: Yes, indeed, Kevin Smith is an artist in the form of satire. Alexander Payne direted a wannabe satire by the name of Election. I rented it the same night as Mallrats, and let me tell you- THERE IS NO COMPARISON!! Kevin Smith knows his shit!!!! Thanks for your time
Now, I'm a fan, too. That's why I'm here. That's why I flew across the continent to see DOGMA a mere 3 weeks before its release. So, I don't want my fandom impugned for this, but...
ELECTION is not only a better movie than MALLRATS is a *much* better movie. Why we're comparing them, aside from you choosing to rent them the same night, I'm not exactly sure. To be honest, though, when I finish my year end ranking of the years films, I see a decent possibility that ELECTION might sneak in ahead of DOGMA, as well.
Now, ordinarily making a statement like you did with such in such a smug manner might have caused me to go off on a shrieking rant about your intelligence, but since we're about to roll over the big Gregorian odometer and your Board Name makes me think of "Punk Rock Girl" by the Dead Milkmen, I'll merely wish you much joy in the new year!
