Does this mean they’re going to pull it from YouTube?

It’s been available to stream there for years because no one was making any copyright claims against it.

I mean there's a copyright holder.... So yeah.. increased chances

Kevin Smith talks about protesting his own movie "Dogma"

Do you think he'll show up to protest the re-release like he did with the original?

[-] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 hours ago

Down with this sort of thing!

[-] flicker@lemmy.world 12 points 19 hours ago

I'm tempted to do that myself!

...right up until I tell someone to hold my sign for me because my movie is about to start, and then I go inside to watch it.

[-] Dkarma@lemmy.world 18 points 21 hours ago

That would be epic and classic smith

Can't wait for Dogma 2: Dante's Inferno

There's one thing everyone here can agree on - fuck Harvey Weinstein.

[-] DemBoSain@midwest.social 24 points 21 hours ago

Whenever this guy's name pops up, I remember Courtney Love, on the red carpet for something, was asked her advice to young actresses. She responded something like "don't be alone in a room with Harvey Weinstein." She had an extremely promising acting career, but dropped off the face of the earth after that remark.

Fuck Harvey Weinstein.

That was in a short reel during the comedy central roast of pamela anderson.

100% chance he cried when he found out.

[-] njm1314@lemmy.world 5 points 18 hours ago

Man that's awesome to hear

[+] bad_news@lemmy.billiam.net -50 points 23 hours ago

Yay! Now he can ruin another on of his beloved movies from before he was bad at making things!

[-] Djinn@lemm.ee 22 points 21 hours ago

Kevin has made a few disappointing films over the years, but I wouldn’t say he’s a bad filmmaker.

The 4:30 Movie is quite good, and probably the most mature comedy he’s ever made. It really felt like a return to form so I’d recommend giving that a chance if you enjoyed his early work.

[-] bad_news@lemmy.billiam.net 3 points 19 hours ago

Never saw it but I will check it out

[-] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 8 points 17 hours ago

Lol. That's possibly the best way to get people to list out the great movies he's made. I'll go ahead say it, I love Jay and Silent Bob.

[-] Death_Equity@lemmy.world 22 points 22 hours ago

Tusk was a cinematic masterpiece you philistine!

[-] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 15 points 21 hours ago

Red State is also a fun diversion from his older work.

[-] blindbunny@lemmy.ml 5 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago)

When I first watched it I didn't know he was the director. I was impressed with his range as a director.

[-] bad_news@lemmy.billiam.net 3 points 20 hours ago

Fair, I stand corrected

[-] Drusas@fedia.io 13 points 21 hours ago

Later movies don't impact earlier ones. Clerks is still a masterpiece.

[-] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 5 points 20 hours ago

No, Clerks ceased to exist the moment Smith put out Yoga Hosers. That's the way the world works. Everything later ruins earlier works and can delete them entirely if they're bad enough.

[-] bad_news@lemmy.billiam.net 0 points 19 hours ago

Yes, art stands above and outside the artist, but to SOME extent new Clerks tarnishes it
