Yeah, I do the same thing, most recently with movie/book scenes that are similar. "The cave troll nearly skewered Frodo, oops, I mean the Orc Captain.."<P>His parents seem to be really out there, yeah. The overprotective mother circling her life around her beautiful baby as a reaction against her doomed marriage, the itinerent, emotionally distant, almost non-existant father, slandered after their separation by his angry ex-wife to his kids.. ugh. Says he doesn't want to get married until he's in his 30s? Can't imagine why..<P> How's that for some gossip?<P>I don't care about the smoking either, but it's too bad for him. Those clove cigarettes are ultra-high tar, and have, I think, formaldahyde in them, no filters. They're the chocolate liquour of cigarettes, people who hate smoking love the scent.<P>It takes intelligence to zero in on out what would sound intelligent, so I don't think he's faking it . But keeping a careful and professional spin-control? Oh yeah.
