All I can say is WOW!!! That movie was a trip,I really liked it,if anyone has seen it,I,d sure like to discuss the ending,my s/o saw disagree on the ending. Thats the kind of movie I,d like to see on mushrooms!

I saw that movie today. I thought it was great, but I'm biased cuz I love Gabrial Byrne. I understood almost the whole thing. The only thing I didn't get was near the end, when Byrne asked the dead priest spirit to take him instead of whatsername, and the dead priest spirit said no, you have to believe, you have to have faith, and Byrnie had doubts. But whatsername was an athiest, so...how did that happen? Maybe it had something to do with that whole "the curch is inside you etc, etc, all around you" thing. You think she could have believed way down deep inside and not even know it?

I don,t know, thats what I couldn,t figure out,I thought the Spirit went into Byrnie,but what my s/o and I disagreed about is I thought that in the end,she was dead and walking off to heaven,he says she was alive.

I say she was alive. I also predict that Father Gabe will give up the priesthood and join with her. He'll give the scroll thingys to his translating priest friend and the translation will continue where the dead priest left off. That's what I would like to see happen.

That would be perfect,I looked up Saint Thomas,no wonder the church didn,t want that in the bible,they would lose all that money.

That movie was a rank piece of crap aimed at idiots who watch too much MTV. I have major things for both Patricia Arquette and Gabriel Byrne, so it was redeemed. My last sentence contained the same level of christian mysticism, btw, that that sucky assed piece of shit did. What the fuck is wrong with fucking Hollywood that they can lure me in with a delightful premise (which Stigmata had) and then use their indubitably magnificent cinematography to fuck the shit out of it? I was so incredibly pissed after the tedious jumpfuzzradicut when the second set of stigmata appeared that I could not contain my anger and it has now spilled all over you two. Sorry. I mean, I dig the whole church wherever concept and shit, but it's shitty and lame to tack on text like that at the end of the movie. The possession by demon/dead priest issue was not especially well addressed, either. The seeming conspiracy being located in the physical body of a single priest also weakened the Church as Naughty thematic, also. Fuck all this. Go read "The Name of the Rose." Then see the fucking movie. Then see stigmata again. Then realize that you have been previously aesthetically bankrupt. What the fuck is wrong with writing out a screenplay, and then filming a good movie, anyway?

yeah but they got yer $6 and possibly some popcorn sales. Most hllywd execs could give a rats ass about asthetics...all they want is a return, hence the resurgance of horrible to mildy decent movies and tv shows. I use this as a general rule.....the more it's advertised, the less i want to see it. Despite Blair Witch, but that was a flash in the pan, anomoly. (i.e Godzilla, Armageddon, Deep Impact) I recommend their porn counterparts, the inevitable made for amore interesting film.

$6? it's $9.50 out here. i wait for everything to come out on video. besides, (with the exception of the blairbitch horror) whenever i plan on going to see movies with anyone, we always end up knocking back drinks and shooting the shit in some dive bar instead. thanks for reminding me about Umberto Eco. i need to reread that book.

You know he was accused of plagiarizing that book, right?

I've read Name of the Rose. I've seen the movie. They both sucked. I liked Stigmata. You're right about the One Bad Priest being a sucky cop-out, Margret, but everything else about it, I really enjoyed.

What the fuck is the matter with you all?Don,t you know if you go at certain times it only cost $3.50?When we saw Stigmata,it was around 5p.m.,the best time to go,everyone is driving home from work or eating dinner,there were only 3 other couples there,and it was half price.

in LA prime time seats are $7.50/$8.0. Matinees are anywhere from $2.75/second run to $4.50 first run. and I always pack my flask w/jack to the theaters,

dunwich horror blairwitch project dunwich horror blairwitch project i always end up mangling those two together. i was talking to an ex co-worker who told me that the blairbitch etch-a-sketch was actually based on an old jersey tale about a baby-eating devil that stalks the marshlands. i think i'll round up some of the sunset park boys and head into the jersey wilderness to see if we can find any demon trails. or baby remains. or low-budget/high-payoff marketing strategies...

Are you guys going to be talking about that blair witch movie much here? Cuz I haven't seen it yet (DANGIT!) and I'm trying to maintain an aura of mystery.
