Dont judge a book by its movie

I just noticed during the levitating scene, the crabs moves his claws up like a conductor and Amanda and Tom rose up to the ceiling. The when they wanted to come down, the crab lowered his claws and eventually lets them both come down. I also thought I saw the crab's claws move when she was stirring the flowers into that sauce she made that produced all the fog. Are we to believe that the crab is controlling Amanda's movements through magic and that is why she can suddenly cook well?

June made the point that Amanda wears that gold tank top twice in the movie, but it is actually just poor editing. She put her hair in braids at the end of the first day. The sequence later when she appears in the gold tank top again, her hair is still in braids and she is baking those pastries that she takes to him at the store. Looks like the editors just spliced the footage in later. Another odd editing choice came in the beginning. When Gene aka Dan Akroyd pops up at the other side of the market and Amanda says something like, were you here before, he makes a comment about the other chef being nasty or rude. Anyway, I think there was a scene that set up the chef character more but was later cut out. Very shitty editing in this movie.

Amanda's friend Nolan who introduces the belt theory is played by Larry Gilliard Jr. Larry also portrayed D'Angelo Barksdale on The Wire. D'Angelo was murdered with a belt while in prison. Coincidence? I think not!
