Well said. It goes against all the dogma/beliefs that the (Catholic Church) imposes. But at heart the movie is so damn spiritual and so full of faith. It's about faith, without all the shenanigans of the Church.

[@egosomnio]

In Carlin's book Brain Droppings, there's a list of people who should be gotten rid of. One of them is "Guys who flash me the thumbs-up sign. Especially if they're winking and making the peace sign with the other hand." I've always wondered if Buddy Christ's pose was partially inspired by that (he's got a finger gun going on instead of the peace sign, but still).

This is a little story that Kevin Smith likes to tell about how putting the fear of Rickman into his friend Jason Mews inspired him to be a better actor: Dogma, though, we kept impressing on this cat, "You've gotta be topnotch. You are the strong back that's got to carry the movie. You've gotta be funny and on cue all the time. You gotta know your lines. You can't be shy... because we got real actors in the movie this time." "Not like Affleck?" "Not like Affleck." "Who?" "We got Alan Rickman." "Who the fuck's that?" "Alan Rickman. You know, from Die Hard, yippee-kai-yay?" "Bruce Willis?" "No. The other guy. Alan Rickman, he's the villain." "All right. So what?" "Alan Rickman is a British actor. And British actors fucking invented acting. They will chew the scenery around you. He won't put up for 'snoochie boochies' and shit like that. He needs you to be on and fucking topnotch. He's worked with the best. You can't let a dude like this down." As with all the other films, I rehearse with all the actors separately... and Mewes I start with by himself and then work him into the group. So I sit down with Mewes to start rehearsing. And he comes in, no script. I'm like, "Where's your script?" "I don't need it." "What?" "Just try me." So I start reading the lines that aren't Mewes'... and Mewes starts doing his lines without a script. I was like, "That's pretty good." We keep going, and he knows everything. "Did you memorize all your lines?" "Everybody else's too." "Bullshit!" "Try me." So I read Mewes' lines and he reads everybody else's lines. Without a fucking script. And I'm like, "What the fuck, what are you, Rain Man? What the fuck happened, dude? Why did you suddenly become a genius?" "I don't want to piss off that Rickman dude."

I remember reading somewhere that Dogma is the only movie in which Jason Mewes was prepared and memorized his lines because he was terrified of screwing up in front of Alan Rickman.

[@Mortismors]

The Bible is one of the most mistranslated books of all time. Take something that was translated through Hebrew to Greek to Latin to English and compare it to the original Hebrew and an original translation of what the words meant at the time and you will get two completely different things. When the scribes translated the Greek Septuagint they purposely changed words and wrote entire expanded books trying to push their interpretations. Most people think Elohim and Yahweh are the same thing, but if you read the book of Job in the original Hebrew it says Elohim is the Adversary of Yahweh.

[@vincentvoillot6365]

@@Mortismors True, but does it matter ? The Coran is not translated and still there more than one interpretation. Whatever you recognize the old testament (the Torah), the Coran, or the old and new testaments (bible), it doesn't change that much It is the same "concept" of the all mighty perfect being with all the philosophical issues that come with. Kevin Smith touched some of them in this movie.

[@Mortismors]

@@vincentvoillot6365 knowing the correct translation helps. Take Iblis, in Islam he is the devil and was the Adversary to God but he wasn't a fallen Angel he is the first of the Jinn. The whole story of Lucifer rebelling and falling with a third of the Angels is a made up story by those scribes embellishing a previous story about the wicked ones before the flood. If you take the books of Job and first Enoch in the original Hebrew they tell of this Iblis and his sons of Elohim who sinned against the birds and beasts and ate human flesh. These were the ones the flood was sent to wipe out. This Adversary to God this god king who wanted to be the Lord of the World gets remembered as the Devil as the Adversary (Satan). But he's just a mortal king, sure he was so evil he gets remembered through time but without correct translations you get superstitions. And I would argue people believe more in the superstitions than the religions original teachings.

[@madeincda]

​@@Mortismors That's interesting to me. I've been trying to bone up on my religious history and have been wondering if there's a way I can get a legitimate translation from the original texts because I figured it would be a lot easier than trying to learn Hebrew.

[@vincentvoillot6365]

​@@Mortismors That is not my point, this is still details. Good versus Evil is the duality of men, whatever the protagonist are called. If God is all knowing, being past, present and future, that mean he know everything you did, doing and will do. This include Adam and Eve eating an apple. So he did knew that it will happen and banish them from paradise anyway ? Or did he created them at his "image", with free will (including the possibility of disobeying his order) and didn't knew what they will do ? God cannot be wrong.. So he knew after creating humanity, he will have to kill everyone except Noah and his family ? God cannot be omnipotent and good, there is evil in this world (diseases, natural catastrophes), so he cannot or don't want to stop it. Nothing intelligent created us, proof of it, using the same path for eating and breathing. Any decent engineer would tell you this is dumb. I can go on, but that is not a question of translation or interpretation.

