Dogma could very well be the perfect movie. Tarantino esque Dialogue ✅ thought provoking themes ✅ brilliant characters ✅ pacing ✅ comedy ✅ serious undertones ✅ memorable scenes ✅ suspense ✅ acting ✅ emotional elements ✅ great music ✅ cinematography ✅ jay and silent bob ✅ effortless diversity ✅ Alan Rickman ✅ special effects ✅ violence ✅ excessive profanity and dark humour ✅Powerful message ✅

[@td4190]

Ain't that the damn truth. Dogma is definitely one of those movies you can watch quite a few times and still enjoy every scene

[@user-ul2tt4dn9k]

Dogma us a fucking fantastic film. I often watch it bought it on video when it was first released. Definitely a classic especially now its quite difficult to get a hold of.

[@tonypio9815]

Jesus Kevin Smith is like a completely different person now. Much more social and talkative and overall enthusiastic.

I fucking loved Dogma!!!! Honestly, I'm gonna piss of many people I guess, I think it's my favorite movie Kevin has made.

[@existenceisrelative]

It's lots of people's favorite.

[@ElMoShApPiNeSs]

Red State is a far superior film.

[@existenceisrelative]

BigFatCock I'm still undecided about Red State. On the one hand, it was a remarkable experience. But that ending just... was *not* good. And while Red State was weird and intense as hell, i think Tusk was far more horrifying in general.

[@ElMoShApPiNeSs]

existenceisrelative I fundamentally disagree. The ending was probably my favourite part.

[@existenceisrelative]

BigFatCock Now are you thinking of the big climax toward the end, or the actual ending? Because the climax is not the ending, and it's the ending that kills it.

[@moxbroker]

Chris's take on the controversy is priceless.

[@tsukie11]

I know I am so behind in the times but I thought about Dogma yesterday and it is free on KZbin so I watched it again and then I just love Kevin Smith and Chris Rock so watching them is a pleasure and I just wanted to say Dogma is one of the most amazing movies I have ever seen. I am Jewish and I love Dogma I believe in God and I love Dogma I believe God is male and I love that Alanis Morissette is God in Dogma this is a movie that never gets old, that is so well made and written and Kevin Smith is a genius and so adorable!

[@deftlefthand9964]

I watched this with my sister last month. Me? I owned it and probably watched it a dozen times. My sister had never seen it and that made it even better. It's an all-time favorite for being witty and thought provoking. A rare film, indeed. 😁

[@JJJameson.]

Oh,didn't know that. Why was he unhappy? I was referring strictly to style...

[@ccole99]

+J.J Jameson at the time he said that he was unhappy because he was trying to conform to what all these people wanted him to be and do... All that went away the day he realize all he needed to do is be himself and make movies that make him happy... He talks about on fat man on Batman his podcast and other podcast he's on about how that was a low point in his life and he never really understood why until one day he figured out he wasn't doing what he wanted to do he was trying to make everyone else happy and trying to be mainstream and that's how we ended up with movies like Gelee and copout...

Talking about Harvey's Weinstein

[@jamiefrontiera1671]

Chris Rock is is right about being offended by this movie is a lack of faith in God. There is nothing that someone can say that will shake my faith in God. Because of that if you make a funny joke about God, and its funny. I will laugh, and so what it's funny. And this is also speaking as a catholic. Technically it makes fun of all Christians, not just catholics, but especially catholics. The best line is from muse saying you should celebrate your faith and criticizing catholics as mourning their faith. And I couldn't disagree, there is a certain serious and sedate nature in catholic mass. (Not saying all catholics churches I once went to a catholic church at Easter that was primarily a Vietnamese population, where they created a paper mache Jesus to resurrect with party poppers and streamers going off. And BTW the priest smiled and said that was the best one yet. I loved it, but many churches just don't get that much energy for easter)

[@Lowlandlord]

I know it's a joke, but the concept of an alternate version of Dogma with Samuel L. Jackson instead of Chris Rock is pretty interesting. Not that Chris was not great in it, just the tone difference between having Chris Rock compared to Sam Jackson for he same character. Oh, and Chris' argument is one of my favourite religious argument of all time. God is All-Powerful, if He is God, God don't give no fucks about someone making fun of him. He is not so pathetic and insecure that He needs some random assholes defending Him from other random assholes making fun of Him. You think I care about what some random ant says about me to some other ant? You think I need some other, random, third ant, defending me.
