C'mon, guy. While your criticism provides the boards with something besides the standard kissing of Kevin's proverbial ring, you've got nothing in the way of an argument. Why you would post this drivel is beyond me. Dogma isn't a good flick? You've got to be fucking kidding me. Mallrats may be an aquired taste, and the latest (and final, you ignorant fuck)installment in the Jersey series may have played out like one very elaborate inside joke, but that tends to be the charm in the flicks, and the proven drawing power the Askew movies have validates them, even if the writing, direction and individual performances are lost on you. Did you just want to be heard, or were you seriously under the delusion that Smith would read over your rant, have a come-to-Jesus moment and realize that he needs to forget about what he's been doing his whole career, what got him the company, the site and the fans that power it all and follow your scholarly and sage counsel? And the "B-movie hell" bit? Check out the numbers at the box office, and this site. I'd say that elevates Smith's work beyond B-level pretty clearly. But it was pretty indicative of the post, not to mention how hideously uninformed the whole thing is, in that he has already made it clear that he's moved on...this is all shit.
