I'm almost positive this will get missed so far down the board and with so many other replies washing over it. But this paragraph caught my attention more than anything else, and I had to address it:
"I swear, I caught it from the right wing on 'Dogma', and now I'm catching it from the left wing on this flick. Which am I, people: a bleeding heart liberal or a Bible-thumping conservative? And when the hell do I get to make a movie in which I don't have to explain myself afterwards? When the hell do I get to make a movie that some special interest group won't demonize? I sweat - it's like all that's left is to walk that thin, boring line down the middle that makes for really bland cinema. Because no matter what you do and say, no matter how good your intentions are, sooner or later, you're going to offend SOMEBODY."
Your life will continue to be interesting as you explore issues both new and old.
But the day when nobody cares what you're movie's about...THAT'S when you should worry.
