Yes, I agree. The opinion on "Dogma" aside, what really riled me was that he attacked the reviewer for having an opinion. The response will be respectful, and I will finish writing it as soon as the turkey wears off; it's warping my mind.
Free Speech anyone?

: ...I'd actually stray away form the scathing part of that. Despite disagreeing with his opinion (after all, opinions are like assholes- everyone has one) I found his letter to be rather well written, thought out and to the point. From the looks of things, he actually saw the movie. Plus for "Dogma." He didn't like it. His call. But, if you go after this guy with guns blazing it'll only serve to create a backlash for you the likes of which you wouldn't like.
: If I were in your shoes, I'd defend the movie using examples of how "Dogma" actually can be seen as a movie that affirms faith, and give a positive response. Hell, if worse comes to worse it'll make you look like a good guy in the end.
: Of course, I could be wrong.
