    I hated this film, not just because it had Tiny Tom in it, but because he doesn’t love her. At most, he really likes hanging out with the kid, but it’s just a relationship of convenience. And she falls for it.

    That’s a rather brilliant strategy. Apple could simple buy a small township. Must be cheaper than all of the legal stuff.
