I said it in another thread but I guess I can repeat it here.
Before all the bad publicity, I was wholly disinterested in this movie but now that everyone and their brother is dogging it, I want to see it. Too bad I live a good 800 miles or so away or I’d go with you, tramp.
Could we agree where we’ll meet at the Potomac Yards cinema for the 9:55 show on Saturday? I can’t absolutely promise that I’ll be there, but I now feel sorry enough for Ben and Jen that I’ll see it just because I feel so bad for them for being cast in this turkey. Heck, perhaps I’ll send them a wedding present and enclose a note that says, “Congratulations on your marriage. Fire whoever told you to appear in Gigli.”
Battlefield Earth I managed to watch, in entirety, pretty much :eek: the whole time.
Glitter I got literally 3 minutes into. Same with Blue Crush.
I actually kinda like Freddy Got Fingered, but I’m such a die-hard Larry Sanders fan it was inevitable I wouldn’t hate it.
Gigli has Al Pacino and Christopher Walken…how bad can it really be?
Anyone who wants to share in my suffering is welcome to come along. I think we can all meet in the theater because I think no one else will be there 
Why not simply meet in the cinema itself? You’re sure to recognize each others as being the only ones watching that particular movie…

Whoa, whoa, whoa, hold on here, CF. You’re the resident bullet-taker and you haven’t seen Battlefield Earth?
Oh, my God… you don’t know, do you? You think it’s just a really bad movie. I assure you; nothing you have seen before can prepare you for it. Please be careful. Make sure you have a spotter and a physician on hand.
I have no desire to see “Gigli,” and I never did.
Still, my hunch is, it’s an ordinary, typical bad movie, not a train wreck. The one person I know who saw it said, “It stinks, but it doesn’t suck.”
My theory (which I don’t plan to test by SEEING “Gigli,” mind you!)is that critics (like the rest of us!) were just sick to death or reading and hearing about J. Lo & Ben 24/7, and decided to treat an ordinary, average bad movie as if it were an Ed Wood movie.
I like Pacino and Walken, but they both have a habit of playing typecast, maniacal characters in really bad movies. Sometimes I wonder if they’re intentionally hamming it up because they realize how dreadful the film truly is, and ironically, the movie actually becomes good to watch if only for their over-acted characters.
From the sound of it, however, Gigli may prove to be beyond even their powers of “bad movie redemption.”
No, thank you. I don’t care if there are only a dozen people in the theater. I’m not interested in asking each person there, “Hi, are you one of the Straight Dope people?” and getting tossed out of the theater for harassment. I’m easy to recognize. I’m 4’11", red-haired, and wear glasses. As I said, I can’t be absolutely sure I can make it.
Just run through the theater yelling
“Tramp? TRAMP? TRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMP?”
Tramp, have you got a couple of robots you can take along? They can sit on either side of you during the movie.
I have to admit, I like the poster for Jiggly (well, the left side of it anyway).
Why couldn’t you make it for tonight? I would go if it was tonight. I will be in Ohio at an Iron Maiden concert. I will not be thinking of the sacrifice you brave souls will be making for us.
You are brave souls. I must commend you for your efforts, not only in seeing Gigli, but braving Potomac Yards on a Saturday night. Ugh. I hope you find a decent parking spot, but that adventure may be more fun than the movie.
I’d join you, seeing as I’m a whole 5 minute walk from the Yard, but I’m going to Live on Penn. And maybe Air afterward. Plus I’m filling up my once-a-week quota of Potomac Yards visits tonight.
Good Luck.
Eh, I’ll park near the Old Navy and hike on up to the theater.
Yes. Exactly. Thank you.
Well, guys, c’mon, give us the skinny – was as bad as they say?
It’s 9:55 tonight that we’re going to see it.
Yes, like the Smashing Pumpkins would say “Tonight,Tonight.”
