My chronic insomnia led me here, to the View Askewniverse, and I feel like a pilgrim falling to her knees after finally reaching Mecca. Kevin, you are a genius, my man. My main purpose for this posting is to point out how awed I was by Dogma, which I just watched for the fourth time so far. I grew up Catholic, and always voraciously absorbed the history of myths and religions. So, to finally come across a flick made by someone who actually KNEW something about what he believed was borderline orgasmic. It brought me out of the stupor I had been in after seeing Stigmata, hehehe. While I am now a recovering Catholic, I will forever be enamored with the fact that I grew up in such a mystical, yet so often silly, haze of angels, throatblessings, confessing to horrific transgressions such as flicking a booger at my brother, plaid skirts and kneesocks, and priests who were too damn cute to suffer the fate of celebacy. Catholicism is manic and beautiful at the same time, and Kevin, you really nailed the experience...Umm, sorry Jesus, no pun intended...
