SPOILER ALERT!!! If you are not reading or planning to read Bel Ami book or script, then do not read this post or the comments. We are reading Bel Ami together and I want everyone to feel free to discuss openly. You should join us if you haven’t already!
On to talk about chapters 4 – 6…
Man, someone decided to get all cocky pants. “Oh look at me. I wrote an article. I’m super important.” ICK!
First off, Mr. Duroy, you didn’t write shit. Secondly, really? Really? You run around all day gloating and totes forgot that you had to write another one, cause shocker, that’s how journalism works. Man, he kinda comes off douchey, huh?
I fail to feel sorry for him anymore at this point, because its clear he thought his friend was going to do everything for him. And then once Forestier kind of sets him in place, Saint-Potin just makes everything Forestier said seem unnecessary. He gives Duroy some insight to the politics of the world, which paints kind of an interesting picture. And when he talks about Foriester’s wife and the good fortune he had to marry him, it once again confirms my thoughts that he does much more for Foriester then he lets on. And then the whole idea of drawing a salary before he actually does any work.. wow. Saint-Potin knew how to work the system and was setting up Duroy to go down a really bad path.
Then when Duroy fails to get his next article written and shows up to see Madame Forestier again for help, he gets kicked to the curb. At first, I was like, “Hell yeah. That’s what you get.” But then I think the main reason he got the boot was because the wife was writing for the husband and Forestier probably did not want him to see that. Poor Duroy, he really did need that help too, cause his articles were no good. I think it’s funny he got knocked down a few rungs on that.
I do like how the character does seem to get serious and do some work, but then he hits that plateau a lot of journalists hit, which is I’m sure what begins the whole scenario for the book. Yeah me. I figured out the plot of the book. Woot. He isn’t climbing the social ladder fast enough, so he realizes that maybe visiting with the ladies will work out for him.
So he starts hanging out with Madame de Maralle, who he met at the first party. And then not only he is good company, but he is all adorable around the little girl. And if Duroy is looking like Rob, I know the de Maralle’s ovaries probably exploded. I mean, watching the two play tag? Wow, please PLEASE let me see that on the big screen! I’ll call shenanigans on the writers. #trust
The dinner was a little weird, and I’m pretty sure Duroy did not leave the customary 15% when he paid the bill. Oh, and the next day, when Duroy says “I will worship you.” That will be a panty poofing moment for sure.

Robler Keeps Us Going as We Count Down the Days!
The countdown continues….
I’m not too sure how much more of this I can handle before March 12, 35 more days of my inpatient waiting and oogling over ever little screen shot and bit of news that comes out about Remember Me. And, lookie, lookie… more screen shots from the movie. I am loving all the different Rob looks as well! Gah, still dying over here.
Why do they look so angry? Is it because Robler refuses to help her get the bike off the wall? Maybe she’s pissed that it’s March and the damn Christmas lights are still up? Or maybe they are both thinking about the time they took their collie to the State Fair to get old timey pictures done? We will never know (at least not until March 12).
I got my hands in my pockets. You got your hands in your pockets. We are two cool dudes with hands in our pockets. What’s next?
I know Robler! I, too, do not believe this little girl is old enough to be tackling Greek myths. Have you read those things? Oh, no wait… Little Ruby is trying to figure out what the hell is up with Robler’s sweatshirt, cause it is fugly. It does look soft though…
Dude, you know chicks dig musicians, right? I mean, seriously…. those veins in your arms are about to burst.
I want to comment on the fact that Rob missed the last button on the shirt, or the fact that he is carrying a murse, or even how disgusting the apartment walls seem to be. But instead, I am distracted by some weird ass poster. What the hell is that?!?
And the countdown continues….
Super awesome source for the pics!
