God, I love that song...it's like "Iron Man"...you can make up just about any lyrics. But on to the point.
: Your note was very funny, thanks. But it doesn't really put me any closer to the answer to my question. Now your note displays some creativity and intelligence, so I don't think it's purely a matter of IQ. In other words, I don't hate his movies because they are dumb. What I want to know is how he harnesses such a low and culturally void force.
If you want a serious answer, you're going to have to be a little more clear. What do you mean by a low force? Do you mean an earthbound force, a hellish force? What do you mean by culturally void, do you mean there is no sense of culture within, and if so whose culture? Since I'd say that American merchant culture is quite prevalent in "Clerks", gay/lesbian & comic culture in "Chasing Amy", and definitely the influence of Catholic culture can be seen in "Dogma".
You're going to have to be a bit more explicit in your criticisms. If you just out and say "I hated it" without explaining any further than that, people are going to assume you just have an ax to grind, and frankly, it seems to me that only a pretty unfilled person would bother hunting down someone's website just to insult their work and ask self-centered questions (how is someone supposed to answer why YOU hated the movies when you haven't even given us a clue? Isn't that for you to decide?). Isn't there something you'd rather be doing with your time and energy?