[@marshallprince2583]

If you haven't seen Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, there's a nod to that movie here. In that movie, Indiana Jones throws a nazi SS officer out the window of a zeppelin.

If you watch the scenes with George Carlin as the cardinal, you'll see that he has a band-aid on his ring finger.

And since a cardinal wouldn't be married, they had to cover it up for the movie.

This is one of my favorite movies and it's unbelievable the Avengers Level Threat cast this movie has for being such an underappreciated gem.

[@Nexus6BT]

Technically, the content of the movie isn't the reason you can't rent or officially stream it anywhere, but I guess it kind of indirectly is. The movie was originally supposed to be released by Miramax in 1998, but Disney (who owned Miramax at the time) didn't want to be associated with it, so they refused to put it out. Then Harvey Weinstein bought the film outright and made a theatrical distribution deal with Lions Gate (who finally released the movie in 1999) and a home media deal with Sony. Both of those deals expired years ago, so the rights reverted to Weinstein. (The Sony DVD and Blu-ray releases are long out of print, but used copies are out there.) According to Kevin Smith, he's tried to buy the movie back, but Weinstein was asking an exorbitant price that he couldn't (and no one else wanted to) pay.

You miss the reference to "the morning star", which is a reference to Lucifer. It's when Bartleby and Loki have been tossed off the train by Silent Bob and Bartleby is now full-on committed to having a war on God that he's hit with that reference; Lucifer led the very first revolt against God, fell from Heaven, and founded Hell. At least in the Catholic canon. I think you also missed the reference to that Mooby Cow: the Golden Calf, aka 'idolatry'. Alanis Morissette is overlooked nowadays as God, but what's worse is NO ONE recognizes Bud Cort ("Brewster McCloud", "Harold and Maude") also as God. It's Bud Cort as God that the three hockey demon kids beat up and put in the hospital, trapping God from intervening with Bartleby and Loki's plan to enter the church arch and destroy reality. Bud Cort was an incredible actor in his younger days. Bethany learning the Truth of her ancestry, then falling into 'random water' seems a mash-up of Jesus being baptized by his cousin John the Baptist and Jesus's agony in the Garden of Gethsemane when Jesus asked if this 'cup' (the coming crucifixion) could be taken from him. Joseph and Mary were indeed married. Jesus had, IIRC, 3 siblings via Joseph.

Amazing news, everyone! Kevin Smiths classic film Dogma, which has been in rights holder hell for years, will soon be easy to watch again. Harvey Weinstein famously owned the rights to this movie for many years, and since his arrest, there's been no way to stream it and buying copies online has been expensive. But just recently, a company has bought the rights away from Weinstein, and Kevin Smith revealed that they are set to re-release the film in 2025. This will include new physical DVD and Blu-ray copies, as well as a theatrical run with Smith personally touring the film. This may also include a place to stream it in high quality. Smith has also hinted at the possibility of doing a sequel. As someone who has been trying to find a physical copy for years, I'm so excited to be able to buy it when it comes out next year.

I’ll miss him forever. Rest in Peace, Voice of God.

When you are saying "Immaculate Conception" you actually mean the dogma of "Virgin Birth." It is a common error; Immaculate Conception is a different dogma stating that Biblical Mary was conceived without Original Sin (yet another dogma).

[@williamhughes2412]

Thanks! I came here to say exactly this. I am not even religious but it amazes me how many people get this confused.

[@Johnny_Socko]

Seriously, thank you for clarifying this. I am not a Catholic, but I should be better at knowing these basic tenets.

[@professorbugbear]

This is not only one of my favorite View Askew movies, but this is one of my favorite movies of all time.

[@jrobwoo688]

I have a t-shirt with Jay & Silent Bob that says, “A Woman’s body is Her own f@$&ing business.” I absolutely love this movie soooo much. I hope that you continue the View Askewniverse journey.

[@vincenzobonadonna4556]

I've always had my own body, I might have grown inside my mother, but it's MY body.

[@chrisrowe2308]

Crazy that my blu ray copy of this is now worth more than $200.

[@celticson]

Editing this must have been a nightmare, having to blank out all those f-bombs. And I've been wondering why Jay and Bob count as prophets for a long time. I think it's because, since they're present for every movie in this series, they're kind of like the narrators.

[@DavidStowers-o7k]

"Snooch To The Muthafukkin Noochies." Is in my opinion the GREATEST opening line for any character EVER.

[@Korey1121]

Best part about this movie was when it was in theaters people were protesting it. Kevin Smith went down and joined the protesters and did an interview on the news talking about how the movie is horrible and blasphemous lmfao.

