Which made me laugh but was also quite honest about the SERIOUSLY BLEAK thing.<br /><br />I love the fact that you just come right out and say the penis thing. Because now, if I say that X film has Michael Fassbender in it, my mum's eyebrows shoot up and she says "the guy whose tackle you've seen in that film?... *pause*... I might have to watch that one sometime." Seriously, it's like the shower scene in Om Sara all over again. And they say women aren't as bad as men. :P<br /><br />I wasn't sure about the incestuous vibe either, I have to say. When he caught her in the bath I thought she was his ex or something, not his sister. And when SHE caught HIM and they started fighting and the towel fell off... DEFINITELY some weird connotations there.<br /><br />Anyway, when I first watched it, I was like, "okay that was good but far too depressing to ever watch again." Now I'm glad I've kept hold of it because I think I'll appreciate it more the second time around. Also, there's some nudity that I might like to watch again sometime. Just sayin'. ;)Elliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07246472269477492583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6275165298547340568.post-47927136807569759862013-01-17T21:26:02.177+00:002013-01-17T21:26:02.177+00:00At least it does that instead of only doing the ma...At least it does that instead of only doing the mail one.

I honestly thought that his entire sex addiction was going to be spawned from the fact that they'd had sex when they were younger or something. But I don't really think that anymore.

Hmph.<br /><br />Tell your husband it's a really important art film? And you don't really care about penises anyway? (Ok, that sounds bad. Maybe don't say that bit.)Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17371636785566309578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6275165298547340568.post-80574582579967440322013-01-17T21:04:55.317+00:002013-01-17T21:04:55.317+00:00Oh good.
