That's what - like 20 tickets per show?

This is clearly much more than a bad film. This is major public backlash against two hacks of dubious talent that have been slammed down our collective throats by the publicity machine.

And nothing is more fun to watch than a sinking ship.

The interesting part is that he's got a nifty chart that shows the daily receipts and the percentage change from day to day. While not high in the first place, the receipts are dropping like a stone.

Impressive indeed.

given the size of theaters in the malls of suburbansprawl america, twenty tix per show is surprisingly high. especially in the middle of the week. people want to see a trainwreck?

I think if these two had been a little less complacent, show offy and I am still Jenny from the block despite my pink soliataire, the schadenfreude would be just at Madonna or Courtney Love levels. But these two assholes have to remind us all the time how in love they are and how much they make and about their fifteen million dollar house off of Savannah and the diamond. Talk about money for nothing.

With this sinking ship, I'd rather read reports about it than have to sit through it.

There were ads? Have they pulled previews too?

I still believe that this one could make some bucks in video release. There are probably a lot of people who will rent it just to see how much it sucks. It may also become a hit with the college crowd who will get all fucked up and give it the Mystery Science Theater treatment.

Much like Mr DTB, I am so annoyed by these two that I wont give em a dime of my hard earned bling. I think J-ho is gonna start thinking being in jail with Puff DAddy looked like a stay at Paradise Hotel after what happens to her career from here.

Ten years from now, sophs will be getting together in the dorms for Evil Dead/Gigli parties.

I suggest something similar, which is to get her a good vibrator and play with it together, encourage her to take some solo flights and report back, and so on.

Evenodds' suggestion and this one are both good, but it almost seems like too much work. I mean, it doesn't seem to bother her that she doesn't have orgasms. Which is actually the part that bothers me. And now, I'm thinking, why I am going to run around doing all this stuff when she doesn't even care. And how would I buy a vibrator? That's the kind of thing women, even non-orgasmic ones, are supposed to buy for themselves.

I am still around. I am trying to find a way to respond to all of the misinformation about Gigli on this site and still act my way out of a paper bag.

Go figure out how many audience members have left other movies over the last five years and see what results you get. People leave films for all kinds of reasons. Some leave for a lifestyle change. Some leave to do plaintiff's work. Some leave because they are asked to do so and theatres do a good job of being very graceful about that fact so as to allow them to find other enjoyment. It is silly to conclude that every moviegoer who left Gigli did so as a result of a "gobble gobble". The truth is that they are in the minority by a very signficant margin and that we did everything we could do to avoid them for as long as we could do so.

Do you think the other films will be able to withstand the recession and continue to employ unproductive costars, and if so, to what end and for how long? Consider the fact that Gigli did not reduce star salaries. As has been well reported in the entertainment press, we took a hit to profits instead. Many films in our position did not do the same thing.

Finally, I have no desire to fight you nor do I have any reason to wish you any harm. I am glad you and others are asking some good questions and I appreciate the opportunity to respond to some of them. But, personal attacks are unwarranted and I do not condone some of your abusive language. Recall that I came to this board to respond to some incorrect information posted about me on it.

For those who really want to know more about Gigli, I am happy to be a resource. To those who have some sort of grudge against me or our film, I am sorry, but nothing I can write here is going to change that. It does sadden me that are a few people who would like to see more folks at Gigli lose their jewelry because they appear to be rejoicing at any bad news about our film. That is unfortunate because our film has worked hard to do some good things in this community.

Give us a few months, Gigli will not only manage to keep the lights on here, but we will light up the night sky.

Love,

Ben(XLDOG)Lo

Ok, I refuse to write a job description for this.

That's just silly. But keep up the good work.

What is a TM violation? Anyway, I should have defined clenching better. Not internal clenching, external clenching. As in, legs clenching and pushing together in tradition Tab A - Slot B action, hands forcing head in further and knees crushing my chest in Tab D - Slot B action and her hand pushing my hand and thighs crushing my hand in good ol' Tabs E through I - Slot B action.

The other kind of clenching is heavenly; hers makes me feel like I'm dying against a steel fench at a Real Madrid match.

In case it wasn't clear from the nevermind, this is the last nail in the coffin of my recent ill-advised crush.
