I still can't figure it out. I like Kevin Smith, I'm entertained by stuff like his speeches and interviews. But I hate his movies. Every last one of them.
See, I'm just the opposite. Every time I see a clip of him speaking I want to belt him in the face, but I've really enjoyed his films.
Except Dogma. I hated Dogma with a passion. Seriously. Maybe it's because Linda Fiorentino's bullshit about not getting an Oscar for that softcore porn she did with Bill Pullman made me hate her and everything she touches with the hate that burns like a thousand suns.
Or it could be that Dogma was just a really shitty film.
Either way, protesting your own movie kicks all kinds of ass.
I saw a video on YouTube where Kevin Smith gives a ten minute talk about this whole event and shows some of that clip. If someone ambitious wants to go search for it, if my memory serves me adequately, it'd be worthwhile.
