Grape Throwing Scene M&Ms? Grapes? Raisins? How did you/the audience feel or react to the akward grape throwing scene?
And were you expecting it?

well, they looked too small to be strawberries, but thats not the point.
It just seemed a little akward.

Think of it as a playful thing that friends do. My friend Jeff and I do it all the time, its just plain fun.
However if guys do it, unless it's a competition, is a little wierd, same with girls, just awkward.
Had Beth and Rob not known each other and hooked up that scene would have been brutally awkward, but because they are best friends it just proved that just because they slept together doesn't mean that they can't still be friends.
This is just a girls POV.

I think it was just to give the characters some life.
This has to be a joke though. People are picking every single scene from the movie apart, not everything meant something! The bible had less to it then people think this movie has.

LOL...I was thinking the same thing.
Rob and Beth are friends...and friends sometimes do silly things like that...what the hell is awkward about it.
Oops...I just typed some words on this message board...that was awkward.

Blueberries.
It was a bowl of fruit in front of her. Strawberries and blueberries. It's a common combination. Very much in line with the very effete feminine style of Beth.

i really thinking it was very natural and seemed so non-scripted.
it was more of a leeway scene to them discussing about coney island. which we all know was the major scene of the mysterious falling object. so again, it is kinda like "something" instead of just a relationship scene.

here me out here me out
they wake up throw grapes, go coney island, and he asks her how her day was background you see the companies satellite fall from space
when jason and lily decided to film the party they filmed over the coney island portion that is why when whomever found the camera in central park looked at the recording they they saw wake up throw grapes, night of monster attack, and he asks her how her day was in background you see the companies satellite fall from space.
that is also why Rob was so upset that they didnt put a new tape in because he realized they filmed over coney island. scene hold no significant value to the mystery behind anything in the movie[/spoiler]

i think it is pretty significant, as it shows something is out there. when its JJ Abrams- everything means something.
