Megaplex Theatres, which operates theaters in Salt Lake City and Ogden, Utah say that it has refused to book The Weinstein Company's R-rated Zack and Miri Make a Porno. The theaters are owned by Larry Miller, who in 2006 refused to screen Brokeback Mountain in his theaters, saying that it "crossed the line." Miller is also the owner of the Utah Jazz. In an interview with today's (Monday) New York Post, theater manager Cal Gunderson said, "We feel it's very close to an NC-17 with its graphic nudity and graphic sex." When the newspaper's "Page Six" column asked Gunderson why the theater chain had no problems booking the ultra-violent Saw V, Gunderson replied, "No comment."
