I know **Crunchy Frog** is the resident movie bullet taking person, but I cannot resist the festering stench of _Gigli_ eminating from my local theatre. So I’m going to see it Saturday. And yes, it probably would be more worthwhile to take my $8 and light it on fire, I’m going to hand my hard earned cash and hand it over willingly to J-Ho and Ben. I’ll let you you know how it goes. I mean it couldn’t be worse that _Battlefield Earth_, right? :eek: ---

How dare you? At least buy a ticket for something respectable and sneak in to _Gigli_. 😃 ---

I have a friend who got to see a free screening of it last night. Her report on the movie shocked and horrified me to the point that I couldn’t, for my own sanity, believe her. Good luck. ---

Well it only has one showing… 9:55 pm at the Potomac Yard cinemas… Even League of Extraordinary Gentlemen has more. Any MAD’s want to join me? (yeah right!) I can’t get anyone to go with me! One ticket for Gigli, please… ---

Be sure to wear a mask so they can’t identify you later in case they need to try to interview you. ---

I have to confess that, while I have a long history of decrying the abominable behavior of people who slow down and crane their necks in an effort to see the blood on the highway whenever they pass the scene of an accident, this movie is calling to me strangely. I’m about 5 minutes away from the Potomac Yards cinemas, and am willing to sacrifice my heretofore good opinion of myself to keep you company, **tramp**. 9:55 on Saturday, eh? ---

(cue dramatic music) You sick, sad bastards. Y-y-you’re just going to SIT there at your monitors and…? tramp! No! Think of your unborn child! NaahAAAAAoooOOOOOoooooOOoooooOoooo! ---

Sure, I ll know by tomorrow whether or not I will be in Philly this weekend (and thus seeing it at Plymouth Meeting) but I’d enjoy the company. No one I know will go see it! ---

So am I off the hook as far as renting this one when it hits the video shelves next month? BTW, the weekend is coming up. Plans are to watch _Ricky-Oh, the Story of Ricky_, _I Spit on Your Grave_, _Freddy Got Fingered_, and _Battlefield Earth_. I may not get around to watching all four of them, but there should be at least two new bullet reviews this weekend. If I’m feeling especially generous, I may also pick up _Glitter_. ---

Does anybody think that this movie might be made better with MST3K comments thrown in? I mean, the theater’s going to be empty except for you anyway, right? ---

I may just see it myself if I find it in town. ---

The nice thing about going to see Gigli is that you will be all alone in the theater. You can run naked up and down the aisle, smoke stuff, crack open a beer, yell obscenities…hmm, that actually sounds kinda fun. (Also sounds oddly like the final night’s event at most DopeFests.) Gee, if I were in your neighborhood, I might just join you. Try to rip off a poster - you know they are going to be valuable in a few years. ---
