Don't take this as a putdown, but I cannot stomach reading or seeing reports about these boring idiots. Nothing they do interests me. I hardly ever seen movies with this set in them.

As for Julia Roberts, the woman gives me hives just to look at her. The idea of coming into contact with her repulses me. Her smile reminds me of a racoon with peanut butter stuck to the top of it's mouth, so that it's lips are pulled back to reveal all it's teeth. And that yapping sound she makes when she thinks something is funny is positively disgusting.

I have never understood the premise of Pretty Woman, or should I say why it appeals to women. Do they all see themselves as hookers laying in wait for that one rich John to come along? Frankly I think far more of my wife than to think of her as a hooker, but she loves this movie. She's certainly not alone. Most women I know love it. It's one of their favorites. Sorry ladies, it's lost on me.

But...but...but...she's America's Sweetheart!

Not to all women. I think it's hideous. Jason Alexander is the movie's only redeeming feature, and frankly, he's not in it long enough to make it watchable.

(Were I you, sir, I'd check your lady to see if she has predilections for Mr. Gere. That seems the logical explanation. If so, there are excellent disinfectants available.)

Your comments resonate with me. Julia Roberts is supposed to be a sex symbol, but to me she is a freak. Every once in a while my wife, in a fit of jealousy, will ask if I find one woman or another attractive. I know what to say, but in the case of Julia Roberts, my reply is honest.

I have a feeling especially evil sinners have to spend eternity in Hell being forced to watch Entertainment Tonight in surround-sound over and over and over...
