Lord, Have Mercy

Oddly, a movie that features a trash-talking Apostle and a female God is not one with which Disney is eager to be associated. Dogma, written and directed by Kevin Smith, takes an unorthodox look at religion, and Disney, producer Miramax’s parent company, fears it will offend Roman Catholics. So Miramax honchos Bob and Harvey Weinstein have said they’ll but the rights to the film and sell it to another distrubitor. Smith, a practicing Roman Catholic, says the movie “was always intended as a love letter to both faith and God almighty.”

Again, just a very brief rehash of some of the larger stuff we printed and discussed earlier, but it’s nice to see thepublicity spreading. We’ll have more for you in the coming days, we expect a few more stories before this all dies down(for a little while, anyway!).
