to act? (Catch and Release)

Too bad he can't just make more Evening Withs and Smodcasts.

Naeva: *shrug* why would they hire him to act? (Catch and Release)

Oh my. That one passed under my radar. It looks really good. (Yeah, right).

KnightsFolly: What a dick might look like

Nora approves, babeh!

;)

/I love people who are in my head.
//Also people who aren't dicks. But not in that way...

Its horrible. And I'm a sucker for anything Smith does, but I turned it off. (And that's after reading his blog for like, ever, on what was going on while he was filming.)

Its not his fault though, he did fine as an actor (although I would argue if you're just being yourself, its not really acting) but the story was extremely dull.

In other news, Hollywood is currently sitting on what might be the feel-good sports movie of the year. It's about two girls from Hamilton, ON who are best friends. One is kind of a tomboy with 3 older brothers and gets pushed into a hockey career and becomes quite good. The other has a natural talent for the game, but she finds it hard to balance her gift with her desire to lead a regular life.

They both make it big and end up playing in the NHL on different teams. Eventually they face off against each other in the championship game, but only one will win at the cost of the other one's friendship.


It's called "Two Girls, One Cup."


/true story

There's only one dick and he's behind the camera.

Those are the little towel-animals the silly cruise people make up for you while you're away from the room during the day - usually toward the end of the cruise.

How many Star Wars references will be in this one fat ass?

The only good thing Kevin Smith every did after Clerks was kill off Jennifer Lopez in the first 10 minutes of a movie.

Bag of Hammers How many Star Wars references will be in this one fat ass?

Before others jump all over you, let me politely say that he did not write it.

OK, but it's Kevin Smith, he is genetically incapable of making a movie without one.
