THE HAPPENING

I JUST WROTE A COMMENTARY ON THE MOVIE, "88 MINUTES,"
A MOVIE I HAVE NOT SEEN YET.

MY POINT WAS THAT SUCH A MOVIE WITH A FAR OUT PREMISE WILL RARELY BE SUCCESSFUL, BECAUSE THEY FAIL TO CARRY THE STORY TO A LOGICAL CONCLUSION -- THEY END UP BLAMING SANTA CLAUS FOR THE CRIME OR HAVE AN EVIL TWIN BROTHER, SPIRITED AWAY AT BIRTH, 25 YEARS AGO, WHO IS THE VILLAIN - THE FILM JUST COLLAPSES ON ITSELF.

NOW, "THE HAPPENING," LIKE "88 MINUTES," HAS A GREAT TRAILER AND A WONDERFUL PREMISE -- I WAS GOING OUT THE DOOR TO SEE IT, BUT NOW, I THINK I WILL RELAX AND LET THE GENERAL PUBLIC TELL ME IF THE MOVIE IS WORTHWHILE.
THE PUBLIC WOULD TALK / RAVE ABOUT SUCH A STRONG STORY LINE, IF IT WAS WORKING.

SO. I WILL JUST BE PATIENT AND GIVE THE "DRUM" 48 HOURS TO SEND OUT THE HIT OR MISS MESSAGE.
