Watched the film "Closer" last night.

We need to denormalize the idea that love doesn't involve actually being nice to the loved one.

I mean COME ON.

At one point one of the (annoying and deeply sexually insecure) men asks a woman he supposedly loves "What do you expect me to do?" and she says "Understand?". But it's obvious he's not going to, because he's jealous and selfish and doesn't seem to like her especially.

That's dumb. I guess couples who are kind and understanding to each other and tolerate mistakes, don't make for such interesting plots. BUT WHAT ARE WE TEACHING THE CHILDREN?

(I'm also team "Jane did not have the sex with Larry, he was lying and she 'admitted' it because Dan wouldn't accept any other answer." Also wow Natalie Portman is small!)
