...wait before having sex with a new guy. Apparently, even if you both want to have sex, it’s your responsibility as the woman to hold off, because once you do the deed, he will lose interest. “Even though he may turn on the charm subtly (or not so subtly) pushing to get you into bed, the truth is, he’d rather have you turn him down than give in…As long as you dangle the promise of sex in front of him, he’ll be fixated...
...please, let's not blame the machines, either. French and Italian cafes ditched the handmade espresso years ago for automation and don't seem to have suffered ennui because of it.

...Philip Glass’ score puts you on edge like musical version of nails against a chalkboard. But without Dench, none of it would stick. Dench plays Barbara Covett, who fills notebook after notebook with the unfiltered impressions of her keen and bitter psyche, and with all the charm of a steel fire door. In retrospect, this behavior hints at something much deeper than bitterness, but Patrick Marber’s (“Closer”) screenplay holds onto every detail until the moment of greatest effect. Thus, by the end, we are disturbed to find ourselves so well...
