You know, last weekend I sat through **Blood Freak**. This weekend I will watch **Night of the Bloody Apes**. If I can survive those, surely **Gigli** can’t be that bad. Hey if **Tramp** can do it, then ding dangit, I will provide moral support and see it as well!! ---

tramp, you are far braver than I. I too have been thinking, “Well, just how bad COULD it be?” But I’m not going to risk my health or sanity. You should get a purple heart for throwing yourself on this bomb for the rest of us. ---

Personally, I simply cannot believe that it is worse than many many other movies I can name. Worst movie of the year? Sure. Worst since 2000? Possibly, maybe. Ever? No way in hell. ---

So, **Leaper** , what you are saying is that it could technically be promoted as the worst movie of the 21st century ? ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by detop \* > **tramp** I’m recommending you for the Cecil Cross. This is definitely above and beyond the call of duty. I dunno, I think Cecil would say this qualifies for the “Slug Sigorino Mark of Insanity.” After all, as the smartest man on Earth, Cecil would have the good sense to avoid a turkey like this. Gobble gobble, indeed. ---

Lets see… in the NY/NJ area, Ben Affleck plays a fellow with an odd occupation who falls in love with a lesbian with the same occupation? Sounds like some sort of crap Kevin Smith would come up with. ---

Only Kevin Smith would make it entertaining by having Jay and Silent Bob make a cameo and maybe throwing in a gay black man with the same occupation as Affleck and the lesbian he loves. “What’s a Nubian?” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/im-going-to-take-the-gigli-bullet/193654.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/im-going-to-take-the-gigli-bullet/193654.md?page=3)
