> However, current tastes and sensitivities make it highly unlikely that a comedy group would even attempt making a film like Brian today. Dogma?

  South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut?

    They meant comedy.

    Actually, any of a long list of South Park episodes. Although, for the most part, SP tends to be far more blunt and direct with its message.

  Good call... but I don't know that the comparison is fair. Dogma basically ends with an obvious "god is good" message which LOB doesn't. On the other hand, Dogma does suggest that none of the organized religions we have is correct...

  Dogma was not done by a comedy group and was not funny. Or insightful. Or good in any way. So no Dogma, should not be compared to Life of Brian.

    I agree. Dogma was simply awful, unless your idea of wit is fart jokes.
  • roundsquare 17y ago
    While I respect your opinion, I think your missing the point. The point is that in both cases, a movie was made about religion that was also (an attempt at) a comedy. That aside, I agree that LOB was more insightful, but I think there is something interesting about what Dogma did. It was an attempt to look at the modern day implications of taking the bible literally. You can say they sucked at it if you want, but its a neat idea.

  Dogma wasn't made by the British.

  Dogma is good, but nothing as cutting as the stoning scene or the mass crucifixion
