I've only seen it the once, but I really liked it. My friend called it "infuriatingly terrific."
I'm fairly certain I said no interruptions.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I liked Donnie Darko the first time I saw it but it gets worse every time I rewatch it.
I think Back to the Future is fun but not a great film and certainly not #1 anything.
I've never seen Timecrimes.
Idiocracy is terrible!
12 Monkeys was a mess but I heard the short film it's based on was good.

I love 12 Monkeys, and La Jetee was all right.
Timecrimes sounds cool.
I love Back to the Future.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
So Joe's been filming a thing for his class over the past week or so and they went to one of his co-filmer's apartment to shoot. Joe noticed that he had a "Cloverfield" movie poster framed on his wall. They had to move it to keep it out of the shot and the guy says, "Be very careful!" Joe says, "Heh. Not like it was a good movie." The guy gasped and said, "If you didn't like it, then you didn't watch it enough or understand it." Joe just kind of gaped at him.
Later they were talking other movies and somehow Bladerunner came up. Same guys says, "I didn't like that movie at all. It didn't have much of a story."
The pitfalls of going to film school with kids 10-20 years your junior.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Oh dear.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I love 12 Monkeys, and La Jetee was all right.
Do you hear that? That is the sound of Corwood's ultimate pain disdain.

I thought Cloverfield was great.

I didn't dislike Cloverfield but I have no desire to watch it again. Mostly I'm glad I saw it so I could get the jokes when South Park was invaded by guinea pigs.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Cloverfield mostly bored me. The characters were all too dumb to live and there wasn't even a minimal attempt to get NYC right. I think if it had been a better story I wouldn't have been so thrown by the massive geography and continuity errors, but there really wasn't much else to focus on.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

What you didn't see was when the monster had first attacked a couple of weeks before and just jumbled everything up like a game of Boggle.
