The phrase "adult movies" has become a euphemism for pornography, but
I believe Jason meant it in the sense of "movies targeted at adults",
which is what most of the films you see in theatres are. Adult
characters, themes, situations - not pornography. It was an
unfortunate choice of words.

If you go to the theatre and see a movie that includes a love scene
where two characters are having sex, do you call that a porn film? I
wouldn't. It might be "R" rated, but it isn't porn. That's the type
of film that Jason is defending, not a XXX explicit pornographic film.
