UNCUT - Dogma (1999)

I enjoy Dogma a fair bit. It's probably my 2nd favorite Smith movie after the original Clerks. I don't really have a lot to say about it other than even after decades it's still funny to me. And most movies aren't like that. Take from that what you will.

Great reaction to a fave movie, also I agree the impressive parking garage Affleck/Damon performance does stand out in the film. Surprisingly, if you'd like to see more of Jason Mewes, he live streams on Twitch. Side note- I watched this reaction 3 hours after seeing The Odyssey and have to admit, the difference from this and Dogma’s Matt Damon performance is like night and day.

I wouldn't call them outright villains, but a few early Affleck 'antagonist' roles include: Dazed & Confused Mallrats (second Kevin Smith movie!) Boiler Room (more a cameo, and more a 'bad influence' character - also includes pre-fame Vin Diesel!)

Yea I can never tell if Linda Florentino is good or bad. She’s good in the emotional scenes. In the river, getting drunk with Bartleby, she seems very glib with the Metatron and Rufus. She’s good at the end with God. You’re not saying where they’re like. Can God make a rock so heavy that even he can’t lift it? It’s like the voice of god, isn’t God powerful enough to make his voice not kill people?

I haven’t seen this since I was a teenager. Might have to check this out.

Kevin Smith isn’t anti religion he’s actually a devout catholic

I LOVE Chasing Amy! It’s so rare to find other people who like it, even among Kevin Smith fans (some think it’s too earnest/mainstream and not irreverent enough).

"Immaculate Conception". That's the phrase you were looking for. Also, my favorite scene was cut out. You can google it ("azrael cut scene, evil is an abstract") or watch here if Patreon allows links: https://youtu.be/CfgeGEudWVU?is=sgj2p7aubrYPQIyz

To answer your question, Kevin Smith is Catholic. There was a bunch of protests from certain people as a result of this film. In proper Kevin Smith fashion, he actually joined in at these and protested his own film. Jason Mews is so good at his character, because he is just playing himself. Kevin told him that he had to act opposite of Alan Rickman, a "real actor". Jason was so worked up about it and didn't want to look bad in front of him, so he actually memorized his lines.

One thing. Dogma came out in 1999, and the movie you were thinking of, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back came out AFTER this in 2001. Then Reboot came out all the way in 2019.

This movie is the shit (literally). I watch it at least once a year. I guess I'm watching it again today!

Two older pop culture references you may not have gotten The first was "Don't make me angry. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry" from the 1970s Incredible Hulk TV show https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dHSxQ2RRD9o The second was "She can rebuild her. She has the technology" from the opening credits of "The Six Million Dollar Man" https://youtu.be/9pUaeLtXM_A?si=q4MOFMncm1Uxp2i1&t=36 Both super-campy shows from back in the day

Nearly three decades of watching this movie and somehow.... I *never* noticed the red/grey reversed shirt/trim thing from Loki and Bartleby Stop pointing out my inadequacies! 🤣

I assume you guys have seen Good Will Hunting, based on your reaction to this, and the sort of episodes you like in Star Trek, I think that would land well.

Ahhh... I've already had about 7 or 8 "Strike one's", so what's one more? 😁😁

Oh sweeeeeeeeet pull. Clicking harder.

Wait, God as a human was Bud Cort? He died last February. Alanis Moriset played God as the woman. She also sang the song Still which I belive was played during the end credits.

Great movie request!

HELL YES!! I adore this movie! Jersey represent! I live 10min from that church. It's in Red Bank NJ.

Not TA watching one of the greatest movies of all time!
