Hey everyone! Welcome to the 25th edition of my Bad Movie Tweet-A-Thon series. As you already know last month here on SuperMarcey.com I posted up poll with three bad movies and I said that whichever one out of those three films had the highest votes, I would watch and live-tweet for this column. Well, the votes are in and you all have spoken. For this instalment of Bad Movie Tweet-A-Thon, you guys wanted me to watch and live-tweet… GIGLI! Will I figure out why this consists of only monlogues? Was this film really the low point of both Ben Affleck & Jennifer Lopez’s careers? Read on and find out! Enjoy!

I’ve said this many times before and I’m going to say it again: is it too late for me not to watch this abomination of a film? #Gigli
Why does the music in this film sound like it’s a early 90s TV sitcom? #Gigli
Don’t get me wrong I like Ben Affleck as much as the next person but man, I really want to punch his character here in the face #Gigli
Poor Martin Brest. After making great films like BEVERLY HILLS COP and MIDNIGHT RUN, he goes on to write & direct this piece of crap. #Gigli
Geez, I’m not even 10 minutes into this film and I’m dying from boredom. #Gigli
Justin Bartha leaves no cliché unturned for his performance as a mentally handicap person. He makes Sean Penn in I AM SAM look subtle #Gigli
Where’s the security in this hospital? I’m sure it wouldn’t be easy for Affleck to take Bartha out of there without being noticed #Gigli
Oh, geez. Affleck is trying to make Bartha believe the flashlight he’s talking into is a phone. This is just seriously insulting. #Gigli
Oh, great. Jennifer Lopez has finally showed up. Just when I think this film couldn’t get any more worse than it is. #Gigli
The flirting between Affleck and J.Lo is just so… Awkward. It’s pretty unconformable. #Gigli
Affleck’s hairdo in this film looks really weird. It looks like a plastic hair wig on his head. #Gigli
Wait a second. If this film is set in Los Angeles, why does everybody have a New Jersey accent? #Gigli
Yeah, I’m sorry, Gigli. If you have to keep telling people that you’re an authentic true blue gangster, you’re definitely not a gangster #Gigli
Geez, Gigli is such an unlikable character and we’re suppose to root for him? screw that! He’s a 100% certified douche-bag! #Gigli
This film’s treatment of mentally disabled people is really troubling. I honestly have no idea what they are going for here. #Gigli
Okay, why is Affleck talking about cows and bulls all of sudden? #Gigli
I think Affleck is channeling Andrew Dice Clay for his performance in this film. #Gigli
How can Gigli afford a lavish apartment like that? It looks like costs a mint. #Gigli
It’s pretty clear that this Affleck talking to the mirror scene was meant to be his ‘are you talking to me?’ scene from TAXI DRIVER #Gigli
Unfortunately though as we are all aware, it didn’t quite work out in the end at all. #Gigli
The look of Affleck’s face after he finds out that J.Lo is a lesbian is pretty hilarious #Gigli
Make sure you get that product placement in there, movie. Those Sony TVs aren’t gonna sell themselves, you know. #Gigli
Geez, Gigli wears the ugliest T-shirts I’ve ever seen in a film #Gigli
Okay, this film just got a little bit better. Why you ask? ‘Cause Christopher Walken just showed up! Why? I don’t know #Gigli
Ahhh… What the hell is Christopher Walken talking about? I honestly have no idea whatsoever. #Gigli
Geez, nobody in this film simply speaks in dialogue in this film, they all speak in monologues instead. #Gigli
For some bizarre reason, Christopher Walken is talking most about pies and alien abductions in this scene. At lest I think he is. #Gigli
Wait, what?! Christopher Walken is only in this film just for that scene?! What a ripoff! #Gigli
Also speaking of which, what was the purpose of Walken’s character anyway? He just seemed rather pointless. #Gigli
Oh, great. Affleck is talking into that flashlight again. #Gigli
Ahh, why is J.Lo going into a monologue about gouging out someone’s eyeballs? #Gigli
Gigli is probably the most clichéd gangster I have seen in a film. He’s basically a parody of one. #Gigli
“Tell me, Larry. What is it that you’re sad about?” Well, I’m in this film for starters”. #Gigli
Yep, just what the world needed to see: a middle-aged woman getting a needle in her butt while she’s wearing a g-string, which takes up the whole frame. #Gigli
Ahhh, Gigli’s Mum. I’m pretty sure you could have injected that needle into yourself rather than getting your son to do it. #Gigli
These are some of the most awkward conversations I’ve ever seen in a film. #Gigli
Why is Bartha’s character calling a weather station in Australia? Nothing in this film makes any sense. #Gigli
