Does he pick up his wet towels?

Does he go down on her for hours?

This is the only thing that would make me change my response.

Will she co-sign for his next lease?

So go see it and pan it (e.g., "that mime sure sucked")* and be your own man again. You have to work this issue out somehow before it tears you all up inside. I'm just sayin'.

*Yes, there is a mime, and he does the only funny thing I've ever seen a mime do. That's how good this is. I laughed at a fucking mime.

So, about Prague...

sexpert. Geez. Get it straight.

Is Batman Begins at all worth seeing? In an escapist sense?

I don't want to want to watch it
 

I thought rabbits were good for that sort of thing?

Yes. Remember how the first Batman movie made everybody go "wow" in comparison to the tv series? It's like that, but in comparison to the crap sequels that have come since the first batman movie.
