Isn't it. Because she is TOTALLY dependent on him. For everything.

It's so weird--how distraught they both are.

"You are so beautiful." And he means it.

The juxtaposition of the two sex scenes was interesting.

He smears food all over her... it's a... sexual... thing???

And yes, one feels the depth of Michael's issues at this point... or begins to.
He doesn't just have a thing for fat girls, or isn't just a control freak. He's got deep seeded and desperate issues and is not the happy guy he projects himself to be. He cannot get release... pretty much literally...

never heard the DJ talk about the 'all you can eat buffet' before

I really felt they hadn't done enough to explain what drove Phil to Ohio. One day, he's pissed off in Sydney, next he's in Ohio and when he gets there he doesn't even check-in with the local police. Seriously? Renegade operation or not, that was, um, odd.

I agree - but at the root of both, desperation.

Yeah, continuity error...

He can't let on that he's there. Or they'll get in his way. He's on his own.

He's gone totally rogue at this point... and it's just personal. A guy thing. Who's is bigger...

And yeah, they are both effed up...

I know that was the intention - it just didn't work for me.
