Yes I know its an old movie... But I watched it last night again and have to say it one of the funniest movies I have ever seen.
Especially love the part where the two angels, Matt Damon and Ben Affleck are in an office building at some random meeting.
Best part from this scene:
*Ben Affleck leans in and whispers into the Boss' ear.*
Matt Damon: "He's your son you sick Feth!'

What can I say, I love all of kevin smiths movies, and Dogma is probably one of the best.

Toss Jay and Silent Bob in a movie, sprinkle in some poking fun at organized religion and we get a winner.

Seriously: Buddy Christ.... Can you imagine how drunk kevin and co were when they came up with that concept?

Or the good will hunting 2 scetch in Jay and Silent Bob strikes back, "how you like dem apples"...

Then again, I also enjoy watching the smodcasts... So...

Btw, I still think Jay an Silent Bob should guest dtar in more tv series...
Jay and Bob in a HIMYM episode would REALLY make my year...

I love Dogma. Favorite part might be Salma Hayek dancing.

When I read the thread title I thought “what movie, and why are they after dogma’s opinion?”

Meanwhile, it was a decent movie with some funny moments. Let down by some fairly unnecessary shifts in tone, though, and was the poo monster really necessary?

“We may observe that the government in a civilized country is much more expensive than in a barbarous one; and when we say that one government is more expensive than another, it is the same as if we said that that one country is farther advanced in improvement than another. To say that the government is expensive and the people not oppressed is to say that the people are rich.”

I thought it was pretty funny.

Being a PK, comedy at the expense of religion is near and dear to my heart.

Yes, yes it was. The whole movie led up to that point... Knocks strong odors out!

That is true, I knew many PK that I have since lost contact with, and they all loved this film.

Despite being a comedy, you could actually take away some real philosophical questions from that movie.

I didn't get an angry vibe from the Golgothan, more like resigned to the wickedness of men, and the futility of fighting that in a universe dictated by a creator who insisted on exalting men above all his other creations.

I think so. How about you can allways laugh at yourself. Or it's better to have an IDEA than a blind belief.

Think the film is top though, Buddy Christ and the Bishop who blesses his golf clubs for a better game! Silent Bob as a wepon of God! God taking Sabaticals (loved that idea and it kind of explains the dark ages)

I love Silent Bob's only line in the film:

*Throws Ben Affleck and Matt Damon off the train*
*Sees a man poopin himself in the corner all huddled up*
*shrugs*"No Ticket."

Mesopotamia. The Kingdom Where we Secretly Reign.

I actually think it was one of Kevin Smith's weaker films. I'd say weakest if Jersey Girl wasn't here to wreck the curve.

Which isn't to say it was bad, but I'll watch Clerks 2 over Dogma any day of the weak.
