- The upcoming release of “Bruce Almighty†has many news outlets running pieces on God in film. Naturally, Dogma’s coming up in a bunch of them. This first blurb comes from an AP article that appeared on CNN and Yahoo today (the CNN version also features a photo of Alanis with a Dogma-related caption):
One film that did address a particular religion — writer-director Kevin Smith’s “Dogma†— explored Roman Catholicism from the point of view of two disaffected potheads. That film featured disheveled actor Bud Cort as a Skeeball-playing God who later takes the form of singer Alanis Morissette. The comedy led to an outcry from conservative Catholics angry over the film’s profanity, dirty jokes and casting of a female rock star known for raunchy, angry lyrics as God.
Also see the Christian Science Monitor for a small mention. Most other sites are just picking up the same AP article we ran the text from above.
