This is a community for posting and sharing trailers and teasers for upcoming film, television and video game premieres. The goal is to provide subscribers a curated feed of trailers for UPCOMING media. General-purpose posts about movies, television and games are better suited for other communities around the Lemmyverse. This place is just for trailers.
Rules
- All posts must be trailers or teasers; not full movies, not trailers for trailers, and not clips of popular scenes. Meta posts from mod staff are OK, but should be kept to a minimum.
- No fan-made trailers or remixes.
- Trailers for upcoming content only. Do not spam the community with trailers for media that has already been released.
- Link to official channels for trailers whenever possible (ie: the YouTube accounts of each film's studio or distribution company); avoid linking to videos from media outlets that function as aggregators / re-posters if you can.
- Post titles should follow formatting guidelines: "Media Name (release year, relevant creator credit)". Creator credits should be directors for films and games, showrunners for television series. Other details such as starring actors, writers, production studios, etc can be added to the post description.
- Don't be a jerk.

Grew up Catholic and love this movie to this day.
I love that they cast renowned atheist George Carlin as the cardinal.
Oh for sure, and Chris Rock as the 13th apostle was amazing.
The movie is simultaneously irreverent and filled with surprising reverence and sincerity. I always appreciated Kevin Smith for that.
Re watched fairly recently. Didn't hold up amazingly like Chasing Amy or Mallrats. It was both too campy and not campy enough to boomerang back to being good.
I've had that same sense of Kevin Smith movies not holding up. But still loved Dogma last I saw it which was... maybe a few years ago. Maybe I should again. But then maybe doing so will ruin it.
No it wont ruin it. It just falls in a valley between goofball comedy and philosophical drama/ commentary that hits oblique. Its like, I'm supposed to be understanding something deep about guilt, remorse, and redemption, and thats a poop golem.
It’s not so bad. Watch it for free somewhere—Weinstein holds the rights and won’t sell them back to Kevin Smith. Don’t even feel bad about it.
Edit: Disregard this! See below!
Actually Kevin Smith finally got them back. That's why he's doing a Dogma tour and has talked about potentially doing more stuff with that IP.
Hard disagree. Chasing Amy and Mallrats are still good, but Dogma is in another league.
Like, Chasing Amy, he commits to the drama and its damn fucking good.
Mallrats is goofball comedy, through and through. Love it.
Dogma tries to split the difference. I think its like, the underlying themes which kind of, take me out of the comedy of it all? Or maybe that it "feels" like its trying to say something deep about catholisism, redemption, identity, but the goofball comedy is kind of pausing the suspension of disbelief? And what the hell is it you are trying to say Kevin? What is the redeeming lesson the church is supposed to be offering me here? That they've got incoherent dogma?
