Imagine, even "better" (by a hair) than "From Justin to Kelly"!  |  IP: Logged Charles Everett Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1470 From: New Jersey Registered: May 2001 posted 08-10-2003 12:34 PM                     Gigli now tops a second list -- biggest ever 2nd-weekend drop!

But it can NOT be as bad as MANOS: HANDS OF FATE. Does it have scenes longer than 32 seconds? (They only had a hand-wind camera.) Does it make sense? (MANOS doesn't) Is its title redundant? (Manos is hands in Spanish, so the title is Hands: Hands of Fate.) If not, it can NOT be as bad as Manos. In time, MANOS will reascend to the top of the heap, where it belongs. I leave it to you to decide what is in the "heap".  |  IP: Logged Carl Martin Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1424 From: Oakland, CA, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 08-11-2003 04:51 AM                        manos is a work of art, an expression of a demented cinematic genius. gigli is mediocre, that's all. master of disguise was far worse.  |  IP: Logged Nicholas Roznovsky Expert Film Handler Posts: 156 From: College Station, TX, USA Registered: Apr 2001 posted 08-11-2003 04:17 PM                        It's official - our bookings for this upcoming week are in and "Gigli" has left the building! "Manos" isn't good by any strech of the imagination, but its so bad and so cheesy that its actually somewhat fun to watch. "Gigli" is .  |  IP: Logged Jack Ondracek Film God Posts: 2348 From: Port Orchard, WA, USA Registered: Oct 2002 posted 08-11-2003 05:03 PM                        quote: "Gigli" has left the building!

Posts: 4143 From: Boston, MA Registered: Apr 2002 posted 08-15-2003 07:08 AM                        "Gigli" is leaving most of our screens. In a way, it was a blessing for me. Because there were no guests in many shows, I could just stop the movie and run tests in the houses where it was booked rather than waiting until it dropped at 1:30 in the morning.  |  IP: Logged Charles Everett Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1470 From: New Jersey Registered: May 2001 posted 08-21-2003 11:24 AM                     And there's a third record for Gigli -- biggest theater drop ever! (Wide releases that lose the most theaters for the 3rd week.) Oh, wait! Gigli is going to be released overseas starting in September! The horror . . . the horror . . .  |  IP: Logged
