Dogma – November 12th, 1999

What’s It About

Two fallen angels who were ejected from paradise find themselves banned in Wisconsin. They are now headed for New Jersey where they find a loophole that can get them back into heaven. The only catch is that it will destroy humanity. A group bands together to stop them.

Why It’s Gone

There’s a real simple answer – Harvey Weinstein. Back when Kevin Smith was a new director, he just wanted to make movies. A thing he still loves to do today. And those movies were great. Clerks (1994), Mallrats (1995), and Chasing Amy (1997). Those were produced via Miramax, a Disney-owned company. So, when Dogma was released in 1999, the church (and Disney), lost their freaking minds and after many protests, letters, and death threats, Disney said NO. that’s where Weinstein comes in. He bought the rights from Disney and the film got released. Fast-forward to 2018 and we saw Harvey get accused, arrested, and convicted in February 2020 sentenced to 23 years in prison. Needless to say, everything with his name will be extremely difficult to obtain. Especially if he personally bought the rights to it like Dogma. But if you really want it, check eBay, Mercari, or Amazon. I’m sure someone will sell you a copy of their copy for $100, or the real thing for $200.