[@nattyboh2944]

This movie is just....splendid.

[@pantlessreactions]

I rented this & Galaxy Quest at the same time, not knowing Alan Rickman was in both. Was A great movie weekend

[@RoGueNavy]

Possibly Rickman's greatest role!!

[@davidcorriveau8615]

Silent Bob's line 'No ticket.' Is a quote of Indiana Jones. Dr. Jones threw someone out of a zeppelin and then used the same line to 'calm' the rest of the passengers in the lounge.

[@tommywalker3746]

Clerks 3 turned out to be pretty good ties up the whole story neatly

[@GenAqua]

I haven't seen Dogma in years. It's so hard to find.

[@andrewgrossman4982]

Chris Rock (Rufus, the guy who fell from the sky and “looks familiar”) has been the most lauded stand-up comic in the US since the 1990s. His movie *Top Five* is my second favorite comedy of this millennium and I highly highly recommend it. I’ll add, the special that rocketed him to super-stardom is called “Bring The Pain”. It is amazing and it would be wonderful to see your reaction to it; but, and this sucks about modern culture, I genuinely think you would feel really uncomfortable being authentic in your reactions if you knew you were going to present it to the world. So maybe you should watch it on your own time. But definitely watch it. And his other specials, too. Most recently he was slapped by Will Smith at the Oscars, which I’m sure you heard about.

[@CannonRaw]

I'm curious what's your number one comedy?

[@andrewgrossman4982]

@@CannonRaw All time? The original *The Producers *(1967). This millennium? *Midnight In Paris*.

[@ElisaH_DarklyiShine]

The song 'still' by Alanis morrissette at the end credits is gorgeous. Beautiful lyrics

[@boristurovskiy351]

So excited for this, one of my all-time fav movies!

[@Mike-ix5sv]

Love this movie, glad i have it on dvd still. Old kevin smith is so good! Clerks and dogma are two of the funniest movies ever imo.

I remember really liking Dogma. That was also the peak of my Linda Cardellini and Salma Hayek phases.

[@L3onOfKings]

Are you mixing your Linda actresses up? Linda Cardellini or Linda Fiorentino?

[@traydevon]

@@L3onOfKings Yes...although I did also have a Cardellini phase, too, but I was older then.

[@wilgarcia1]

OMG one of my All time FAVORITE FILMS =D

[@KevinLyda]

I hope someone has pointed you at the video of Kevin Smith on the local channel 12 news protesting this film. It's hilarious and the reporters totally don't buy his claim that he's not Kevin Smith!

[@KevinLyda]

If not, this is the video: 4-7dvf7EUwY Not sure if we can post links here, so that's just the video id. It starts with Kevin Smith telling the story (and he has a lot of good stories - definitely go find more) and ends with the news clip. As hints for other Kevin Smith stories, search for "Kevin Smith story" and add "Prince" or "Superman" or "Tim Burton" and then take some ibuprofen to help with the muscle pain from laughing your arse off.

[@pillar81]

2:21 When the Cardinal was wiggling his hands and the the guitar sounds came out. Very Bill and Ted.

[@bobcharles1204]

Great movie! A true classic! 👍 ❤

[@Gabriel-by4fd]

Although in the end he went crazy, I always thought that Bartleby was right, God applied a much harsher punishment to them than they really deserved, I mean beyond Loki's rude gesture towards God, he only suggested to his friend to quit his job and take another one that doesn't involve killing, too much punishment for so little

[@bubgarumbinonvarz1677]

If they had taljed about islam in that way, the moviemakers would be dead.

[@TheRetroManRandySavage]

True. That's because Christians are easy targets that don't fight back, unfortunately.

[@KennyfuckingPowers]

Because those followers are insecure

[@Johnny_Socko]

Wow, it's great that you watched this one, Mary! It seems to be a rarity among KZbinrs (for good reason I guess). Much respect. I still think this is Kevin Smith's most thoughtful and personal movie. His subsequent movies have not been as ambitious (although they are still entertaining).

[@Charlie_Wolfe]

41:00 he’s not happy to be human, they have to become human in order to die and end existence. Jay cut off his wings so all he had to do was walk through the archway. Neither of them went to heaven they went to hell as God’s original decree

[@KoshNaranick]

you found this movie!!! well done! I had it on VHS .. well done!!

[@traydevon]

She said Chris Rock looks “familiar.” 😅

[@marshallprince2583]

In response to your questions, consider the following: The Romans actually needed Judas to identify Jesus from among the apostles, meaning he looked no different from any of them. The average Semite man at the time would have had tan skin. Not white, not black. Regarding Jesus' siblings, they were not conceived by God, but they were his siblings and raised in the same household. The Council of Nice made many editorial decisions as to the finished version of the Bible.
