I agree with you on fiorentino, she came off as having the personality of a dead fish in the movie, but I DID enjoy dogma otherwise, all the others i think were casted great. I dont too much enjoy her in anything else either....
But cmon..Brian was mediocre? Can you provide us with someone else that coulda done better as Dante, and keep in mind its gotta be someone Kevin could have gotten back before he was famous.
I can identify with dante and randal...although I wasnt a clerk, I used to work a taco bell built inside an exxon gas station/convenient store and I had to share all the duties and situations with the clerks that did work there. There was many a time I wanted to rip into the occational customer, and believe me we got some colorful people in there...

: Ok here's my beef. I think every role in each VA flick is perfectly casted-- except the leads (with the exception of Affleck in Amy) Brian O'Halloran was a mediocre Dante, but it's not like at that particular point and time they had much control over casting... Jeremy London, I really didnt like in Mallrats, and thought it coulda been better casted...
: But the one I *really* hated was Fiorentino in DOGMA. I find her to be a pretty horrible actress, particularly in this flick. She sucks at line delivery, which is pretty important in a diologue movie... The only flick I've seen her be even mediocre in was _What Planet Are You From?_. Anyways, thoughts?
