As you're probably aware, tomorrow marks the opening of Kevin Smith's latest cinematic opus, "Zack & Miri Make A Porno," wherein Seth Rogen and Elizabeth Banks attempt to join the dirty world of adult filmmaking. When interviewing the director and cast about the film (click here for that), we posted the question whether Smith was aware of any porno knock-offs of his films and whether he had any title suggestions.
Check out his response below, and then watch more from our interview with Smith, Rogen and Banks here.

Seven films, one direct sequel, and millions of devoted fans later and the “View Askewniverse” -- director Kevin Smith’s mult-layered world in films like “Clerks,” “Dogma,” and “Chasing Amy” -- “is done,” Smith told MTV News.
Well, for a little while anyway.
We covered the bases with Smith in our latest chat about “Zack and Miri Make a Porno,” over on MTV.com, including information on who gets naked, what Smith took from his fight with the MPAA, and how much he let Seth Rogen improvise. But we wanted to know where in the Rogen and Elizabeth Banks starrer could we expect to see a “View Askewniverse” Easter Egg, even a fleeting nod to some of his older works.
