Just wanted to tell you and the board about Dogma in Wisconsin. Tonight was the 2nd night in a row that I have seen Dogma. Both nights at the 7 pm show, the theatre was about 80% full. A great mixture of members made up the audience from people in their 50's to young kids. I really expected more young teen girls to come because of the Affleck and Damon Factor.
The audiences' reactions were great. Everyone seemed to have a great time and the laughter was non-stop. Jay really did steal the show. Both nights the most laughter came from when Jay yelled out "Beautiful Big-titty women just don't fall out of the sky you know..." after Rufus fell out of the sky, that lined killed!
My girlfriend even came and saw it for the second time tonight too. She loved it! She also pointed out that in the background of Affleck and Damon talking about the loophole the Nun that Loki talked to was drinking a beer and running away with it..this was hilarious and I never even noticed it in the first viewing. Anyone else notice it?
When the movie finished my girlfriend was prepared that we had to stay untill all the credits were done to see what the next Jay and Bob movie would be. At first I thought no one else would stay but i was glady surprised to see about 15 people wait until all the credits rolled. You know I felt a sense of belonging with those people for some odd reason just knowing that they are big fans as well as myself. Anyone else have that feeling when you looked around to see if anyone else was waiting to see what the next flick was going to be? Oh well Just wanted to say that the movie had a great reaction and a pretty good turn out here in Janesville, Wisconsin. The only complaint I had was that every time Wisconsin was mentioned everyone giggle or laugh..that got annoying.
Thanks Kev for making a flick that was funny and entertaining but at the same time was provoked thought about why we are all here and our ideas and beliefs. This movie was indeed a pro-faith flick. Thank you!
