Did you actually spend money on watching this thing?

[Monti Cello]

They would have done better to bail on Gigli to make the movie Jiggly

[PBRSTREETGANG]

Boy, do I miss MST3K!

[eggman]

Whenever this much vehemence is aimed at a mere movie, something deeper is going on. Three things, in fact.

• the name sucks
• the story line sucks
• the actors suck

Did you actually spend money on watching this thing?

Not exactly. It was on basic cable.

all due respect, but, while JLo does nothing for me intellectually, it is pretty hard to contradict that body (the face is another matter, though)

MST 3000 IS still around, on SciFi channel, Saturday mornings.

Did somebody say MST3K?

[Salgak]

No. . .if it was going to be a profitable movie, it would have had to gross $20m million or more on opening weekend. . .

<< Why do "people" find this talentless chubby woman so attractive? >>

You and I don't -- and we're "people."

A talented airbrush artist strikes again. Those Gigli posters were touched up to make her butt smaller and her chest bigger. They have admitted this. Lopez is very good at marketing and getting herself photographed from the right angles, but she is actually quite pear-shaped. Her butt is HUGH. Sorry to spoil your fantasy.

#27 -- an idea you had on another thread, I think.

9oops, that should have been directed to you the first time)

Scroll down to find my contradiction with "that body."

Bump!!!

[Paleo Conservative]

Siskel?

Remember you're talking about Chicago. Why not Siskel?

[lafroste]

Nice beer gut. Why do people find this talentless chubby woman so attractive?

Say what you will, but she still beats the h%ll out of Rosie. Why that (I can't even think of an appropriate slur) thing ever became popular is one of the great bafflements of the last 100 years IMHO.

I always kinda hoped to see Joel and the Bots at the bottom of the screen during the Democratic National Convention.

Of course, my evil fantasy is taking the control of the sound system during prime time coverage of the Democratic Convention.

Imagine the "entry" songs for each candidate:

• FrankenKerry: theme from "The Munsters"
• Dean: Looney Toons theme
• Hitlary: a tossup: "Wicked Witch" theme from "The Wizard of Oz", "The Bitch is Back" by Elton John, or that "Bitch" song from a year or two back
• Rev. Al: Three Blind Mice/Three Stooges theme

I'm sure you can add your own choices to the Democratic Convention "Top Ten" list. . .

Schadenfreude is the $2 German word for delight in the suffering of others.

Nobody likes to admit they delight in the suffering of others . . . but, honestly, how did you feel the night Al Gore finally conceded the '00 election?
