Yeah, East of Eden was just weird, and somewhat bad. What is the deal with the weird twisting fighing/crying/wailing? Nearly all the characters were creepy, from the fawning girlfriend to the perfect do-gooder brother turned hating everything brother, and Dean's character as well was just, well, unlikeably strange. I found it even overwhelmed his good looks (though he's really not my type).
And the writing...if I were in that ferris wheel with the girl I would have climbed out much earlier.
Fun night at the cemetery regardless though.
