On this I agree. There is not enough patience in the world if he started doing full character builds for every name in the VN. Mr. Murray ain't that interesting (He may be interested now, but not interesting. See the difference.
)This does go, however, to my point that he screwed the pooch on this part of the story. Sophia was not aghast at this suggestion. Yet she blew up at poor Ivan for just being helpful! Yup, crushed the entire raison d'tere (ck Sp) for me.From "Zulu" to today one of my favorite actors! I must add Without a Clue (W/ Sir Ben Kingsley) and The Man Who Would be King (W/Sir Sean Connery). Are two of the most underrated movies IMO and classic Michael Caine.
As I have noted, the discussion crushed the credibility for me. I felt the baseline for the entire VN was just proven false. So disappoint!
Dylan just needs to get off. I am sure fleshlight or other pseudo item would be sufficient!
To be fair, L&P has written Liam more fairly than most "landlord" characters. He has his flaws (not spending enough time with Sophia and kids, throwing himself into work, his greed at casino etc). But they are normally excluded from the story, either deceased or working away overseas, or is written as a clearly unsympathetic character.
Apparently! That is a supposition. We do not know the facts! Are we going to get another story changing body slam as this goes forward. We may find that Cathy and Liam already went down this path. It may have even been a threesome and they want the super uptight Sophia brought in. Or did Liam get the job by making sure the boss had the right (tested and broken in) models at hand. Any of these outlandish concepts are now free game after that ending scene discussion It is in such contrast, counter argument even, to where we started on that flight a mere 12 days ago. So Disappoint!
Ha! Agree. Younger kids of the tik-tok era seem to start every other sentence with “scientists have proven …”
You are quite right. I subscribe to a writing style that embraces, 'show me, don't tell me'. In the initial meeting at the restaurant with Andy and Cathy there was opportunity to lay this groundwork. For instance, when the bachelor party subject was broached Andy could have given Sophia a suggestive look. If Sophia returned with a blush, that would have been poignant, and established the playfulness without breaking her demure image. It also would have fired the audience's imagination in terms of what may have happened in the past and what might happen in the future.
True. And most scientists today bullshit the 'proven' part. They do not have absolute evidence they have 'indications' or 'trends' or 'in this test'. So little critical thinking and not being held accountable for the BS they put out. Theory is not law. That is why it is still the Theory of Relativity. Real scientists are still testing it. So far so good but, that is real science. And any social science has tons of exceptions that these 'kids' have no ability to understand or desire to account for. So fascinating that Dr Kinsey was found to have falsified his research to justify his findings. He was not the first and was definitely not the last. Still looking at cold fusion are we?
TY. Yes laying there with my wife, exhausted, after 10 minutes and both of us satisfied is just as important or vital to the relationship as a floor strewn with used condoms and eight hours later crawling to the shower. I completely concur both are wonderful and both fill the need in a relationship. The exhaustion of pleasing your partner is the same. That result was the same it was just down different paths. The point was pleasing your partner! IMO
I think we discussed about this a while ago. I don't think Sophia is naive or innocent. The sex scenes with Liam showed that she is not shy when it comes to being intimate with her husband. Also in several occasions there are hints that back in the days she had her share of fun (the teachers, the rock bands, Liam..). Not as much or the same level as Patricia's but I would not picture her like the shy or innocent girl, at least in term of that kind of cliché. The feeling is that she rather gave up all this when she got married and pregnant and she built this "facade" to get in the role of model wife, caring mother and respectable teacher.
That's just shit L&P says to get people to calm down.
That is awesome! Thank you very much for taking time out of your day to do that.
And I don't mean the second shot.
