Kevin Smith’s upcoming detective comedy starring Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan was originally called A Couple of Dicks. It isn’t the edgiest title, but it was a little controversial in light of the flop of Kevin Smith’s last movie, Zack and Miri Make a Porno, which some people blamed on difficulties they had advertising it beause of the title (though I would blame it more on the movie being kind of boring and sucky). Long story short, they had to take the dicks out. *your mom cries*
The Movie Formerly Known as A COUPLE OF DICKS has finally settled on a (network-policy-dictated) replacement title! While we’ll always have DICKS in our hearts, the title we just now locked makes me smile on a bunch of different levels – including this 1: we can now advertise our movie properly (& ironically). And said marketing begins… on every print of SHERLOCK HOLMES, Christmas Day! [Kevin Smith's Twitter]
The new title is… Cop Out. Pretty clever in light of the circumstances. Though if you didn’t know the back story it’d just sound like something that stars Tim Allen and a St. Bernard. *covers eyes with paws*

And here I thought he tore his ACL.
So Bruce Willis turns into a Chiklis-esque Thing, and Morgan turns into “Sidekick”?
Nothing says “disgruntled aging cop with an itchy trigger finger” like wearing your watch…FACING INWARDS!! **explosion**
Does it still have Tracy Morgan being crazy? If so, I’m in.
If you look in the reflection of Bruce Willis’s glasses, you can see me not giving a damn.
If this is anything like Tracy Morgan’s autobiography, count me out. There is not enough Xanax in the world.
They both look like they just ate some sour candy.
In the UK this is being retitled as “Silent Bobbies.”
The removal of the dicks make me feel so empty inside.
The banner pic looks like Michael Bay remade “Driving Miss Daisy.”
The Hong Kong bootleg DVD of this will be re-titled to Superior Oboe Teacher and Important Night Friend go Harry Potter USA! replacing Many Snakes for Good Fortune, Mel Gibson?
The tag-line “Eddie Murphy’s Highest Honor” will remain intact.
I’m glad KS likes the title, but to me it sounds like the sequel to I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry.
COLORS. WILL. CLASH.
wait, wrong post?
Paris Hilton’s agent: “Would you like to be in A Couple Of Dicks?”
Paris Hilton: “Isn’t it usually the other way around?”
I have a feeling that Tracy will have a bigger role than Bruce.
“I have a feeling that Tracy will have a bigger role than Bruce.”
Lots of girls tell me that’s just a myth.
So, Lorena Bobbitt works for WB?
A Couple of Pricks: The Roman Polanski Story
My vagina wants the former title but always ends up with the latter :(
Bruce is wearing those glasses because after playing around with this role for a while, he went blind.
I’m glad they made him change the title. Now I know I can expect the good high-brow Kevin Smith comedy I’m used to and not some puerile crap.
So much for my story about a feline pirate who uses a cat-o’-nine-tails to punish mutiny on his ship. I’m not sure if I can come up with a better title than ‘Pussy Whipped’.
Kitties in pirate hats? Cuuuuuute!
It was either that or young boys carrying bundles of sticks through the town square. I didn’t think ‘Faggot Parade’ would go over too well though.
I’ll bet you anything this movie finishes sooner than I want it to.
Chino, this movie just likes you so much.
Yea
