Ask me anything. Just saw a preview of "Monster-in-Law"
with Jane Fonda and Jennifer Lopez. The preview audience was thoroughly involved -- laughed and laughed -- wonder if this will be the first hit movie of the summer. Opens wide in 3000 theaters on May 13th.

1. Hello? No J-Lo lovers or Fonda haters here? Kick this for me.

2. God, I hope not. Jane Fonda's bad enough.
But Jennifer Lopez doesn't deserve even one more ounce of attention. The skank's all jello, no mold.

Sincerely,

10. My son-in-law just finished his thesis. I think he said it was --
50 pages long, and I don't know the topic.

Happy keyboarding! (Does anyone say TYPING anymore?) May your thoughts come fast and your fingers move even faster.

14. He's a medical doctor -- also a computer programmer --
His degree is M.D. and then whatever he got for the second school experience (I never asked him that.) Lately, he's involved with Medical Informatics. As I understand it, he's teaching doctors about computers. It's a big field!

And very unique!

4. I'd be suprised if it cracks 50mil in the box
and sells more than 1 million units of DVDs. Its my job to know these things.

5. So, are you in the movie business? Or if not, how is it "your job"?
Edited on Fri May-06-05 10:23 AM by Radio_Lady
Here's a link to track this movie's take:

http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=monsterinlaw.htm

Of course, you'll have to wait at least until the end of the first weekend of release. That will be Monday, May 16th.

Can we keep this kicked until then?

6. I like Jane, but don't care for J-Lo at all
so will probably wait for it to come to commercial t.v.

12. Jane looks amazing at 67 -- some work done on her face and ???
Who knows where else.

I just got her book "My Life So Far" -- she's come through a lot in her life -- mother a suicide and she learned about it from a magazine; her father (Henry Fonda) cold and unemotional.

She is going to finish the book tour and then have her hip replaced. I don't recall if it's one hip or two, but she is using the ceramic and titanium type.

I hope I look that good at her age. Heck, that's next May, when I turn 67 -- no way, not without a personal trainer and a chef, and unlimited plastic surgery work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

8. I've seen the ads, made me chuckle.
Actually one part had me flat out laughing.

I'll see it on DVD eventually, I'm sure. :)

9. That movie looks cute!
I will be going to see it. I like J-Lo movies. I like her best when she plays in those romantic-comedy type films like Shall We Dance, The Wedding Planner, Maid In Manhattan....

15. Here's another question:
How's J. Lo's transition to "sweet little Jenny" going? Isn't she just adorable? Especially how she broke up a 2+ year relationship with Ben Affleck, then married Marc Anthony about 2 months later?

Wow. She's such a doll!

Hatefully,
Writer.
