I See Cloverfield
So, I saw the movie Cloverfield tonight. Sort of like Godzilla but with the cast of The OC. This review, which was written before the reviewers had ever seen the movie, was stunningly accurate:
how much you enjoy Cloverfield will probably wholly depend on how detestable we find the film's characters. And since they all appear to be twentysomethings with the financial means to afford gigantic loft apartments in attractive Manhattan neighborhoods, we suspect it will be our favorite film of 2008.
Actually, the best reason to see Cloverfield was to watch this teaser trailer:
That this was the highlight of the movie reminds me how back in 1999, there were sold-out showings on opening night to see the execrable Wing Commander because we wanted to see this trailer.

I just saw it tonight (away from home on business in Northern NJ yet again).
Easily one of the most wonderful movies ever made. So horrifically bad that it was simply awesome.
I can't say enough about it.

That is one of the pithiest descriptions of Cloverfield I've yet read.
