Something seemed broken in the movie - a very remote picture - consider the cast Bill Murray, Jessica Lange, Sharon Stone, Frances Conroy ( six feet under Mom) - have very ambivalent feelings about it. Bill Murray did Lost in Translation and now this - liked the other one much more. A critic writes "Murray superbly insinuates to us a man full of feeling who is bemused by his own inability to find a way to let it out." Hugh Grant's About a Boy was similar but had an obviously commercial fairytale ending. The character mellowed and was able to "let it out".
Scary at a different level - there could be lot of us who could end up like this. In the gay context being Don Juan is no big deal but the price to pay is quite steep u end up with a fancy house with your big TVs and the other gizmos but no one to really share it with ....

"Lying"
He puts his brush to the canvas,
with one quick stroke

Steps back, considers.
Takes pity.
Unfolds another.

its better to "squander" your 20s in studies/work/career rather than sit around doing nothing and regretting it later. its one thing to *know* priorities and another to *actually* put em into practice.

Hmmm... selon moi, sex can be an initial stepping stone, to finding someone to share your life with. A learning experience. Knowing someone, learning what exactly it is about them and you that "completes the other" is an acquired skill. The point is, until one jumps into the pool and gets fully wet, one never learns to swim. And therein lies the test of courage.

where are u to be !?
