• According to DVD Debate, Dogma will arrive on the format in the UK this July (through FilmFour).
• Speaking of the UK, Dogma television ads have started to air on Channel 4. They’re about 30 second spots. Many of ourreaders have written in to let us know, so they must be airing fairly frequently. Look for them!
• Dogma made Cheryl Eddy’s top ten list in the San Francisco Bay Guardian. You can read the full list HERE.
• Oh, and one last thing, Kevin is officially NOT part of the Mage feature film project. His busy schedule over the nextfew months (combined with the fast track the film has been put on) just won’t allow it to happen. This was announced a few days ago, and we didn’t think it was TOO noteworthy — But since we’ve been getting lots of folks writing in to let us know, wefigured some of you others may want to as well. Sorry for all the scoopers we missed on this one, we had numerous e-mailscome in on it.
• And finally today, in this week’s Marvel Comics, in Bullpen Bulletins, Stan Lee is asked “I thought you were cool in ‘Mall Rats.’ [sic] Is it true what you said in the movie, when you mentioned that each character you create represents apart of you? And when you met the writer/director Kevin Smith, what did you think of him?”. Stan says:

• Here’s today’s most popular submission: It seems that an Archdiocese in Newark, New Jersey is starting a billboard ad campaign as well as a toll-free number manned by an actual priest! Dogma isn’t mentioned anyway, but the idea of a modern revival of sorts DID remind a lot of you of the “Catholicism Wow!” campaign. The article is quite long, so we won’t be printing it in full here, but it’s linked online for ya HERE.

Oh, and that number? 1-877-Y-NOT-CALL.

• We’ve got some excellent shots from the UK today that most of you probably haven’t seen yet. First, there’s 3 different versions of the Dogma poster that were created exclusively for the Film Four Dogma campaign. As you can see, each feature 2 of the film’s main characters. Next, the entire ensemble on a nice banner-style ad, followed by a couple of shots of said banner in billboard form, out in the wild! Finally, another colorful variation on the ensemble and a circular (button of some sort, perhaps?) look at the Buddy Christ. All of these pics, of course, enlarge, so click the thumbnails for a much closer look. Many thanks go to Kevin & Kim for getting the exclusive shots to us. It’s very interesting seeing how different an ad campaign can be for the same exact movie opening elsewhere in the world.
