Hard Candy

Ok, so I went to see the movie Hard Candy today. I wasnt sure what to expect, what little I read suggested that it would be some sort of thriller, but then as I talked to the people I was going with, I came under the impression that it would be somewhat Tarintino-esque. Gladly, this was not so.

It was, instead treated to a brilliant psychological thriller. I'm too tired to get into details right now, but it was magnificently acted, well written and brilliantly filmed. It challenged many of the preconceptions I (and I believe most of society) held about a certain type of lawbreaker. I may get into more later, but I don't want to spoil anything. Needless to say, well worth it, though as a theater employee, I do feel a bit treacherous going to another theater.

This was also the first time that I have been out with her since the little downwards spiral she induced a couple of weeks back. I don't know where we are right now, nor for that matter, where I am right now. I'm past the point of being hugely concerned, and I feel like my skin has thickened somewhat. However, there are so many other factors that lie dangerously close to breaking surface, that I feel my delicate equilibrium could be unbalanced at any time. Regardless, I guess all I can do is savour in this brief moment of respite, and brace myself for the eventual emotional downfall that will more than likely take place eventually. However, for now its not bothering me, which is good, I need sleep.
