After a string of real stinkers (we’re still arguing about who put Chasing Liberty on our Blockbuster queue), we’ve resumed my “Alice’s” film fest by seeing “Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice” (a follow up to “Alice Doesn’t Live Here Any More”). Troy thought a wife-swapping (I say “husband-swapping”) movie was in poor taste so soon after our own wedding, but the movie less about swinging, than the emptiness in certain truth-telling in relationships, not just Bob & Carol’s but also Carol & Alice’s…. The most hilarious scene is the one with Ted & Alice in the bedroom trying to negotiate sex. It would be difficult to put my finger on another movie that highlighted more clearly the difference between men and women.
