Dogma Theater List Online, Split Screen Moves…

November 11th @ 12:00 am | No Comments » | Scooped by Jeff Bair & Ming

  • Two newsbites from the official Dogma site today. First of all, they’ve compiled an almost complete listing of all the theaters in the United States that will have the flick this Friday. Keep in mind that this isn’t set in stone, and there will be many theaters added. Some may also get removed, too. This is a great guideline, though, and an amazing feat. Read the list HERE.
  • Also, the Split Screen show on IFC has moved part 2 to a new time, and it’s been revealed that some of Lee’s famous cut monologue will appear with the program. Here’s the official word:
Split Screen – Kevin Smith Uncensored: This Ain’t No Press Junket (Part 2)MORE INFO: Earlier we had informed you of a very in-depth 2-part interview with Kevin Smith which was to air on the TV show Split Screen on the Independent Film Channel. We would like to offer a correction to some of the information we previously offered. It was previously posted that Part 2 would air on November 8th and November 13th. This has been moved and the segment can now be seen on November 15th at 8:00pm and 11:00pm and November 20th at 5:30pm.

We would also like to note that Part 2 does include a scene featuring Jason Lee that was cut out of the final release for time and pacing reasons. Just trying to add some more incentives for watching the show.

Dogma’s LA Premiere Party!

November 11th @ 12:00 am | No Comments » | Scooped by Brad & Chris

  • Wow, this was news to us — Apparently Dogma had its Los Angeles premiere last night, and along with it, a celebrity packed post party! An anonymoyus scooper who was there checks in with the guest list, the scene, and more:
People attending the screening and party (at Dominick’s on Sunset):

Kev
Scott
Ben
Jason (a much bigger guy than he appears on screen)
Alanis
Salma
Bud Cort
Giovanni Ribisi (Saving Private Ryan, Mod Squad)
Ed Norton (most recently of Fight Club)
Harvey Weinstein
Henry Thomas (only saw him at party; don’t know about screeing)
Michael Keaton (only saw him at party; don’t know about screeing)
Someone told me they saw Gwyneth Paltrow, but I didn’t see her myself.
There were also about 5-10 people who I recognized, but couldn’t place.

The screening went very well, and the crowd was enthusiastic. Of course, the biggest laughs were for Jay, who gets the best lines. Kev and Scott were introduced by a guy from Lions Gate, and then Kev spoke for a few minutes. He pointed out that it’s interesting screening it for the Godless, soulless Hollywood crowd. The new cuts (saw it last many months ago) all worked very well, although I hope they show up in some form on the DVD (one good thing about it not being a Disney film isthat maybe we’ll get a better DVD).

The party was jammed. There were basically four rooms, one of them being the “celebrity” room. That’s where all the stars were, with the one exception being Jason Lee, who was in another room with some friends. Naturally, the celebrity room was hard to get into. There were also a lot of women in that room who were exactly as good-looking as they obvously knew they were. I don’t know how long it went on, but I left at about 12:15 (had to get back to work, believe it or not), and it was still going strong. Salma and Ed Norton left at around 11 (nottogether).

Commentary…

  • Incredible amounts of news continue to pour in as the week continues. It’s funny, ya think that JUST when we’ve caught up on everything, that there can’t be ANY more news to tell POSSIBLY…50 more e-mails come down. Phew! It’s been nuts around here. We’re doing our best to keep up and get back to you, but it’s been tough keeping on top of EVERYTHING, so our apologies for the small mistakes and news items that we may have missed or gotten to late. We expect things to get back to regular speed about a week or so after the flick’s been out, but until then expect these fast-paced, Dogma-filled updates to be filling your screen.

That being said, let’s get going with things. As with the past few days, MAJOR Dogma articles and reviews have been shipped directly over to Dogma RC, with some smaller View Askew NewsBites stuck to the front page here. The major story right now IS Dogma, so we haven’t been running many non-Dogma headlines this week, we’ve just been throwing things up in the easiest to digest format we can.

