: I read some of the other posts. Sounds like he's trying to return to his roots that started with Chasing Amy. The problem is: (A) he's probably doing this because he's worried that his reputation was ruined after J&SBSB did shit at the theater and (b) he doesn't want people to think he isn't an artist after unsuccessfully slumming it (aka selling out) by making a stupid, American Pie clone (J&SBSB) rather than something hard-hitting (like Dogma).
: These are two bad reasons to make a movie.
A) I don't call $30M+ shit
B) Slumming? Stupid? Clone? Okay, here's my question... What teh fuck are you talking about? I agree that Dogma was hard hitting, but does that mean that he is then bound by fate to do ONLY those types of films? Are you seriously that ungrateful that he made a movie SPECIFICALLY for the fans?
Quit being a film critic and have some fun.
