Question for Kevin Smith fans....

Do you consider "Dogma" as part of the View Askewniverse? I ask because I realized while watching Chasing Amy that despite having Jay and Silent Bob in it, there's no connection to other characters in the series.

1. Yeah.

If you look, there's a comic called "Chasing Dogma" written by Kevin Smith (I think) about what Jay and Silent Bob do between Chasing Amy and Dogma; how they show up in the Planned Parenthood parking lot looking for chicks after consoling the dude in Chasing Amy. I know that Chasing Dogma is canon.

So yeah, Dogma is canon.

4. I had heard of that

but the I always considered books/comics based on movies to exist separately than the movies themselves.

2. All I know is that Dogma rules, but Chasing Amy SUCKED BIGTIME!!!

I'm sorry....I just couldn't get past the fact that the woman playing Amy had THE MOST ANNOYING VOICE IN THE WORLD, couldn't act, and considered that shouting represented the full range of emotions.

I was also uncomfortable with the whole idea that lesbians just hadn't met the right bloke yet....

Having said that, there are some good lines/scenes in there.

Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back was hilarious, but Dogma was a work of genius - intelligent and very satirical.

IMHO of course.

5. I love "Dogma"

A great meditation on religion, and extremely funny. Kevin Smith pulled it off: being reverent in all the right places, and irreverent toward things that deserved irreverence. And I couldn't stop laughing.

3. anyone else notice the cartoon was Extremely Good?

I caught the all day marathon of all 6 eps a coupla months ago..it was funny. It was sharp. It was canceled.

Higher powers must have been at work, cause it was a great show.
