    Dogma (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 12/29/11 6:58 AM Dogma (film) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Dogma is a 1999 American adventure fantasy comedy film written and directed by Kevin Smith, who also stars in the Dogma film along with an ensemble cast that includes Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, Linda Fiorentino, Alan Rickman, Bud Cort, Salma Hayek, Chris Rock, Jason Lee, George Carlin, Janeane Garofalo, Alanis Morissette, and Jason Mewes. Brian O'Halloran and Jeff Anderson, the stars of Smith's debut film Clerks, have cameo roles, as do Smith regulars Scott Mosier, Dwight Ewell, Walt Flanagan, and Bryan Johnson. The fourth film set in the View Askewniverse is a hypothetical-scenario film revolving around the Catholic Church and Catholic belief, which caused organized protests and much controversy in many countries, delaying release of the film and leading to at least two death threats against Smith.[2][3] The film follows two fallen angels, Loki and Bartleby, who, through a loophole in Catholic Dogma, find a way to get back into Heaven after being cast out by God.

Since age sixteen or so, I would rely on the music magazines (and eventually websites) curated by members of Gen X for signals about what sorts of music I should listen to, what kinds of old albums were schlock and which would earn me a respectful nod from the record store clerk when I purchased them, and eventually what sorts of films were worthwhile.