Today, thanks go toAug, Jason Kastner, Vishal Sharma, Nick Lynch, Tom, Chris Adkins, Jamie Lorance, Matt Ebert, Matt Perrone, Rugmuncher, Tricia Hough, Jeff Spivack, Matt H, Phil Kong, Brent F., J Fields,Mark Zalikowski, Amy Welborn & Josh Kern for the Dogma RC contributions.

  • In a roundtable discussion with the press yesterday, Kevin revealed that Jay & Silent Bob did indeed film a cameo appearance for “Scream 3”. So, that settles the rumors…Unless, of course, they get cut from the film. No pun intended.
  • We got lots of mail on this one today. The Onion, a parody website, ran an article titled “Jewish Anti-Deprecation League Protests New Woody Allen Movie” which seems like a parody on Dogma’s troubles with the Catholic League. At presstime, it’s on their front page. They’ve also added an interview with George Carlin.
  • Here’s an interesting EBay item It’s a shirt that Matt Damon wore in Dogma (or a replica of such shirt.) The price is high on this sucker, but we’re not sure if this is a one-of-a-kind deal or just a copy. Bid carefully, and be sure to ask the seller for details.
  • We hear that the Negley Avenue church in Pittsburgh that appears in a lot of the scenes in Dogma has been condemned by the city! So sad! The associated press in that area is currently working on a full story.
  • Remember that flick we mentioned Salma Hayek might be involved in the other day? Well guess what? It looks like it may already be in the can! Check this out, courtesy of Cinescape.Com:
Forget Roger Corman’s record on the original Little Shop of Horrors, it looks as if Leaving Las Vegas helmer Mike Figgis is going to easily break that two day record with his shot-on-digital-cameras Time Code 2000 which he planned to shoot in. 93 minutes. While talking to the JAM Movies website, Figgis explained how he would accomplish this task today (yes, today), saying, “It’s basically shooting an entire feature film in 93 minutes on one tape. Obviously the actors have to know their timing. It’s all a bit of a mind-blowing idea. It’s entirely gratuitous on my part. I’m just fascinated by the reductive process that video offers.”

In addition, Figgis, who is staying quiet about more specifics in the film, revealed that the shoot will start (started) in Los Angeles at noon and will include four locations as well as one of the actors participating in a live online chat.

The site also reports that Figgis has already shot the film. Figgis says, “I’ve shot it already. I’m just shooting it again (today). It’ll become clear very soon. I can’t talk about it right now.”

Sounds interesting, for sure. Salma, by the way, heads to Kosovo with the USO to visit troops from the 22nd-27th this month.

  • A transcript of Kevin’s Politically Incorrect appearance should be available at ABC’s website later today. We’ve ALSO got a full transcript of that conversation from Hannity and Colmes – Turns out one of the guys was William Donohue himself! The transcript can be found in the articles section of Dogma RC.

Dogma Soundtrack’s Missing Score Bits…

November 11th @ 12:00 am | No Comments » | Scooped by Vincent

  • We’ve been receiving lots of mail praising Howard Shore’s score for Dogma, now available in record stores everywhere in soundtrack form (also with the infamous Mooby song as well as Alanis’s new track, “Still”). Vincent took a listen to the CD himself and was quick to point out that, surprisingly, some of the film’s score is actually MISSING from the disc. One of his favorite tracks, the music playing at the Mooby restaurant (which in the film plays distorted and ‘tinny’ since it’s coming from loudspeakers), and the music during the first Cardinal Glick scene (the organ music). There may be more, but we just wanted to make you aware — If you liked the score, you’ll hear even more of it this weekend, and hopefully perhaps even get a chance to hear the score isolated on Dogma’s DVD. By the way, sorry, but we don’t have the Mooby song lyrics. No lyrics were included with the Dogma CD soundtrack and they’ve yet to be published on the web.
