I was kinda surprised that we saw actual boobs in the Van Alden Marital Bedroom, given that we didn't get a nudity warning before the credits.

But it's not even the same stick-up-his-butt ramrod posture he had as Mr. Prohibition Agent. His shoulders are more squared, and his head is at a more… regal angle, I think.

Protip: the more you associate emotional emptiness and sexual repression with women, the more likely it is that women of every stripe are likely to think of sex as something dirty, shameful, and bad. Which is to say, you're guaranteeing that there will be truckloads more books exactly like FSoG.

and how the public at large doesn't (it seems) speak out about it being vaguely emotionally and psychologically abusive.

Well, he was apparently already a big man in Baltimore, so it's something that he's familiar with.  But yes, I suspect things are not going to go well for him, because if Chalky doesn't know yet, he's going to figure it out with a quickness.
