DOGMA
This 1999 film was one that we had not seen before. I taped it last Thursday and we watched it today. My Leader's comments at the end were that it had been clever, thought-provoking and worthwhile. It had probably brought out the 'Let's Scream Blasphemy' brigade in their droves, too. Oh, and in the final picture shots she had not seen the one who hardly spoke - he was good - who was he?
He was, of course, Kevin Smith. He also directed the film, wrote it, played the inspired character Silent Bob and sensibly gave the funniest line in his excellent script to Alan Rickman (the morose angel Metatron) who, asked whether the main protagonista had been condemned to hell, replied: 'Worse than that - Wisconsin.'
Kevin Smith is a bright star that we almost missed.
REBUS
Good old Rebus (Ken Stott) was back on the box last night, scoffing at the threats of the unholy and ignoring those who insisted he 'back off.'
When a villain points at him and says: 'I'll tell you the difference between you and me...' at the start of an episode, you just know that by the end the silly man is going to be told: 'Now I'll tell you the difference...'
I expect you think you could write 'em?
It only looks easy.
