Deeds: Boise Theaters Turn To Soft Porn

Item: Area theaters get into the naughty-movie business/Michael Deeds, Idaho Statesman

More Info: Man, you know the economy is rough when Edwards and the Majestic start showing a porno movie at the megaplex. "Zack and Miri Make a Porno," directed by Kevin Smith ("Clerks," "Chasing Amy"), is opening on thousands of theater screens this weekend. It's an R-rated comedy about two roommates - Seth Rogen and Elizabeth Banks - who create a skin flick to make ends meet. Like a run of recent adult comedies, "Zack and Miri" pushes the raunch envelope. It received an NC-17 rating before Smith appealed it down to an R. It features male and female full-frontal nudity, but not from its stars.

Question: Would you support a theater megaplex if it began showing soft porn, like "Zack and Miri"?
