Subject: Something I noticed ('3-T-T')

When Oscar picks up the tuna melt at that restaurant (the first time, after the art showing), it's not Matthew's hands. Now, I wonder, was this because the director/producer/whoever didn't want to show his missing fingertip that prominantly on camera? Or is it maybe because Matthew felt uncomfortable about it?

I know when I go to the pool, I do not have a water proof prosthesis to wear, so I am noticeably 'lopsided', and I am incredibly self conscious about it.

For those reading this who don't know, I am missing my left breast. Well, actually, I know where it is, so technically, it's not missing, it's just no longer attached to my body. Sorry, bad inside/family joke.

Anyway... I always feel really self conscious, to the point where I even wear a t-shirt over top of my suit, even when in the water. So, I guess it's possible that Matthew himself felt awkward about it, but, if it was the director/etc, etc... I kinda think that's, well, wrong.

His missing fingertip detracts nothing from his abilities or appeal, and to use a hand double kind of implies that it's something that needs to be hidden away.

If it was Matthew's decision, then, well, I can relate. If it was someone else's decision, then I think that it is THAT mentality that makes people like me WANT to hide away our imperfections!

Ok, me and my freakin' soap box, huh? I'll shut up now.
