Yes, I understand the original author of jpluck has moved on to
commercial software.

I had the impression someone else had expressed interest in picking up
maintenance of the software though.  And bit rot hasn't set in just
yet.  :)

The .jxl files are likely a jpluck thing.  They just define things like
"what URL should I grab?", "how deep should I recurse?" and "How deep
should the bitmap pictures be, if you want them?"

I may look at this over the weekend if I find the time, but I've
actually been doing semi-similar stuff by loading metacritic, some
Edwards theater listings from Fandango, and some Mann theater listings
on my palm.  Have you found the mercury news site gives better content
(for your area) than the alternatives?
