Nazi, you made some good points in your post. However, I did not want things portrayed as obviously as possible. The scenes you mentioned about the outings and the school report really weren't that many.... I realize that Patty is a supporting character who probably didn't warrant that many scenes. What I posted up above were in no way the last words on the film. By confronting my post with anger (words all in caps), you reduce the possibilities of the dialogue's outcome. Who says quantity would've been the answer to improving Patty? Or that this is simply a screenplay issue? What you read into the film probably should've been conveyed better....in some way.

I mean, I guess it should have been conveyed better? Remember that Frank is the main character of the story, not Jimmy. We find out at the end that Patty won't even talk to Frank even after he is so old he cannot even take care of himself. That is a lot of hate to hold on to and properly displays her contempt for him and undoubtedly most of that is because she suspects Frank's involvement in Jimmy's termination.

I'm sorry, did you say I confronted your post with anger with all caps or were you simply illustrating a hypothetical?

You wrote the words to me, "A LOT," in your first response to me in all caps. Look, I'm growing tired of the back and forth with you on this. You clearly don't seem to want to gain anything from the exchange as I do, so I'd just like to end it.

Hmm, just capitalizing two words does not indicate yelling. It simply is a way to accentuate a phrase. Typically when someone writes an entire sentence in caps is when it is interpreted as yelling. Just thought you should know. Have a great day!

I disagree, but anyway, you too.
