isn't the case.
: In her (or his) haste to attack and damn Ben and Jen's relationship in any way
: possible (because it catches the interest of a news-reading public whose attention
: would be better spent on the war abroad), MSN's unfortunately named BeatBox
: Betty has dragged our flick into a spot of mud, alleging problems where there are
: none. I know she (or he) is only a gossip hound, but I'd ask that, in the future, she
: (or he) at least try to contact someone involved with a production she (or he) plans
: to besmirch, rather than lazily take her cues from the likes of a tabloid.
: While I'm at it, though, I'd also like to point out that all this "Gigli" stuff is crap too.
: I've seen the flick with a test screening audience, and I haven't heard laughter like
: that in a movie theater since "American Pie" (or "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back").
: And, mind you, the laughter was WITH, not AT, the movie.
: Much as I hate to disappoint BeatBox, both movies seem like they're going to do
: just fine - quite like Ben and Jen's relationship.
: Regardless, next time you're writing a story, even if it is for a gossip sheet, how
: about simply picking up a phone and doing a little research? Just because you've
: been reduced to the lowest rung on the ladder of journalism (manufacturing news
: where there really isn't any), it doesn't mean you have to conduct yourself like an
: asshole, know-nothing.
