As protection from what has often spewed from his mouth during past episodes, I chose to watch this scene with Jimmy only to observe the body language minus the sound. I really like silent-movies of old so I guess you can say I am versatile at least in that department(sound).
I wanted to see if Jimmy's movements indicated agressiveness or causing extreme pain as with Colin's victimization,
from my point of view. Much to my surprise and still conditioned to expect the worst from Jimmy, I sat in the silence watching this scene not knowing what they were talking about. With only a partial understanding of the events lacking the dialogue, I at least established that this appeared to be less brutal. I had seen enough and had no desire to hear the verbal interaction. I left unoffended, but at the same time I left uninformed too. But it wa
Then on the new thread for this episode, I read comments from other distressed forumites that the "
locker-room language" was in full bloom once again, hopefully reestablishing that Jimmy was "King of the Jungle". In other words, the alpha male in the scene. All I can say is Jimmy must be very personally very insecure to have to deliberatly display this compulsion for "
marking his territory" in every episode by pissing everywhere with his offensive language, as if this has not already been established back in April in his first
Broke Straight Boys performances.
We are not stupid or that forgetful, especially since this is the most divisive aspect Jimmy displays in every scene, besides sometimes being too physically aggressive. It makes me wonder if this constant need for reinforcement is because he is insecure deep down, or has early onset of Alzheimer's. Of course I could be wrong once again, but this is my opinion after the constant repetition of the same offensive behaviors. On the positive side, Jimmy certainly toned down his physical roughness I normally find objectionable from any model so inclined.
