Yay, Gigli scores a zero on the tomatometer, as of this writing. First one of those I've seen in a while. Not sure why I so very much wanted this movie to fail; probably something to do with all the T ads. So many T ads. Those posters cleverly placing the title inline with the female lead's celebrated aft protuberances. Well, so be it.

Already disappointed by Maher's blog. He's apparently just writing down monologue-style jokes about news items as he thinks of them, so each graf keeps to a strict setup/zinger format, one after the other, on and on. It doesn't really work in print, which has very different rules of comic timing.

His grammar's a little fudgy, too, which suggests that he doesn't normally write this frequently, and ironically this makes his blog a little more interesting: here's a smart, opinionated, more-or-less famous guy who has found a channel for daily spoutations because weblogs are neat, to which I say hear hear. But, still, I have to hold out hope that he'll get the hang of it in time. (Or give up entirely.)
