Makes sense. But I was beginning to really sympathize with her; the scene where he tells her daughter about their affair was sad.

Elaine's definitely cute. So what you're saying is that it doesn't matter what we think about his supposed object of affection. This is the problem I've had with the Spider-Man movies: what is it about Mary Jane that's got this dude so sprung? And what is it about Kate Winslet's character in Eternal Sunshine that's so endearing?
