Dogma!

Here’s a pakaao riddle… What is a dogma? Answer: A mother of puppies…:-)

Watched ‘Dogma’ a couple of days back. I wonder if the film was a box-office hit. Anyways, it was one delightfully irreverent comedy with a blasphemous sense of humour. Picture this: Matt Damon and Ben Affleck are two fallen angels. They have been banished from Heaven by God because Loki(Matt) disobeyed an order issued by God. Incidentally, he was the appointed angel of Death. A loophole in some ordinance assures them that they’d be able to get back to Heaven. When God and his forces come to know of this, everyone gets together to prevent this. Reason: if the angels ascend to Heaven, effectively, they’re reversing His decree. This would result in complete chaos and destruction. Alan Rickman(stylish guy!) is a seraph who lands in Linda Fiorentino’s bedroom one night and instructs her that it’s her duty to stop the angels. She has been chosen because, as she is told later, she is Jesus’ great, great, great….. grand-niece. She ultimately agrees to this mission, is joined by two guys who’re deemed to be Prophets(Just that all they can think of is bedding her!), Serendipity(an angel played by Salma Hayek) and Rufus(an Afro-American actor) who calls himself the 13th Apostle. Rufus is miffed because the Bible holds no mention of him. According to him, the Bible also has omitted to mention that Jesus is black…..:-)

Well, the story proceeds then on… Some concept!

OOps, forgot the mention, God reveals Herself, in the last reel… and she is none other than Alanis Morrisette…:-)
