Saturday night, after seeing Star Trek: Insurrection, I was walking out of the theater complex, where a woman was handing out free passes to a movie…DOGMA. It’s a pass for two for tonight (12/15) at the Riverview theater in Philadelphia. I had to call and reserve my seats, and there were restrictions on age (you had to be between 17 & 34).

Could it be the famous Dogma Test Screening we’ve been hearing so much about!??!? Sounds like IT!!! Our scooper promises us a follow-up tomorrow. If anyone else caught it, drop us a line! We’d love to compare notes. Full details and a review or two are sure to come here at News Askew. Maybe we’ll even hear from Kevin on some of the test scores. Ours were through the roof, of course, but we don’t count. Anyway, watch this space!!!
