Holy cow; just this morning I asked Adam, "What's that movie with John Travolta where he's an angel?"

"Phenomenon?"

"No."

"Dogma?"

"Oh, yeah, maybe that's it, but it was Ben Affleck, not John Travolta."

I had completely forgotten about Michael. But what I'm really trying to remember is which one showed bloody wing stumps? Or was that in both of them?

I'm pleased to say I remember almost nothing about Michael, except that John Travolta happened in it, and, my memory is hazily suggesting--Edie McDowell? Also that it was wrapped in a blanket of smarm, or so it seemed to me at the time.

Lucifer, on Netflix, has bloody wing stumps, if I recall. But perhaps the notion of bloody wing stumps on a fallen angel is just too tempting for any proper scriptwriter to ignore. It's probably the first thing they talk about at the fallen angel support group. "Evening, everybody. How are your stumps?"