Did the composer of this film only write two pieces of music for this film? ‘Cause they just keep using the same score over and over again #Gigli
Oh, dear God. More monologues. I suppose it’s been almost 5 minutes since this film has had one. #Gigli
Now J.Lo is doing a monologue about vaginas and oral sex while at the same time, doing some yoga exercises. This is just bizarre. #Gigli
Also I swear, this monologue has been going on for at lest 20 minutes. It just goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on… #Gigli
I don’t know why Affleck is reading a toilet paper roll to Bartha. I just honestly don’t know. #Gigli
I don’t know why this dance that Bartha is doing never caught on in pop culture. It could have easily have been the next macarena #Gigli
Uh, oh. J.Lo’s girlfriend just showed up. Things are about to get really awkward. #Gigli
Holy crap! J.Lo’s girlfriend just slashed her wrists in front of everyone! This film has a taken to turn to the serious
#Gigli
Wait… Did Bartha say that his penis just sneezed?! His penis just sneezed?! WHAT ON EARTH AM I WATCHING?! #Gigli
Okay, now Affleck and co. are at the morgue to get a severed film. Yeah, you heard that right. #Gigli
Affleck is using a plastic knife to cut off a dead person’s finger. I repeat he’s using a PLASTIC KNIFE to cut off a finger! #Gigli
Also Bartha is rapping Sir Mix-A-Lot’s “Baby Got Back” song while Affleck is doing this. I’M NOT MAKING ANY OF THIS UP!!! #Gigli
How much hair gel is in Affleck’s hair? I think he must have used an entire tub in on it. #Gigli
I’m just going to come out and say it: I think the script for this film was actually written by Tommy Wiseau from THE ROOM #Gigli
Yeah… I think that it is pretty impossible to actually go down to post office and send off a severed thumb in the mail #Gigli
How is it possible that Affleck keeps type-cast as guy who falls in love with a lesbian. It seems to happen to him a lot. #Gigli
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez have the chemistry of oil and water in this film. #Gigli
Listen, J.Lo. If you want someone to perform oral sex on you, please I don’t say, “It’s turkey time. Gobble, gobble”. It’s disturbing #Gigli
Also if I read a script that had a line like “It’s turkey time. Gobble, gobble” in it, I probably would not sign on to do it. #Gigli
Well… That sex scene was pretty awkward. #Gigli
“God bless you, penis” Did Affleck just say that? OH DEAR JUST STOP THIS MADNESS! AHHHH! #Gigli
I swear Affleck’s hairdo in this film gets bigger and bigger as the film goes on. #Gigli
This score does not suit the film at all. #Gigli
Oh, no. Al Pacino?! What the hell are doing here?! Who blackmailed you to be in this piece of crap?! #Gigli
Ahhh… Why is Pacino doing a very long monologue about thumbs? #Gigli
I swear this film has the most monologues about the random pointless stuff I’ve ever heard in a film. #Gigli
Pacino just shot someone in the head. Why? Just like everything else in this film, I don’t know. #Gigli
Pacino, I know that the director of this film helped you to finally win an Oscar but you didn’t have to say thank you by starring in…*this*!!! #Gigli
Oh, man. There’s an 30 minutes left of this film. IT JUST DOESN’T END!!! #Gigli
Oh, geez. J.Lo is doing another monologue. Again. #Gigli
I swear every actor in this film must have only signed on to it so they can do a lot of very long monologues. #Gigli
See ya Al Pacino! I hope you were paid well for this cameo! #Gigli
Oh, geez. Bartha is rapping again. #Gigli
Thank goodness Ben Affleck was able to rebound his career after this film. ‘Cause he’s pretty awful here. #Gigli
Man, the score in this film is awful. #Gigli
Geez, Affleck has finally taken Bartha’s character to ‘the Baywatch’. Who didn’t see this ending coming? #Gigli
I know you’re trying to make Gigli sympathetic here, Affleck. But I’m sorry, it still doesn’t change that he is a douche-bag #Gigli
lol It’s pretty hilarious seeing Affleck trying to emote. #Gigli
Awww… What a sweet touching moment… I think I’m going to be sick… *vomit* #Gigli
Yeah, I’m pretty sure in real life, Bartha’s character cannot simply just walk onto a film set without being noticed by security #Gigli
Especially for the fact he’s wearing winter clothes when everybody else on the set is just in beach gear. #Gigli
Oh, man. The woman who Bartha’s character has been paired up with has the one of the worst Aussie accents I’ve ever heard. #Gigli
OMG J.Lo has come back for Affleck! They were meant to be together! *vomit* #Gigli
The film’s ends with Affleck & J.Lo driving off into the sunset… SO THAT THEY CAN GET AWAY FROM THIS ABOMINATION OF A FILM!!! #Gigli
I hope everyone enjoyed reading this 25th edition of my Bad Movie Tweet-A-Thon!
