You mean this focus group?http://www.theonion.com/onion3929/gigli_focus_groups.html

[Veggie Todd]

After this bomb, will she start getting nekkid in her movies?

[Beowulf]

The publicity of Ben and J Lo's romance couldn't save this turkey. Nice try anyway guys.

"The verdict is rendered. Please remove her poster from your wall. "

I do agree that she's not a great actress. She should stick to music. I do like her music though. I also really don't like "p.diddy" either. And the only poster I have on my wall is Tori Amos. That one won't be removed without shooting me first. I don't even care what her political views are. Since she lives in europe for the most part these days, it doesn't matter.

Pardon me for not giving a sh*t about any of these movies.

You're pardoned.

It's been an encouraging week all around...Box Office Mojo also has the numbers for "Buffalo Soldiers",the notorious military-bashing slanderous movie released last week.

They spent $15 million to make a movie in which American Soldiers were depicted as drug-addled burnouts, slackers, and illegal arms traders. To date they have made fifty grand.

Since it was one of Hollywood's "politically correct" flicks, don't expect to read any scathing reports of this turkey in the press. In fact, all the reviews I've read beg people to go see this "important" film, which "we all know is correct..."

[lorrainer]

It was the Steyn review. *grin*

"Why, Gigi! You're not a little girl anymore. You look so grown-up in that bustle." "I'm not wearing a bustle,"

And the only poster I have on my wall is Tori Amos. That one won't be removed without shooting me first. I don't even care what her political views are.

Tori is the only person in the world that will totally forgive for their political views, to any extent that she is even political (RAINN I understand in her case.) Tori has more talent in a sliver of her fingernails than J-Lo and the rest of the over-rated 'divas' have in their entire careers.

So, what about her playing a lesbian hit-person? Do we get to see Jo Lo make out with a hot chick?

[Chancellor Palpatine]

No, dammit. I'd go see it if that happened.

[William McKinley]

Unless you were planning on watching the movie for its (unintentional) humor value (which knowing the sort-of ending won't effect) then he just saved you some money.

[lowbridge]

I give the Affleck/Lopez union another 36 days. When did they say the wedding was planned, October? IT WIL NEVER HAPPEN. We should start taking a pool as to when the breakup will be.

"Jennifer Lopez announced that she is engaged to Ben Affleck. It will be the third marriage for Lopez, the first for Affleck, and the last for neither." - Weekend Update's TINA FEY, reporting the engagement of Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez, on ''SNL''

[Hildy]

Cut her some slack. She was pretty good in Selena and she DOES have talent. As far as P.Diddy, I saw his biography and I regained some respect for him. The way he broke into the music business was incredible, good, old-fashioned American ingenuity and chutzpah.

[honeygrl]

Yay! Another Tori Fan. :) Ever been to one of her concerts? I've been to two and they were amazing.

[Miami_U_Redskin]

Sean Combs and Suge Knight should be dead not Tupac And Christopher Wallace.

As for this movie and any other movie with the headlining actors, I think I'll skip, that is unless they learn how to act.

[honeygrl]

It would be nice if musicians stuck to music and actors/actresses stuck to acting. They usually suck when they cross over.

[JoeSchem]

Thanks for telling me how the movie ends.

Hey, it's only Gigli. It's not as if you were told Bruce Willis is dead in the Sixth Sense.

Uh . . . you did know that, right?

[houstonian]

Pardon me for not giving a sh*t about any of these movies

How could you so callously overlook the artistry and magnificent expense Hollywood exercises that they may so exquisitely gild their second-hand dung?

[honeygrl]

lol yeah, i love that movie.
