I finally got to see Gigli. It does not disappoint. It is as stupid and pointless as everyone says. Affleck may finally have succeeded in making a movie worse than Armageddon. Well, either that or it's been so long since I last watched Armageddon that the pain is beginning to heal.

Moments to watch for in Gigli:

* The main characters spend approximately five years waxing poetic about their respective genetalia. Well, you don't have to watch for this moment, I guess. It's kinda hard to miss.

* The one single solitary moment when you are actually impressed with Jennifer Lopez's character (as she sadistically describes the horrific effects of a martial arts move that doesn't actually exist, and Lopez herself does a damn fine job with the delivery) is completely ruined as, rather than walking away, she lingers to to act like a total dork.

* Christopher Walken and Al Pacino appear in cameos; the best part of Walken's role is that it has NO FURTHER BEARING ON THE PLOT. You'll have to see the movie to understand why this merits all caps.

Dear Christopher Walken,

. . . what?! WHY?! Please tell me blackmail was involved.



Dear Al Pacino,

I liked you better when you were overacting in The Devil's Advocate.



Sigh. Shall post a bit more tomorrow, I hope.

Hah. Gigli. I had forgotten about that movie. Which is pretty sad since it was only in theaters, like, a couple months ago.

All kinds of crazy things going on here. First off, I don't know if you read this on the TWoP forum or elsewhere, but Hans the Bold finally got a novel published. It's not available yet, but I'll keep you posted on the details. As for me, I am officially buying my very first home. The seller accepted my first offer, so it's already on its way to becoming a done deal. Yikes. Everything's going very fast, which is good in a way since I adore the house and want to move in right away, but at the same time the pace of all these high-dollar proceedings is a bit frightening. In actuality I probably won't be able to move in until the end of January, but still, yay me! And also, more importantly ;), after 3 long, dreadful seasons of sub-sub-mediocrity, my fantasy football team FINALLY made the playoffs this season. Hey, their record may just be 7-7, but they're the 2nd highest scoring team in the league, so I like their odds. Especially considering that the highest-scoring team didn't even make the playoffs. Again, yay me!

Now I just hope you're not having a sucky day so that all this glee won't make you want to vomit.

Kisses,

Nope. Actually, I'm kind of in a state of bliss at the moment, which I shortly will try and fail to explain adequately in an entry.

Hooray, so much goodness! Mucho congrats on the house purchase, and on the fantasy football. =D And yes, do keep me posted on Hans's book, of course I'll want to know where and when I can get a copy.
