Lars and the Real Girl
Having read the thread/watched the real girl documentary a few weeks ago, I was rather surprised to hear of an upcoming move, "Lars and the Real Girl."
"Lars (Ryan Gosling) is an awkwardly shy young man in a small nothern town who finally brings home the girl of his dreams to his brother and sister-in-law's home. The only problem is that she's not real - she's a sex doll Lars ordered off the internet. But sex is not what Lars has in mind, but rather a deep, meaningful relationship. His sister-in-law is worried for him, his brother thinks he's nuts, but eventually the entire town goes along with his delusion in support of this sweet natured boy that they've always loved."
What do you fellow TFP'ers think about this? Is it going to help some of us better understand the real doll relationship? Or is it going to emphasize the creepiness of it all when moviegoers discover that people out there ACTUALLY hold intimate relationships with dolls?
