YAY!!!! You watched it! "Quirky" is the puuuuurfect word to describe it.

Oh! Factoid: Maggie Gyllenhaal is a Virgal. Isn't that interesting?

As far as Ed's character, I agree with the book "Cosmic Coupling". He is a Cancer. All moody and broody like that...and that lair-like office. A perfect dwelling for a crab.

@Layna

Awwww...That was the sweetest part. And bathing her, and washing her hair, and picking her head up off the table and giving her the shake to drink...I could go on and on!

I also loved:

When he gave her the hot chocolate. Hahahaha at him having it just waiting there for her.
When he watched her rummage through the dumpster for his files and got all worked up in the process.
When he got jealous after seeing her in the laundromat with Peter, lol.
The priceless expression on her face when she saw that he had thrown the donuts she bought him in the trash.
The moment their eyes locked when he discovered that she was a cutter.
The scene where he fires her, and she slaps the shit outta him. Pahahahaha...I was scream'n--"YES! Slap his a*& again!" In that moment, that slap and her giving him direct eye contact like that immediately put her on his level. She owned herself right then and there and was no longer the young little secretary that he could push around.
And last, the way he responded, like an addict who just took a "hit" when she stroked her hand through his hair.

Owwwwwwwwww!!!! Dreamz saw the movie toooooooooo!!!! Kinky love story right? Love it! I was watching it last night! I agree with Vixxx that he's a Cancer. He was straight 7:30, for real. Reminds me of my gem *rolls eyes* possible, he could have been a Gemini too.

Layna no bugs eh? The only bugs I touch are ladybugs & locusts. IDK but I like to pick locusts up & just watch them flap all around buzzing, lol, then I let them go. Yeah, I'm a weirdo hehehehe. @ Vixxx another fave part in the movie
(I have many) is also @ the very end when she's tied up & they're making love up against the tree...*chills* I sooooo love that.

Lol @ addict that took a hit. Yeah, he was very engaged in that moment of running the hands through the hair. I thought he was gonna fall out the chair, hahaha. But what had me rolling for some reason is when he told her to get out & she's like what are you doi...GET OUT!!! Cut her off in mid sentence!! I was CTFU. One more 😄...was when Peter came in the office & he goes, "I'm your fiance Lee" she's like no, YOU are trespassing, & she goes into the whole definition, had me Lmao. 😛

@VV It is interesting that Maggie is a virgo! She played the part so so well I can't imagine anyone else for the role.

and OMG you guys Ed as a cancer!!! I just thought I felt that because of mine - I tend to relate everything to people I know but it really would make so much sense - the cold outer shell and then the soft gooey centre! My cancer likes freaky stuff but he must have his "we are one being" moments mixed in. My friend's ex cancer bf used to like to brush and blow dry her hair.

I loved the intensity in the scene when Edward made Lee pull down her panties and pantyhose. It looked like on his face he was trying to figure out where he would go with the super vulnerable but equally erotic position he had her in. Also her expression of being thrown off by a new twist to their routine (so virgo). It was such a look of being thrilled and really afraid at the same time.

I laughed at the montage of her repeatedly trying to get his attention and him blowing her off.

Another favourite of mine is when Peter pulls her away from the desk and she goes psycho on his ass and uses brute force on him to go back to her place. Along with the slap to Edward (which was soo funny) it showed how her character is not a pushover by any means but that she allows Ed the privilege of experiencing her as his submissive.

PS @RT I love ladybugs too but we go our separate ways on the locusts lol As a kid, I used to also pick up caterpillars but they would start getting all sticky eww so I couldn't stand to do it anymore.

@RT

lol @ 7:30. He was a damn doozy.

I was too through when he yelled at her and told her to get out because you just know how much she loves him and doesn't want to go.

The scene in the woods up against the tree was...whew chile...

I don't think Mr. Holloway ever thought that they would get to the point where they would actually have sex (he tells her in the scene where he bends her over the table, "I'm not going to eff you") because of his awareness of Lee's fear and "walls". However, he knew that as a "newbie", she liked playing this "game"--a game Mr. Holloway knew all too well because he was used to playing it (and winning) with all of his previous secretaries, and thought that in time he would discard of her as easily as he had done the rest, but was in for a rude shock when "sweet lil submissive" Lee not only changed the game but upped the anti with her tenacious standoff, so to speak, in her fight for them to embrace the one thing that neither had ever had before, but so desperately craved--true intimacy.

The very last scene was powerful. When Lee glares at "us" from the other end of the camera. It's almost as if she's saying--"here I am in the fullness of my glory...And what?" *cue "How Ya Like Me Now" by Kool Moe Dee*

That montage was funny. He wasn't feeling it anymore...hahahaha

Oh yes! That's right! She slapped the shit out of Peter too! I felt so sorry for him. 😢

I can't stomach bugs. I always close my eyes when she proceeds to put that roach or whatever the heck it was on the bed at the end.

Tiki - you and I are >here< I mean, how dare he insult her like that— Hell, I would have slapped him from the back hand side too. Oh, and James Spader is an Aqua btw. Born Feb 7th.

Thanks for the correction Hiss. IMDB had her listed as a Virgo a few months back. All good. I like Scorps.
