Points for having Pattinson star in another delightfully weird picture.

Really well done.

My dad and I watched the very first public showing of this movie, at the Cadillac Palace Theatre in Chicago. We were lucky to have a friend who gave us tickets they won in a charity auction.
Two years before that, my sister and I were in a warmly lit office building in downtown Chicago.…
