Comment on "Dogma" Re-Release Plans In The Works

  I really don’t get your point here. Kevin Smith makes a low budget short film over two years ago and releases it as NFT tokens, and this alone curses his other 14 films, spanning three decades, forever?

  I get not liking NFTs, but this is a weird way to cope with the fact that they exist. Kevin Smith was honestly quite rational about this one too, admitting that he had no idea if NFTs were a good idea, and that the project could blow up in his face. He just wanted to see what would happen. With Beeple hauling $69M that same year, I can’t blame him that much for the attempt.

  And, this is just a nitpick, but your clapback here doesn’t even make sense:

  Sounds like you are embarrassed that you bought an nft movie.

  First, they said they never even heard of this movie until you informed them about it, so kinda weird to conclude that they bought it.

  Second, if one just discovered that a movie they bought had been sold via NFT, how would that be embarrassing? If they own it without exchanging crypto, they bought with fiat currency, and really that’s a worthwhile slap in the face to the ethos that motivates NFTs.

  If anything, grabbing a pirated copy of this film to watch would be a great way to stick it to the crypto bros. I’m gonna do that right now.

  Embarrassing for you that you just successfully promoted an NFT movie.

    Sounds like someone is upset they didn’t get a fantastic movie on the blockchain
