Of the multitudes of stories about how people are getting queasy watching this film, this one has my favorite headline:

Monster-ful ‘Cloverfield’ does barf-o box office

I seriously doubt that anyone would get sick watching it on a smaller screen.

And the more I think about it, the more I liked the ambiguity in the movie:



Etc. etc. I like how it makes you come up with your own theories.

One thing though that I thought was odd was how the monster, while ginormous, was always like RIGHT NEAR where our main characters were. I mean, Manhattan is small, but not THAT small.

My roommate said that if you plot out on a map the path of the creature and our main characters, they were just going in a straight line the whole time, but I dunno about that. It seemed too coincidental that they were constantly running into it.



I really want to see that movie again....

I can't watch people's home movies, or play first person shooters, on ANY size screen without getting sick. I will never be able to watch this movie.

Wow that IS odd. I would think that because the small screen isn't giving an illusion that the entire room around you is moving, then you'd be okay. I guess you're just one of the hyper sensitive ones. If you'd like, we can re-create the movie for you at the next LoT party using Not Afraid's animals.

"Roar Thurston, roar boy! Roar!"

*Thurston yawns* *Gemini Cricket runs in terror to find his girlfriend*

"Good boy!" ;)

I must warn you, I'm in SAG.

:D

Aaah yes, the cure for homosexuality.

Viagra will help with that.

Chins up!

The movie had the fifth-biggest ever second weekend drop in box-office (after having the biggest January opening ever).


Of course, just about everybody who wanted to see it did so on opening weekend, explaining the above numbers. Perhaps word of mouth wasn't so great ... but since the film only cost $25 Million to produce (and another reported $25 Mill to market), it's already a huge profit-maker.
