: Kevin,
: Please take it very personnal: the digestive tube is not the only vital organ.
: We saw Dogma yesterday with the hope to feel the vision of the world and the spirit you showed in your previous movies, particularly in Clerks.
: And what can we say, we are disappointed.
: It's a fact, we DID recognize what we appreciated in your style (excellent way to describe friends relationship, a very good sense of dialogues, some good jokes, a particularly good subject).
: But, tell us, did you share the work with some heavy and so-called funny showmen ... like you know... a mix, an hybrid between Jim Carrey and Eddie Murphy?
: Dogma is far away of a bad movie. But where is the "pure 100%" cynism, the acidity, the corrosive state of mind you showed in Clerks?
: The spirit, the concept are present, it could be so good but all the cynism, the ironic has turned into "burlesque" and heavy stuff.
: We'll keep on considering as a great and pretty unexploited moviemaker, we'll go see your next movie and we hope that you'll wake up from this Hollywood parallel universe.
: Two real fans of your first and great movie, Clerks,
: Christian DingDong and BB Agassis.
