* If this movie was released by Miramax, then how come it made fun of them? Does Kevin Smith hate them for the whole ''Film/{{Dogma}}'' crisis or something? What's the point?
** BitingTheHandHumor -- kind of like how ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' is always making fun of Fox despite it being the channel that produces and broadcasts the show. Smith's a humorist and the people he works for can be a valid source of humour as well.
** It helped that the Weinstein brothers, who were running Miramax at the time, were huge fans of Kevin Smith's movies, and loved the film's story.
** The jokes about Miramax are mostly good-natured ribbing, not truly caustic attacks.
