Brandon, no way Michelle's thumb is that floppy.

It's little Ennis, and you don't have to go to slo-mo to catch a glimpse of his dispirited debut, just watch the center of the screen--

I tell you what, I watched that scene about 10 times, regular time and 1/8 time and I never once saw it. I saw him reach down as if to grab it, but I never saw him actually grab anything.
...then you ask me about Mexico and tell me you'll kill me for needing somethin' I don't hardly never get.

I tried to use the slow motion feature, but nothing happens when I push the button called 'slow' on the remote.... :-\

"dispirited debut"  LOL

On my DVD counter, it's at 1:18:28.

Update: I just realized that it's actual debut was going off the cliff.

Hmmm, after many rewindings, I think I'm in the "thumb" camp, but I think it might be Ennis's thumb, not Alma's.  If it's actually Little Ennis, then he certainly is little, and he seems to be sporting a manicure.  ;D

LOL! I don't have a DVD, though for what its worth I did keep as sharp an eye out as possible last time I was in the theater (having been alerted by some Tremblayan to the possibility) and didn't see nuthin. Anyway, it doesn't make sense in any case. Yes, I realize these are two people who will go on to have a child together, but why on earth would they shoot a scene wearing any less clothing than is required for the scene itself?
