Ah, Freddie. He loves my area too. He is known for attracting more than his share of the "god told me to kill the abomination" types. With the addition of his name, you should not just blow this off. Don't go nuts, but don't be stupid, either.

Go places at night with other people, don't open unknown packages, and stay away from lit windows. Probably no danger, but these steps are so easy it would be foolish not to take them.

Another review, excerpted for your amusement, from the Minneapolis Star-Tribune (I particularly like the line about public mockery for years to come, you go J-Ho):

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

"If you thought you could never, ever feel sorry for Jennifer Lopez, buy a ticket to "Gigli."

Imagine starring in a film so excruciating that it won't sink quietly, but rather be relentlessly scrutinized and critiqued and debated and autopsied. Imagine delivering a performance so out of tune with reality that it will inspire public mockery for years to come.

Now imagine that this doomed project requires you to speak these lines of dialogue, in a love scene, no less: "It's turkey time. Gobble, gobble."

In "Gigli," Lopez, her leading man, Ben Affleck, and all concerned have sailed into a perfect storm of cinematic awfulness, a lightweight romantic comedy with a bloody suicide attempt, a brain-spattered fish tank and a thumb sawed off with a plastic spoon. It's a Rob Reiner movie for psychopaths.

...

Ick, ick and ick, people. Soft-brained and inhumanly dull, "Gigli" has no pace, no drive, none of the dark animal vitality that might have made this tasteless material a guilty pleasure.

...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Gigli

1/2 out of four stars

The setup: A blood-spattered comic romance between a thick-skulled mob enforcer (Ben Affleck) and a self-adoring lesbian assassin (Jennifer Lopez.)

What works: The theater exit.

What doesn't: Don't get me started.

Great line: Yeah, right.

Rating: R for sexual content, pervasive language and brief strong violence.

Britney Spears is being considered for the role of Daisy Duke in a "Dukes of Hazzard" movie project. Ashton Kucher has expressed interest in the role of Bo. We can, of course, expect the usual de rigeur cameos by the surviving cast members (an elite club that, sadly, no longer includes Denver Pyle and Sorrell Booke).

All of which begs the question: are there any remaining television franchises that people want to see filmed as feature-length movies, or are we condemned to a bleak future that necessarily will include "Small Wonder II: Electric Boogaloo"?

I could go for one WKRP movie, original cast, original music licenses, and NOT one of those stupid "reunion" shows, but an actual movie episode.

I don't know about want to see, but I've heard that big-screen Dallas is also in the works. Hopefully they'll leave out the Bobby-dreamt-an-entire-season plot twist. Sorry for failing to leave spoiler space for any of you who missed that episode, but have it on Tivo at home.

Oh boy.

I was calming down too.

*sigh* Can I just sit on my ass like a normal person? Noooooooo, I have to make a difference in the fucking world.

That will be great on my tombstone. Here lies Leagleaze, she died opening a package she thought came from amazon.com, but hey, she made a difference! Awesome!

On the other hand, tonight, I am going to go watch strippers at a lesbian bar. So it's all good.

I have to go get some dollar bills. And maybe a couple fives. Does a lapdance cost a lot?

Does this mean Ashton will then try a country music career a la the original Bo, John Schneider?

Can we make this happen? I want to see the look on Demi's face when he breaks the news that he's going to Nashville.

By the way, we can do an FB breasticle day again, if you want. I can do a passworded board that only specific people can see, and we have the bandwith for it.

This sounds like a wonderful idea...

TITS!

Don't forget, it's tax free weekend in Texas.*

*Meaning don't forget to either rush to the store to save pennies on the dollar or stay the hell away from everyone else who has already left for the mall.

She'd probably think it was his clumsy way of volunteering to perform oral sex.

Gobble gobble!

don't know if the original actors are alive, but a Lance Link Secret Chimp movie would be great

I could go for another movie based upon the wildly popular American Idol.

"The auction will raise money for community services on Martha's Vineyard."

She has such a big heart.
