The French chick sucked

She was so wooden and robotic. No depth to her or any of the lines she was reciting. I found her extremely unlikeable and it was difficult to believe Leo would've had a crush on this chick who had no human qualities. Were we supposed to like her simply because she was pretty and had an accent? Plus--correct me if I'm wrong--didn't she already have a boyfriend!? She was fucking that other guy back at the dumpy hotel on the mainland. And yet she got mad when Leo fucked Tilda Swinton behind her back. None of that made any sense to me. I was hoping she'd get eaten by the shark at some point and was surprised when it didn't happen. Why else make her character so unlikable??

I say your being overly dramatic. She had human qualities. Yes she was hypocritical getting so mad about Leo's double dipping lol, but that's like most hot women. They all think because they're hot that things should be right according to them. That the world should revolve around them.

Well it wasn't really her fault when Richard cheated on her by having sex with Sal who blackmailed him into doing it. He should have been more responsible by telling her what Sal did to him

[–] Kj1oceanlust (1419) 4 years ago

There was no blackmail. Richard did what he's supposed what any real man would do and pound an attractive woman whose horny and hot for him. I would have done the same whether I was married or had a gf. If he really didn't want to he could have said no.

Richard did what he's supposed what any real man would do and pound an attractive woman whose horny and hot for him.

That's assuming the man actually finds the woman in question attractive, which is seriously dubious in Sal's case. But I guess it's a matter of taste.

[–] moviechatterer (13451) 3 years ago

its also assuming the attractive woman wants to be 'pounded'

[–] Wuchak (8159) 3 years ago

Absolutely. But, in Sal's case, she obviously did.

You would cheat on your wife or gf if a horny attractive woman came on to you?

[–] Kj1oceanlust (1419) 3 years ago

Oh absolutely! As much as I may love either a gf or wife. Seriously, who wouldn't want to taste a different doughnut once in a while rather than always eat the same honey dip?

[–] Jinx (3040) 3 years ago

That person who wouldn’t want to ‘taste a different doughnut,’ would be me. I couldn’t do that to someone that loved and trusted me, I would hate myself.

[–] Kj1oceanlust (1419) 3 years ago

I just don't get it (the concept of marriage). Who do we think we are to be able to own another person like a piece of property?

[–] Jinx (3040) 3 years ago

Then stay single, Jesus, nobody is forcing you to commit to someone. People do that because they want to. At least have the integrity to let the person you are with know how you feel or have an open relationship that you both agree to.

[–] Kj1oceanlust (1419) 3 years ago

I hear you. But being single also has pitfalls. Being on sites like pof, and dealing with all the ridiculous drama and so on. It's no wonder why some people now are single. Many women are just stupid. They say their looking for a relationship, and when you try to take the slower patient approach but few seem up for it. And if they make it seem like they're willing to try, their super analytical and are negative looking for flaws. They're idiots!

[–] Jinx (3040) 3 years ago

Maybe they don’t like you because you’re a dick.

[–] Kj1oceanlust (1419) 3 years ago

I can get along well with some women. Many women are dicks like you.

[–] Jinx (3040) 3 years ago

Yeah, it couldn’t possibly be you, being aware of that would require personal reflection, insight and responsibility.

REALLY?...YOU GOT HER NUMBER?

[–] Paperboy (127) 4 years ago

I couldn't get my mind off how much she looked like young (contemporary when this was filmed) Natalie Portman.

I don't remember any of these people being likeable tbh.
