I don't think that last scene was meant to be romantic at all. The way it ended on him saying that she was magic as she's sitting all alone and depressed at a bus stop, read more like either "notice how creepy and omnipresent the male gaze is!" or that this is the reality of the perfect carefree woman they have in

That's what I thought too, and was trying to figure out who Ben was going as. Which is weird since I'm sure I've spent more hours of my life watching Princess Bride than Game of Thrones.

that is utterly meaningless

That's good to hear, man. I wish I read more.

And The Mummy.

"It’s where old-guard action stars who aren’t interested in parodying their screen personas—like Dolph Lundgren and Jean-Claude Van Damme" Riiight. That's why Van Damme did JCVD and they're both in Expendables.

…keep going

I don't think I would notice it that much if I could resist comparing it to Kinsey (since they have the potential to be very similar) which I'm remembering as a little more explicit and at a similar point in that story we already had full frontal Peter Saarsgard. Also now that they've brought male subjects into the

I think it would be marginally less creepy if he called her mommy…but he's not.

I liked that detail. Pissed at husband, I'm going to compare him unfavorably to William Holden for awhile. Try and stop me.

Yes, but I have to admit I found the sight of him reciting Our Fathers while working out deeply enjoyable. Not sure what that's about, some sort of sexy priest fantasy, maybe?

Kind of a mess, but a highly entertaining one. I think he wanted to tell a story about how porn and rom coms create unrealistic expectations but got lost and wound up with a story about a guy who doesn't realize his girlfriend is THE WORST because she looks like Scarlett Johansson but then Julianne Moore and the movie
