Oh god, “I’m the bull, you’re the cow…”
I may have to get completely fucked up and actually go and see this. 
/waiting for the gay/lesbian lobby to start protesting (not without justification)…
OK, I watched the trailer. And yes, it does NOT look like a good movie. But it doesn’t look actively bad, you know? Some movies seem to work at being bad, like the above-mentioned “Freddy Got Fingered”. “Gigli” looks simply passively bad, not actively bad.
With all this, I imagine their Casablanca remake will be a hit…
“Once word gets out about how painful and laughably bad this film is, it will tank faster than you can say ‘Bennifer.’”
::snicker::
When SFGate busts out its nobody in the chair review, you know it’s bad.
Don’t be too sure there, Dooku. That review was written by Mick “Stupidest Man in Movie Reviewing History” LeSalle. If he gave Gigli that bad a rating, it can only mean one of two things: it’s one of the worst movies ever made, so bad that even LeSalle can tell it sucks. Or, it’s actually pretty good. The weight of critical opinion seems to favor the former theory, though.
“Gigli is so bad, it doesn’t need MAD to parody it. It does that job just fine by itself.”
Me.
Slight hijack here, but I found the NY Times review of Freddy Got Fingered so provocative that on several occasions I’ve come this close to watching it:
I’m almost tempted to go see Gigli, just out of instinctive sympathy for the underdog. I’ll see how it does this weekend; if even the teenyboppers are avoiding it, I’ll go take the bullet for all of us.
Yo!
“Makes Ishtar look like Citizen Kane” … heh 
It sounds like the only thing that could have made this film worse is Kevin Smith. Wait… actually his knuckle-dragging, adolescent “man-converts-lesbian” fantasy is the plot of this monstosity…
I like to pretend that I am above feelings of schadenrfreude, but I am loving this. Making an awful movie with a terrible line including the word “turkey” is too perfect.
Can someone please explain the “turkey” line to me? The local talk show guy was ranting about it today, and I just don’t get it.
It bothers me a little when people say this about Chasing Amy… Kevin Smith wrote it based on something that actually happened. There is no deeper message really, it’s just a story.
This is Affleck’s punishment for trying to be Daredevil.
God! Like the commercials featuring his giant head and Chin Butt O’ Doom aren’t bad enough!
From this story:
…In one scene J-Lo tries to seduce Affleck by lying back on the bed and telling him (with rare irony): “It’s turkey time.”
When he (along with the whole of the audience) asks “What?”, she replies: “Come on, gobble, gobble!”
“It was possibly the worst line ever said in a movie,” one reviewer suggested.
In my last post, I double-checked my spelling of “shadenfreude” and still got it wrong. I suck:smack:
On the other hand, in thirteen days, Shaolin Soccer comes to NYC!
Next time Crunchy Frog offers to take a movie-watching bullet for us, I expect we’ll know what to ask for, eh?
Let me throw in a link there so I seem somewhat coherent.
Someone please tell me that rumor about Casablanca was just a joke–they can’t be serious! Isn’t there some law about defacing national treasures? This just can’t happen!
