To whom it may concern:
I can't believe the shit that went down in my own town... my OWN FUCKING town! The first night that Dogma was playing locally, me and a couple close friends went to see it (My pal Tom, home from Boot camp for Christmas, big fan of the Skew, hadn't seen Dogma yet). Anyway, "the film got messed up." said one of the projectionists. So, we left & went back to my place to watch The Matrix.
Next night, "the trailers were in the middle, the end at the beginning, & one can was missing" said the manager... still no Dogma! I know... I had already seen it... but my pal had 5 weeks left of B-camp, & he's leaving in 5 fucking days! Denied again.
Night after the next, no show... no explanation. So, we did a bit of detective work. Turns out, this bastard working at the theatre was sabotaging the showings at request of people in his church congregation.
We brought this to the attention of the manager, and all we caught was a dead end... he told us that the movie wasn't going to get played, because the canisters were all missing. Some shit.
Makes you wonder, Christianity & Catholisism consider Dogma "blasphemy", yet they see nothing wrong with stealing. What do you, the View Askew fans, think we should do in rebuttle? Let me know, & we'll take photos & post em for you all to see on the site.

P.S. - CLerks: The Lost Scene was great, but short. Keep up the good work Kev, just put more in those "funny papers".
