Re: Well, compared to many Hollywood husbands,

I would hardly call myself anti-Bernard. I was trying to point out in my posts, that while Bernard acts like a conceited, smug a-hole, he was really not any more selfish and cruel than LL was. I do recall the scene you mentioned but I thought even more revealing was when Bernard told her that he stay married to her while she was having an affair for (4?) years. I don't know many guys, myself included, that would stick around during that!

I really enjoyed this movie and I think the depth of the two lead characters was quite unlike anything coming out of Hollywood in the past couple of years. I can see when viewers would want to think of Bernard as a simple prick, but I thought he was a much more complex character than that. To merely dismiss him as an pompous s.o.b. who fucked up his kids by inflicing his intolerance of others on them is a mistake, imho.
