...Mallrats and Chasing Amy, more dismally delightful chronicles of the post-yuppie malaise, all starring the director (in a requisite self-referential flourish) as the omnipresent Silent Bob. Not content with Stillman's trilogy concept, Smith has spawned an entire cottage industry with this year's forthcoming release of Dogma (with Alanis Morissette, which is Canadian for "25-year-old angst queen," in the role...
Take a peek into an Ec 10 lecture and you get the impression that Harvard has chosen a representative student of every race, background, dogma and creed.
