IDEK. I sometimes (often) don't actually know what to do with emotions.

Warrior was pretty amazing. I don't think I can articulate my reaction well enough to do it justice. The basic plot is extremely predictable and the characters are insanely cliched, but. THERE IS SO MUCH EMOTION IN IT. I'm not usually very affected by so-called emotional movies, and there may have been just the right combination of things to get to me in particular, but I'm having an unexpectedly strong reaction to it. My brow is furrowed and I can't make it stop. I just want to sit in the dark outside and smoke five million cigarettes or something.

I don't think I've had this kind of personal reaction to a movie since Grave of the Fireflies; it's not quite in the same league, but it hits pretty close for me. And the only other movie that made me want to smoke five million cigarettes and sit in the dark was Hard Core Logo.

I was with Liz, Juliet and Cathy, but Liz & Juliet had to run home right after the movie so we all split. I'd intended to go with Liz & Juliet but I ended up going home by myself instead and-- I think that may have been for the best; I started feeling sort of... like, my stomach started roiling and I was tearing up on the train home.

I dunno, guys. I am feeling some strong disbelief at myself right now, too.

I don't know if there will be a fandom for this movie, or if some of it will be pulled into Inception fandom, but... IDEK, I was going to say I don't think I'd be able to read anything for it, but that's not true. I'm drawn to read things that make me hurt.

movies:warrior, actor:tharrrd, wtf
