Something that will make you all laugh

[Chris K.]

Taking a step down from reviewing movies as I have RAT PHINK A BOO BOO on the upcoming list as it is now out on DVD, I have a fun little article that I think you will all get a kick out of. Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez have compleated their upcoming film GIGLI and it was screened to a startling audience. Though meet with some poor press and disappointing results, this article from 'The Onion' will bring a smile to your face. One wonders if it is true or not, yet you just have to laugh. I'm not going to tell you what the article is about on GIGLI, you just have to read it. And prepare to laugh a bit: it's got some dark humor that made me laugh.

I could not stop laughing!

hahaha!!

They definitely should have drank molten lead at the end!
I had to e-mail that page to several of my friends!

Another thing....I refuse to pronounce the title correctly.
Like most other people I pronounce it "Giggly".

You know how some people give their pets odd names.

Gigli sounds like a name for a pet dog.

"Columbia executives remained skeptical about the validity of the focus-group results."

Yet another company NOT giving the people what they want!!!

"I find it hard to believe that audiences would harbor hostility toward such major media figures as J. Lo and Ben," Zitterman said. "With her magazine covers, clothing and perfume lines, and constant radio presence; his roles in Daredevil and Project Greenlight; and their recent joint appearances on Dateline NBC and numerous entertainment shows, how could anyone wish for anything but a resolution that unites these two attractive, highly visible celebrities?"

It's for those very reasons I WANT them to die!

That is just too funny.  That movie must be really bad.

I would have written down: "I would like to see Ben and Jennifer get killed in the end by a lawnmower via 'Dead Alive'". And personally, who wouldn't want to see that kind of an ending after all?

"The danger here is succumbing to what people in the business call 'option paralysis'â€"being caught with so many good ideas that you're not sure which one to use," Brest said. "Getting shot is fine, but what about an automobile fire in which Ben and Jennifer are shown perishing in a slow-motion montage, their newfound love discarded as they try desperately to claw their way past each other's melting bodies, while slowly roasting to death in their own fat? You'd be surprised at how many people came up with that one. Or having them crawl through a field of broken glass while a safely booted and gloved Christopher Walken casually advances on them with a spray bottle of acid and a pair of bolt-cutters? I must say, a part of me loves the idea of them chewing each other to death during a 14-minute dolly shot."
