Cloverfield

[Chilli Bob]

I just got home from seeing Cloverfield, and just want to say......
BEST...MONSTER...EVER!!

Did anyone else think so?

I know this has nothing to do with Ubuntu, I just love monster flicks.

Wow. Where do you live that you got to sneak peek it on Wednesday?

Looks like it got good reviews, but I'm always skeptical about films that generate lots of hype. They're setting the "expectations" bar pretty high, so some folks may roll in expecting too much, and not be gratified with anything they see.

PS:

Movie industry's coming out with some lame stuff lately. I think Cloverfield and Batman are the only movies I was really looking forward to in a long time. You know things are bad when "The Bucket List" is the main attraction at the local theatre, tying up 2 to 3 screens.

I'm in Australia, so it's actually Thursday night here. Without giving spoilers, I'd say go see this at the cinema. It may not be for everyone, but it's a new take on the monster movie, and certainly not the let-down I was expecting. It's not what I would call a "Hollywood" film.

A Hollywood film is a film produced by a Hollywood studio; it's not some subjective label that one can throw around willy-nilly.

At any rate, I'm looking forward to seeing this one.

Yeh, what was the point...
this movie looked like a bad godzilla ripoff from the start.

No, actually "Hollywood" has taken on a new meaning these days...IE: mainstream crap / switch-brain-off movie. Dude, keep up with the times.

I'll go see it... probably wait for it to come out on DVD tho.

Looks like either a Godzilla movie, or some sort of Cthulhu'ish creature.


Can someone fill me in on one thing tho.
Is the movie the same style as the commercials, with the crappy camera work reminiscent of Blair Witch or is that just some gimmick to get the word out?

Well, as mentioned above it does have both literal and subjective meanings. I thought I made the meaning clear by putting it in quotes.

Anyhoo, to answer Chipter, yes, it is all hand held camera, much like Blair Witch. I didn't find it as bad as the shakey-cam in Bourne Supremecy though.
