: hello! : I read the board thouroughly, and I couldn't find an answer to my question. I just saw Dogma, a little bit late I'm afraid, but I live in Norway (the film was just released) and work most nights; in a video store btw (love clerks!) Anyway; great movie, I'm still not sure if it will stand for a second screening on my part, but I will work on that. : I understand that it's not only a personal triumph, but also a juicy carrot to be able to reach out with one's ideas to as many people as possible. But where to draw the line between a healthy way of "killin your darlings" in oppose to selling out to please the commercial sheep? I read in a post that a star wars dialog was removed because the Cannes audience didn't respond well enough. : : I guess that if the product is good, one shouldn't object to the process in which it was produced. Compromizing is a valueble approach to many things, but I am very skeptical of it being done in the arts. : What do people out there say about this? I am merely a girl in desperate need for idols who live up to my standards. I just hope that money doesn't always have the last world, even in America. This is not a personal attack against Kevin Smith. I haven't actually done any real research to back up my inquiry. : I'm just wondering what it is like to get out there, since I'm finally coming to terms with myself never getting there. Or having my say. : Such a sad story :) : I'm really just jealous. If I had the chance I would probably have cast Leo for Pat Bateman if I had to. : tonje :
