: Don't get me wrong, I have total faith that VA5 will be an awesome flick, but do you all think that others besides us will be able to get into it? It seems like there will be a lot of "private jokes" that will only be understood if you've seen the other movies. More importantly, it seems a lot of the plot line is drawn from the other movies. Anyone else see concern for a mass apeal?
: Jennifer
I think the plot line will only be drawn from other movies in the respect that some characters are returning (and the Jay & Bob mentioning Dogmas events thing).
If you've seen the other movies you'd be like - cool it's Brodie!
But apart from that what they actually do in the movie I reckon will be fresh and new.
While it will help to have seen the others I don't think there will be any worry about it's mass appeal. It's just going to be a crude comedy. The lowest common denominator in film there is. It should be huge. (Hmm that was said about Mallrats though...)
