I can't enjoy movies that destroy New York City any more.

Not since 9/11.

I'm a fourth-generation native New Yorker.

New York City is the "mystic dirt of home."

Seeing it destroyed is no longer entertaining.

I saw it. Live.

*lizards were the only species to survive and went on to once again rule the earth

I mean, the movie sucked, but at least it had a happy ending.

How many hours of useless reality TV and TMZ breathless bulletins could have been saved if only he had been a little more hot tempered...

GIGLI would have been but a bad dream, perhaps caused by an undigested bit of beef, a blot of mustard, a crumb of cheese, a fragment of underdone potato...
