Can we do Chasing Amy as well?
Is that another rights issue?
Huh?
Smith recently got the rights to Dogma back. He couldn’t rerelease until he did.
Ah right! Sorry long day here.
Idk that Chasing Amy holds up as well. It's a bit problematic.
Kevin Smith has even come out saying the movie didn't age well, but that some of the concepts the movie was discussing didn't have a vocabulary for them. It probably also wasn't ideal for a heteronormative white guy to be the writer-director.
But the movie got made and it tried to have a good faith argument of what was being discussed and trying to have that conversation at that time was probably better for the LGBT+ community than not.
