Jeez, was he trying to start a fire?

So that movie was pretty good as far as the story and actors and things like that. It was clear that a lot of clever people spent a lot of time putting together a clever story... however there were a few times where some of the more superficial dialog was kind of pale compared to the rest of the components of the…

@sbunny: Blues guitarists have always sexualized their playing since that is kind of like a major theme in the music.
