Oh yeah. Red State was way above the bar in what I expected. I also really enjoyed hearing about how he went about funding and marketing the movie on his podcasts.Furbyz said:I'm a big Red State fan. Movie Bob's review of that was criminal imo. I absolutely loved that film and wish he'd had the budget to make it exactly how he wanted. It's definitely his best film that isn't a comedy by virtue of being the only one thus far.
I totally agree. That wasn't just good dialogue, that was a brilliant message to people of all faiths. Dogma managed to combine a multitude of heavy messages like this with bathroom humor, massive violence, Jay, Silent Bob and Alan Rickman.Crimson_Dragoon said:
Because it wasn't that great. Certainly it was funny, far from the hideous mess that was Strike Back, which nearly choked to death on its own in-jokes, but Mallrats just wasn't that good of a film. It seemed to be taking a middle ground between Clerks (largely down to earth with some ridiculous moments, but mostly composed of pop-culture dissection and chatting bullshit) and his later films which relied much more on fart and dick jokes. Mallrats was neither one thing nor t'other, and suffered for it.Greg Tito said:

Not really, no - plenty of bands peak with their first album and spend a long time trying to live up to it. Have The Killers even bettered their debut? Did RAtM (much as I love Evil Empire) ever outdo their eponymous album? Even Led Zeppelin, who are utterly fantastic and can do no wrong, probably had their strongest album the first time out.snd_dsgnr said:
