How could he f@ck that up with Olivia Wilde?


I mean, come on, if she asks you if you're gonna call, if you can be serious, you say YES! You f@cking idiot!




I want the doctor to take your picture so I can look at you from inside as well.

A young man's mistake I'd have made myself. From middle age, what I see is a crazy possessive stalker, and running like hell seems like the smart move.

Wilde's character brought "Fatal Attraction" to my mind.

True, true. But still, dude, it's Olivia Wilde!

Maybe some guys like their women with less forehead :)

"How could he f@ck that up with Olivia Wilde?"

Because:

1. He cares about her as a person.
2. He wants to be honest with her.
3. He is a flawed individual.
4. So is she.

You missed some dialog of the scene: She asking him if he is not going to wase her time at her age. Maybe you don't know but if women will ask you like that she wants you to be her's for life, so you don't put her in her ages.

Olivia's character is asking him that question after like few hours together at restaurant. Like you know after a few hours with a women you just met, you want to spend whole life with her. He was just shocked by the question and didn't know what to answer.
He should say "We should spend some more time together,than I can answer this question honestly."

Let us see the other side of the medal. Why is Olivia's character asking this question in the first place? Is it because she if frustrated of dating pricks who dumped her after one night? Or is it sometihing wrong with her? Don't search for the answer in the film.
As I like Olivia, I think her character answer to his hesitation and shock is rude and mean. Calling him "creepy dude" because he does not know if he wants to spent his life with her. This reaction is abit of place there, but some girls would propably say something similiar. Let's wait for some girls reaction th this scene.

It's a defensive response so that she does not feel rejected.



"a malcontent who knows how to spell"

Agreed! It was also her way of discrediting him in her eyes and at the same time putting the blame on him instead of herself.

It's funny because to me she was the one that came across as creepy, stalkerish and desperate.

~What if this is as good as it gets?!~

reply

Her reaction makes it obvious he dodged a bullet. (unless I am mixing up characters).

You're kinda right. But still, goddamn! It's Olivia Wilde!

You've never been truly in love, the way Theo was in love with Samantha.

If you had ever been, you'd understand the concept of not even WANTING to cheat with someone else.

There are some very hot ladies out there that have problems or their personality is so *beep* that they are not worth it, unless you are *beep* as them or something.

reply

All you say is true.

But it's still f'g Olivia Wilde! And I do mean f'g!

Honestly, she seems a little too forward, without being so alluring and feminine in a sexy movie. I can feel the same weirdness the character of Theodore felt towards Olivia's one. Their interaction doesn't feel natural at all, there's no sexual chemistry between the two (unlike his moments with Amy Adams' character, who definitely fits him, even as a potential lifemate). I appreciated a lot that sequence, since it helps portraying Theodore as a genuinely nice and somewhat self-confident kind of guy, not a creepy loner or a "desperate for sex" nerd, as the main plot device would have superficially suggested. This movie is a rare and delicate masterpiece.

Plus, by the way, Olivia's character, although attractive on a physical level, has definitely got something very wrong on an emotional level. Bad news to potentially start a relationship, and someone you definitely should care not hurting, both for her and your own benefits. She seemed like a nowadays cats/puppies-obsessed Facebook-stereotyped lady. If that was the intention, great job depicting and portraying her.

You can't base it on just looks.

reply

true.

reply

She was probably a psycho, judging by her questions and her reaction, so I'd say, long term he did the right thing.

However, rejecting that hot and super cute surrogate girl Isabella ... he could have had the best of both worlds, since both Samantha and Isabella were totally into it.
