What outright stuns me about Gigli is how stereotypical about Italian Americans it is. The strong outspoken mother. The hard exterior soft interior mafia guy. I hate when characters become ethnic blurbs. I should really see it sometime.

This doesn't surprise me. I've only seen a clip of Gigli, but it was just so awful that I couldn't stomach it. And that's supposed to be the best part of the movie! I'm kind of glad that The Cat in the Hat didn't escape without at least one razzie though. I found out that the critics that raved about it were either threatened with dismissal or wined and dined into writing good reviews!

I read the agony booth review if Gigli, and it sounded like a terrible movie. I don't even want to subject myself to it! I guess it deserved the 6 RAZZIES, lol.

I told you all Gigli would win. But nobody believed me.
Haven't seen it, though. I like Ben Affleck, but can't stand Lopez.

I like Ben Affleck, but can't stand Lopez. Ben Affleck is the most boring actor currently working. End of discussion.

I don't like Ben at all. But strangely, I thought he did an excellent job in "Daredevil" and I was actually able to stomach him in that one. Weird, I know.

Ben Affleck is the most boring actor currently working. End of discussion. Hammy, yes. Boring, no. Whether it be a deliciously over the top performance like in Dogma, an emotional performance like in Daredevil or Chasing Amy, or just an egotistical guy trying to get on top like in Changing Lanes. Most underated actor working today, IMO.

What about Brad Pitt? Did he win a Razzie??
EDIT: I just found out that Christopher Walkin was nominated for a couple of Razzies. Even though he was in some bad movies, he is still pretty cool. All he has is a bad agent.

Most underated actor working today, IMO. Torgo,I gotta disagree-have you ever heard of Sam Rockwell? He is pretty good, IMO- Besides, Affleck a good actor?- Come on-you guys are funning me, right? Next you'll tell me what an "emotive" actor Jason Biggs is! Or how about Beyonce? She really did a good job in Austin Powers... Seriously, can we afford to believe Affleck is a good actor? Aren't we selling our movie-going selves short? Let us not forget GIGLI.... Which is why I am sure Torgo was kidding....

And no I'm not kidding. PS, Jason Biggs is a little ass and Beyonce annoys the poopie out of me.

well Torgo, we agree on Biggs & Beyonce- guess we just don't see eye to eye on B. Affleck. oh well, I think lots of stuff people don't agree with, this is just one more thing... Gotta admit though, the Brains would have had lots of fun with stinkers like Reindeer Games, Forces of Nature, and Bounce- and though I almost liked Bolier Room, his lackluster(IMO) performance seemed like he tried to channel Alec Baldwin from Glengarry Glen Ross-and failed miserably. Again, just my opinion-
