Which I know she will, so I'm good with it.<br /><br />What amazes me is the scene where Joe picks up Shane. WHO DOES THAT!? I mean, can you picture it? I have no idea of whether the movie has this scene in it or not, but it's so incredibly unusual, yet heartwarming at the same time. Sometimes even independent men like Shane need a hand and that's why you need the Joe Starrett's of the world!Carissa (Regency Woman)https://www.blogger.com/profile/16052175780167961631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5587150608901957801.post-72872604555531410312016-02-07T13:27:12.220-05:002016-02-07T13:27:12.220-05:00It's a love triangle, but it's a complicat...It's a love triangle, but it's a complicated, confusing one where the people in it face real-life problems and everything's not perfect...there's no teen angst or whining or the like, which is why I think teens shouldn't just read teen literature. :PEvahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00992633823859430981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5587150608901957801.post-84467341193115816182016-02-06T20:20:04.932-05:002016-02-06T20:20:04.932-05:00If I was Marian, Joe.

Y'know, it's really good thing that Bob isn't old enough by one or two years or he might have sensed the feelings really between Marian & Shane. What a decision for Marian.To stay with Joe or to go with Shane. I think Joe and Marian wouldn't bicker over Bob's wishes.
