I think that if your only purpose for seeing a movie was to get laid by your date afterward, you probably weren’t paying much attention to the movie or the acting in it or to your date for that matter. But I hope at least you had a good time.

And consider the possibility that there were no more dates might have had more to do with your performance that Streep’s. Your date might well remember the popcorn as the highlight of the evening.

Just saying.

I found the movie boring, my wife, whom I did not know at that time, finds Streep boring, too, based on Out of Africa which I think she more or less ruined. I just picked that The French Leiutenant's Woman as something that was current at that time. My companion of the evening had a lot of issues, but I suspect she eventually found a more compatible soul mate. She was getting over a rough break up and I was not the hand holding over a hot cup of camomile type. I was wrong person at the wrong time, our separation was mootchal. She was sleeping with me to get over her last boyfriend, which seldom works out for anyone.
