    It won't be out until later this year. But I happened to find the script online & I spent half the nite reading it. And it's the funniest & sharpest piece of satire on religion that I've ever read.

    The premise: The great grand niece of Jesus Christ is enlisted to prevent two angels from reentering Heaven and thus undoing the fabric of the universe.

    I didn't bother to see "Clerks". I thought "Chasing Amy" was pertty good/but the 2 guys jumping each other's bones at the end was so tired, IMHO. (Can't men have close friendships w/out it being a latent homo thing?) But if you're a Kevin Smith fan/& you've got some time to kill online/here's the script for his next film, Dogma.

    And in case my linkage sucks:

    Have I ever mentioned that I have a huge, huge Jason Lee thing? Surpassed only by my Kevin Smith thing?

    my wife, some pals & I got drunk with Jason Lee and his cohorts in bar here in hollywood about 6 mos ago, he's an alright guy, very down to earth> And i met Kevin Smith at a convention in Vegas about 2 years ago, long live silent Bob!!!

    i want salma hayek to bounce on my meat puppet.

    did you ever see Mall Rats? I think that was his best film, even theough he himself and the critics tore it to pieces, Chasing was ok, but nothing outta sight.

    and Joey Lauren Adams can "freak on my jock" anytime

    If I could get anywhere near Adrian Paul,I,d be on him like a cheap suit.

    Janeane Garofalo.... Clinic Girl

    Nurse! The screens!

    Unfortunately/there's nobody boffable in the cast for me. Chris Rock's married *sigh*. But I'm sure he's funny as shit as Rufus (the 13th apostle).

    And Swine -- Salma's character is an ex- celestial turned stripper in the movie/so you shd get lots of eye candy -- at least when she 1st appears.
