Rock & Roll RebelMark Joseph, author of The Rock and Roll Rebellion, runs a great website and email newsletter. His book is about the challenge of being an artist and being a Christian and NOT being a Christian Artist. In other words, the difference of being an artist and being part of an industry. The website and newsletter focus on articles on the web that touch on this issue. He deals with music, books, and movies. It's great stuff. That said, I wish Mark would redo them both in weblog format. I loved his book and his columns, so I'd like more from him than just pointers to articles. I want his thoughts on these articles and issues. Come on Mark, jump in the water is warm. Rethinking DogmaI was pointed to a very interesting interview with Dogma director Kevin Smith. This guy knows his scripture and seems to have a really sincere and pretty orthodox faith. It is hard to match this up with what I know of his films. But, as usual, I don't know much first hand. Chasing Amy, Clerks, Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back, Mallrats, and Dogma aren't movies I'd usually go to. I did see Dogma, didn't think much of it. It was interesting, but bothered me. Maybe I'm evaluating it on a very surface level? I think I'll need to see it again. So, the big question is, "Can I find it on DVD in Indonesia?" Thanks to Mark Joseph for the pointer to the interview.
