I sure as hell didn't find Chasing Amy or Dogma or even Clerks to be "fluff". What exactly is your definition of "artistic" anyway?
: i was making a point that PTA's films are more artistic than kevin's. an opinion i feel is correct. i was NOT telling kevin he was flawed in his opinion of magnolia. i could care less about what he thinks because, as you said, his opinion is old news...i WAS curious about PDL just because the question lends asking.
: i wrote sorry because i know this is his website and any trashing of his films will be headed off at the pass, like you are doing now. i was also disguinshing between artistic works and good wholesome joyous views on life.
:
: my agenda was simply to find smith's view on PDL. i still dont see how you get that i dont feel smith should have an opinion on magnolia. i was simply making a comparison between artistic and fluff. smith films are fluff. that is not a bad thing. it is what it is.
