Do bookmakers take bets on a movie being an absolute, Heavens Gate, style disaster? Bc I would like to bet the farm on Gigli. I know nothing about this movie except that JHo and Ben assfleck are in it, and that Ben appears to play an Italian gangster in the movie(!) from a commercial I saw. I think this is also the movie that gave us the world's most vainglorious, overexposed couple ever. If ever there was schadenfreude amongst the schlock movie ticket buying mainstream, this movie would have to incite it. Tabloids, magazine covers, Pat OBrien, even the fucking NYT. Its enough already. You just arent that interesting. But man are you overpaid.
Jen and Ben are going on Barabara Walters to discuss their relationship? Who gives a flying fuck? And what dont we already know about it that even the most studious kayaker amongst us could not avoid learning? I bet even Bilmore knows what the ring is.
This movie should sink like a stone. And I bet that does wonders for the relationship.

Not a fair bet. Everyone in this town already knows that Gigli is unwatchable. It's been finished for months, but hasn't been released until now, because (rumor has it) it's so incredibly horrible. The expectations are so phenomenally low that the distributor will probably be saying "compared to what our tracking showed, it did phenomenally well, and we're thrilled." I'd expect about $7 million for the first weekend, dropping off very significantly after that. It won't affect the relationship at all. Ben and J-Lo know it's a dog with fleas.
