: Many thanks. You guys are too cool. Spent the day with the family, then Jen and I checked
: out "Pirates" (which was cute).
: As far as all this worrying about what this weekend's "Gigli" reception means for "Jersey
: Girl"... well, don't waste your energy. We're gonna be fine (more than fine, I think). Apples
: and oranges. Shit, apples and blowjobs, really. No further prognostication necessary. I
: know it's a hot topic this weekend for obvious reasons, but lest we (or rather, I) have to
: endure all this nail-biting speculation for the next eight months, let's curb it now.
: Whatever's gonna happen's gonna happen. If it's any consolation, I'm not sweating it. I've
: seen "JG" with audiences. I know all the stuff regarding the release plans for the flick that
: we (or rather, I) don't talk about here (or anywhere). And while I'm sorry that "Gigli" didn't
: do better this weekend, it's critical reaction and B.O. take won't have the slightest effect on
: "Jersey Girl". Take my word for it.
: I'm sure there are those of you who've been reading the spoiler-laden reviews that've
: popped up around the 'net for the last half year or so. Aside from the one big difference
: between "JG" and "G" that you might've read about, the two are just completely different
: films altogether. It'd be like worrying how "American Beauty" was gonna do, because Kevin
: Spacey's "Consenting Adults" didn't fare well at the box office. Or thinking "Jerry Maguire"
: didn't have a chance because Rene Zellwegger was in "Love and a .45" or that "Texas
: Chainsaw" sequel.
: We're gonna be alright. More than alright. You'll see.
