Hello!

Just joined the group tonite and did some quick lurking.  I joined 
because I *needed* to post something about a movie I saw last night. 
(I really wasn't aware of this group so I posted it on PoU and kinda 
got "redirected", as Carole said.  

Anyhow, I'm Anna, I live in southeastern Massachusetts (Wanda the 
Witch, we're practically neighbors!!; well, I guess in the grand 
scheme of things . . .)( and yes Tabouli, Boston is the ONLY place to 
be on the Fourth of July!! )I got three kids, a dog, a turtle, work 
part time, you know, the usual.  I'started reading the Psychic 
Serpent trilogies and then Pou, and Draco series, and now I'm just as 
hooked as everyone else.  What a great group of people though, I have 
to say!
It's been a rough six months or so dealing with sick parents and in-
laws and this has been my escape! Now, on to my purpose here.

Last night I caught the tail end of a movie (as my husband was 
channel surfing) called "Dogma", starring the one and only Alan 
Rickman. I think he played some sort of deity that came down to earth 
to help some woman who is pregnant with the last of the "Zions".  
Alanis Morissette plays God, but she doesn't seem to speak; Chris 
Rock is in it, and also plays some sort of "angel" or "heavenly 
creature". The credits also stated that Selma Hyack (spelling?), 
George Carlin and the wonderful boys of Boston, Matt Damon and Ben 
Affleck  were in it as well.  Don't ask me the plot; it's all very 
wierd.  All I remember is when God!Alanis opened her mouth to "sing", 
she blew someone's head off (I mean literally, like blood and guts 
kind of explosion messy stuff!!)  

But I recognized the talented Mr. Rickman right off the bat because 
he rather looked like Snape trying to look like a rock star:  jet 
black spiked hair, black clothing (?leather?), etc., etc. I'm not 
much of a Snape fan myself, but I thought all of you Alan Rickman fans
(which I am slowly becoming) would enjoy seeing him in  different 
role.  Has anyone seen this movie?? I'm just curious!

Happy viewing!
