- This website has posted a Dogma poll of sorts, folks how they feel about movies making religous interpretations and their right to make light of some of it. Check it out (and hey, vote in our new poll topic too!)
- Wow, Ethan Supplee in the news AGAIN! He’s everywhere! A scooper spotted the big guy filming a stint for “Road Trip” the other day. Here’s his report:
I am a student at the University of Georgia and Dreamworks is filming a movie here called “Road Trip”. While I was walking through campus I stopped by to see what was going on and who else do I see but Ethan Suplee filming a scene with MTV’s own Tom Green. I know the movie is directed by Todd Phillips and also features Breckin Meyer, Crispin Glover, Andy Dick, and I also heard Drew Berrymore may be making a cameo. But I thought that was interesting and thought you guys might be interested in hearing that.
- Claire Forlani has officially joined the “Boys And Girls” cast, replacing Anna Friel. Heather Donohue (THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT) and Freddie Prinze Jr. also star in this upcoming Miramax flick.
- The new issue of Alternative Press (with Chris Cornell on the cover) has a small interview with Jason Lee. They alsohave a bit on Dogma in their movie section. It’s a mini review but a bit tepid, since they seem to feel the flick’s onlygeared towards fans of Kev’s other work…Not that we agree, but here’s what they said:
They also have a bit on Dogma in their movie section. How is it? theyask…”Good…if you like Kevin Smith. As annoying as his characters canbe, Smith has proven himself to be a smart, insightful filmmaker with aknack for spinning wonderful webs of dialogue. This time out, he does forChristianity what his earlier films did for sex and comic books.”
They finish by giving it a rating of 3 (on a scale of 1-5) which was a point higher than Elmo In Grouchland, but a pointlower than Bringing Out The Dead. It would have been insulting to have been beaten by a red fuzzy dude.
- By the way, wondering what Dogma’s up against next month? New flicks include Anywhere But Here, Light It Up andLuc Besson’s The Messenger: The Story Of Joan Of Arc. The latter may be cool, but since the TV version’s come and gone, we expect Dogma to clean up the weekend of November 12th.
- George Carlin will be the guest for an upcoming Comedy Central chat on October 26 at 8pm Eastern Time. Make sure you get logged on early, it’s sure to be a great time for all!
Alright, back to the packing and the moving! We’ll catch ya when we can. Again, sorry for the less frequent updates, and the slowness and shortness of e-mails — It’s gonna be like this for the next week or so ’til we can get resettled.
