: First, read the review of Dogma by Joe Baltake that Chiusano posted a few lines below, then....
: Goto my reply to Chiusano's post about the Bee review and support Kevin by telling the Bee just what you think about this mean-spirited reviewer Joe Baltake. Thanks!

I don't think bashing someone for expressing their opinion supports Kevin; all it does is try to stifle free speech. And wouldn't that put us on the same level as the Catholic League people, bashing someone just for saying their piece? The guy's a reviewer; his job is to tell people his opinions of movies. And if he doesn't like a movie, it's his job to report this.
He didn't like the movie. We did. C'est la vie. How would you feel if he started emailing you, saying "You suck! Dogma sucked! If you liked Dogma, you're an idiot! You should be fired!" And then he starts emailing your boss at McDonalds or whereever saying that you shouldn't work there anymore.
Support Dogma the best way we can; go see it, and tell your friends about it. And respect those who DARE to criticize it.
