I'm sorry, the correct answer is: Stigmata.
The only question to which the correct answer is Stigmata is "What was the worst movie of 1999?"

Buffista Movies 3: Panned and Scanned
A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Matt and I are matter and anti-matter when it comes to movies. If we ever agree on one we both like, the world may explode.
I don't think Stigmata was a *great* movie, but it intrigued me. I thought it was good. Freaky and weird, but good.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I disliked The Phantom Menace more, just off the top of my head. At least Stigmata didn't ruin the pretty.

Definitely gets better on re-view.
Unless you hate Julianne Moore, in which case, it just gets worse, and you still can't understand the love for it.

Betsy, if that was the Washington Post, it's the writer's sense of humor. I don't know this for sure, but my sense is that she gets annoyed when she can't use a word that was used on TV -- and is, in fact, annoyed by censorship in general -- and comes up with a synonym that will let the audience know EXACTLY what was taken out, in a "family newspaper" sort of way. Hence "male pride."
her name is Lisa De Moraes, and she rocks.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I don't like JM and I still love Hudsucker. I also fell for it on a second viewing after being "eh" the first time.

'Tis a bit ironic, at that.

I saw that too, Betsy! WTF?
(And what if it's a source of male shame?)
