: I literally meant most people won't visually see the movie, it probably isn't going to be another star wars...
The US census claims there to be 273,936,165 people in the US. The most recent Star Wars film made approximatedly $428,000,000 in the US, which if we were to assume that everyone went only once and paid an average of $5 then considerably less than 32% of the population has seen the film.
Yes, I'm being incredibly anal, however I am making a point. *Most* people don't see any film. Now, I agree that considerably less people will see DOGMA, it only makes sense.
I apologize for mis-interpreting your quotation marks, although the fact that they were completely meaningless leaves me a bit perplexed. I mean, I guess you were quoting me, but... Oh, never mind.
: so I think it is safe to say that many people will comment on the movie without seeing it.
Does that somehow make them right?
: Pseudo-intellectual?
Yes. I was smarter than you think you are, even back when I was a high school student. You need to take a step back and invite discussion, not lecture to the masses.
