I felt an urge to leave immediately, but ultimately was very excited and affected by how angry and lurid this movie was.

Very much prepared to changed my mind on this one to love or disdain at any given moment. 

Watched at the Cine-Rama in Arlight Hollywood, at the same time as the cast and crew of ‘Welcome to Marwen’ walked a red carpet strung out in front of the Blue C Sushi.

Fulfilling my annual pilgrimage to the Music Box for this. Cathartic as always, but I didn’t cry bloody murder like I usually do. Unsure if that means I’m in a better or worse place, but it’s most likely because they closed the bar before the gym floor had even opened up!

I thought it was very good, tragic, weird and funny. Won’t lodge any criticisms, because last night when I did that, standing in the lobby saying dumb shit like I “didn’t like how the score was mixed”, Spike Lee walked by.

The inciting incident is that the boy, and I quote, “ate a weird candy.” This movie would not exist save for the fact that the boy, and I quote a character from
the film, “ate a weird candy.” 

The reason that the wife, daughter and son got trapped in the building and Dwayne Johnson had to jump through windows and wind turbines to save them is that the boy, and this is a quote from the movie, “ate a weird candy.”
