Did you ever want to play questions?

Grief I would say.

I have worked through grief with a number of clients, and it always manifests as an amorphous black mass.

Sorry monkeyoh?

No apologies necessary, are there? Besides, ain’t it possible to edit and re-form your response as a question? Or just leave it be, and enjoy your Donald?

Don’t I think grief is involved, but it’s also a general sense of isolation from other human beings that many mothers often feel? Isn’t it, I think more about how when we can’t grieve, we can come apart, and how parenthood often means we lack the time to properly care for ourselves? Can’t this be true of men, especially men who are the primary childcarer?

So, I saw it a week or so ago, and isn’t my opinion that it is a very, very succint exploration of grief and loss? While one could view it as the breakdown of a mother due to epic loss of a mother, as a dude can’t I still relate? Perhaps it may be a bias I have since two of my best friends are single dads?

(The ending was fucking brilliant. Almost like a subversive hitchcockian moment. I actually smiled while being terrified)

How do you read my mind?

Gah, I’d love to talk about finer points, but wouldn’t that spoil it? Do we need a SPOILERS movie thread? (I can merge it with the thread of thread)

Aren’t I feeling that way about it? Won’t I be pondering it for a while, especially since others have brought up the main point being about grief?

Shouldn’t you go out and jet a gob? Surely you’re not just another wazy lanker, looking for a handjob? Hasn’t the 53% had just about enough of leches like you?

Aren’t you underestimating my utter laziness, especially now that I’ve got some fish and chips and beer in me?

You followed through on the fish and chips? Can I tell you how envious I am right now? When was the last time I had good fish and chips?

Yes?

Though you are describing grief again. The loss of time for ones self?

Yes? Er…no?

Oh boy, would you take a gander at what I found at the booze shop today?

Have I not been waiting for this to come back, ever since I had it last year?
Doesn’t it do just exactly what it says on the tin?
