Oh wait, I suppose he was all right in Closer too.

I don't believe that for a second. He's waaay too smart. And he's not even in love with her. That guy would tell her exactly what he wanted her to know. The story turn was a huge convenience.

But I beleive he would tell her that because I myself have this thing called a penis. It makes me do and say unholy and uncontionable things, I could see letting a few secrets slip. <BR/><BR/>I once told a girl I had a dream about stroking her hair because she had a bad dream. If I'll say that I think I'd tell her the truth for a little ass.<BR/><BR/>But certainly a debateable point.Whaledawghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17451394136036202696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-1145233331779679962006-04-16T17:22:00.000-07:002006-04-16T17:22:00.000-07:00whaleawg,I'll answer your question but warning...T...whaleawg,<BR/><BR/>I'll answer your question but warning...<BR/><BR/>THIS IS A SPOILER.

It wasn't as fast paced in the beggining as I expect a comedy to be but the subtle satire was just brilliant. And the unsubtle satire was just as good.Whaledawghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17451394136036202696noreply@blogger.com
