In Reply to: The confession of a pirated Dogma bootleg watcher posted by Quick~Stop on February 21, 2001 at 08:40:39:
: To Kevin, the cast of Dogma, and the View Askew crew,
: I am so, so sorry, but after months and months of waiting for Dogma (months after US release), I finally got the chance to see it in a cinema, the only one in Adelaide, South Australia, Australia that had it.
: I have posted about that on the board a long time ago-it was the Bethany:"What gear are you in?"
: Jay:"Gear?"
: scene, when the power went out in five suburbs, cutting off all of the films playing.
: I know I should have just come back and seen it another day, but a guy I know offered to lend me a pirate bootleg VCD copy of Dogma.
: It was like dangling money in front of a penniless guy.
: Even though the sound was crappy and the video was fuzzy, I watched it.
: I really wish I had gone and watched the cinema version in Dolby, like movies are intended.
: I also wish I could give you a lead on where it came from, since the guy was too stupid to know how to bootleg, but I don't remember finding anything significant to find the guys who did it.
: If it counts for anything, I *did* rent Clerks, Mallrats and Chasing Amy many times on VHS, and really look forward to J&SBSB next year **IN** the cinema (in Australia most likely 6 months afterwards.) and I love the films so much I plan to get the DVDs too.(I just got a DVD player I saved ages for.)
: I really hate the fact that I got to see your hard work and be entertained, and I didn't pay one cent for the great movie.
: My sincerest apologies.
