: Who ever said a movie had to have a really deep meaning (or any meaning)
to be good? Can't a movie just entertain? Can't a movie be intelligently
written yet not be a life changing experience? Can't a movie just be
something people do to have fun on a friday night with friends? Does every
movie have to be "Fight Club" or "Shindler's List(sp?)"?
: Clerks didn't change my life, but I still laugh out loud when I watch it.
I think that's a good thing. I don't think I'm alone on that.
...but I would also like to say that Dogma did have meaning, at least for
me. It was a very funny flick, but it also really made me think about God
and all that. It was sort of an awakening for me. I know it sort of
sounds cheesy, but it is true, that after seeing Dogma I beleived more than
I had since I was a kid.
