How bad can a movie get?

So far, Rottentomatoes.com (which collects movie reviews) has Gigli with a 0% Fresh rating, out of 45 reviews. This means that not one reviewer so far has liked the movie. For comparison, last week's deadly duo of Tomb Raider 2 and Bad Boys 2 (two of the worst-received films of the year) came in at around 26%. From Justin to Kelly came in with a 9% Fresh rating. Pretty much any movie will have a good review or two. But Gigli has an 0-Fer so far.

My local paper has the best comment: "It's the stuff Mystery Science Theater 3000s are made of." On that note alone, I might have to rent it.


In other movie news, our cats have pretty much destroyed our League of Extraordinary Gentlemen poster, which is a sign that they have good taste, I guess.

One last day of guests

So, yesterday was the last day at our house for all three of our houseguests (kiwitayro and wmjosiah left for Texas this morning, and ocean_song is going to be staying at the International House of Blasphemy tonight, courtesy of vidicon and bheansidhe). They've all been wonderful guests, and it's been great getting to know 'em better.

We all went to Crescent Moon for lunch yesterday, and it was yummy. Very yummy.

After work, we'd originally intended to hit Little Five Points, but bad weather made us change our minds. So no Vortex burgers for us. :-(

Instead, we grabbed food at Kroger, and rented the unrated version of The Sweetest Thing. We've now addicted even more people to The Penis Song, still the funniest three minutes of the last two years. There was much laughter, and much drinking. At one point, kiwitayro went into a laughing fit that lasted for about ten minutes. I honestly thought that she was going to croak, just like the weasels in Roger Rabbit. It wasn't helped by the fact that her laughing fit sent both of the Mermaids (ocean_song and mermaidblue) into cackling hysterics (hey, that could be a Magic Card: Cackling Mermaids: UU1, Summon Mermaid, 2/3; when Mermaids are assigned to block, all combat damage this turn is reduced by 2).

We also discovered that wmjosiah has an amazing blues voice.

I'd write more, but I've got two hours of meeting to head to. The point is, much fun was had, and I miss everyone already!

Drug laws gone bad, volume 78

(found via Bill Maher's Blog, conveniently available in LJ form over here)

Some asshat prosecutor in NC wants to try a guy busted for making meth as a terrorist, because the chemicals used are explosive.

Jesus fuck.

I can't begin to tell you how appalled I am. I can't begin to tell you how appalled I am at feeling this level of disgust nearly daily (this is, after all, just a few days after Poindexter wanted to start the world's largest Dead Pool in the name of fighting the terrorists, because if you can't gamble on death, the terrorists win). This prosecutor deserves a swift kick in the crotch.

On the plus side, this might set a good precedent. I'd love to see the entire executive board of ExxonMobile tried on terrorism charges.
