It looked teal to me, but one of the shots was more a pale blue. With all the light surrounding the room, this could change what we are seeing. But you are remembering well what it looked like. It is difficult to talk about the movie in case others have not viewed it. Although reviews have the full story and depth explained, which I didn't quite understand fully. Her voice was difficult to hear. Yes disturbing and many symbolic messages, not a movie all would consider. The end may have been a dream, we really don't know how it ended and the kitchen may have been shown to throw us off. It was completely out of context from the story. You had me watching consistantly for a kitchen and couldn't figure out where the heck one was going to show up. At first I thought the two children were theirs (twins), but now thinking it may have been a dream with her and the childhood friend. I might get the book to sort this out, but the story may only be a screenplay.

I would love to read it- Add me to the list please? I have heard wonderful things about this book but our local library still does not have it! I have a ton of books that I would not mind sharing. Anyone else up for a book swap? Trish

I started watching this when they had the marathon on over the weekend. Are today's teens really so sex-obsessed? I swear the word sex is said every 5 seconds on that show. If my mother ever suggested that I masturbate when I was a teen, I'd probably still be sitting in that same spot, stunned, 25 years later. There are only about 3 characters that I like (Ben, his dad and his dad's girlfriend). I think it could be much better but it still managed to draw me in. I like the humor and the drama even though the focus on sex makes me shake my head.
