Naw....I feel this time around Abrams, Reeves, and the crew will give us something worth coming back to.

Though my biggest concern is that "Blair Witch" factor - how the heck will a cam movie MAKE me want to see it on the big screen?

I remember going with my class to see Blair Witch and absolutely HATING how grimy and "simply normal" it looked and felt, since it didn't feel like a movie at all -just some extended Sci-Fi Channel halloween documentary special.

Now, if this one can manage to look authentic AND be worth the $10 I'm gonna plant to watch it(as in, the scope of the movie is THAT huge that bootlegging it does it no justice), then it's the greatest first-person sci-fi/action movie I've ever seen.

Man, I wonder what the city would look like with a giant radiation spewing monster would look like...even if he was careful buildings would be knocked down....

Potential line from the Tarantino movie....

"Yay.....Godzilla is here to save us again....Go Godzilla....wait, watch it!!! Awwww come on!!! I just rebuilt my house after the last time you stepped on it...you son of a.....Hey Ichiro, the skin is peeling off your arm again....no, your other arm.....no your other arm!!! You forgot to take your ANB pill again didn't you!! Don't you give me that look....I DON'T CARE IF YOUR EYES ARE LOCATED ON THE SIDE'S OF YOUR HEAD I KNOW THAT LOOK!!!! NOW GO TO YOUR ROOM!!! Oh, sorry, I forgot it's under that pile of rubble that used to be our house...DAMN YOU GODZILLA!!!"


Back OT, little more than 2 weeks till Cloverfield. This should be at least, interesting.

Ok....we've been getting people complain that this movie is a reference to 9/11....and this is what I have to say to them... ----

DUH!!!

Cloverfield is SUPPOSED to be enticing, traumatic and troublesome. This ain't no Ben Affleck movie. It is meant to bring back 9/11 memories and remind us of that palpable fear. It is supposed to remind us that we take our liberties for granted too much, that they can be smashed by fear and tossed around by monsters.

Yeah so you look twice at the guy sitting next to you on the bus. Good. Don't you see that this is supposed to be what we do? Look out for our world and one another?

So sorry Cloverfield makes you uncomfortable. (No I'm not.) Cloverfield is an allegory and a lesson. It is the Godzilla for the United States.

This very well may be JJ Abrams and Matt Reeves most important work of their careers. I can tell by your open letter Meredith that you are very superficial, that you go on and on about Jennifer Garner and Violet Affleck, Jennifer Lopez and shallow TV shows. But you get a sniff of something with substance and a true purpose and you hyperventilate. How DARE JJ Abrams make a film that reminds us of 9/11?!

If we don't learn from the past we are doomed to relive it. Shocked

As a country the United States truly needs to go deep, and examine 9/11 and our own souls, we need to confront our fears and make something from them. We can't just afford to move on and forget about it, to skim life on the surface.

This is going to be an important film for precisely the reasons you deride it.
