I didn't mind it. Rob tried his best to make us laugh.
the fact that he tried to make the best out of the end of everything made me give a chuckle.

i read a lot about this and the websites created because of the ARG (im a huge fan of ARGs anyway) and i have a loose grasp of what this movie is supposed to be about. it seems pretty neat, and the websites are kind of creepy actually in a weird way. you can find links to all of them if you look up cloverfield on wikipedia.

theres 4 dif bootlegs on http://grabngovideo.com/ if anyone on here wants to watch it, i havent checked the quality yet because i have to go to work in like a half hour so i dont have time.

I saw it. It was OK. Not great, but OK. The camera made me kind of dizzy and the first 30 minutes or so were boring. The monster had no name and no backstory. It just appeared in New York. Other than that, yeah, it's worth seeing.

I cried at the end. Sad

See, I'm oddly placated with Cloverfield. I don't know how I'd do it differently, except maybe write the movie with more realistic characters who just spend most of the time freaking their shit out because A GIGANTIC FUCKING BOMB-RESISTANT, BUILDING-SMASHING, CRAB-DROPPING, GIL-HEADED MONSTER is attacking Manhattan.

Just saw this one tonight, and I really liked it. The hand-held footage style makes me a little queasy after a while, what with all the jumping and bumping, but I would go so far as to say that it's the best kaiju picture I've seen. Production- and art-wise, that is, and not necessarily in sheer entertainment value.

Also, fucking stoked for Iron Man.

I don't understand the whole motion sickness thing. I don't get nauseous easily, so I don't know what people are complaining about. I thought Cloverfield was a great, much needed monster movie. It's an idea I've really wanted to see put on screen for a long time.
