A List Of Things Thrown Five Minutes Ago

IS ROGER EBERT SMOKING THE CRACK? He liked both American Pie 3 ("it has a sweetness that is impossible to discount, and it is often very funny", ***) and Gigli ("Affleck and Lopez create lovely characters . . . and the supporting performances and a lot of the dialogue is wonderful", ** 1/2) today.

Incidentally, I'm not going to compile Gigli reviews today. It's too easy. I mean, even the favorable reviews have lines like these:

But, surely to the chagrin of film scholars everywhere, "Gigli" is actually a moderately entertaining romantic comedy that endeavors to discuss issues of repressed homosexuality, Freudian phallic theory and "the feminine mystique" in an intelligent and thought-provoking manner. The fact that "Gigli"'s script writers are about as knowledgeable in these areas as a first-year community college undergrad is really beside the point.

Gobble, gobble.
