This is a turd of a movie. With no exceptions every character is a horrible d-bag with controlled stubble and until it happened I was praying for the monster to come and kill them all. Then the monster comes and it's all awkward and dumb and hardly ever on screen.
I generally appreciate a horror movie if it just has something cool or badass going on, but there's nothing from either category in Cloverfield. There's one cool moment where a head explodes but it's not enough. That was the only real shade of cause-and-effect in the movie, too. The mythology never gets a chance to develop.
Another thing that sucks: the shaky-camcorder format is painful. The only reason to watch the whole thing is the expectation that it will suddenly stop sucking and live up to the hype. I gave this one star on Netflix because that's the lowest possible. Did you guys see this?
Also I'm coming to town this coming weekend so hopefully we can all go to Wendy's.

I think Dinner Club should be postponed until Saturday night when we can all go to wendy's and eat the hell out of some nuggets, frosties, and JBCBs.
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, nuggets.
Actually I'm taking Friday off and should be arriving late Thursday night.
Also are nuggets off the dollar menu everywhere or just at the crappy Wendy's I've been to lately?
Wendy's Nuggets are fantastic. Cloverfield is fantastic!!!
Listen Sam, I'm a busy man and can't be expected to make a fuss over all of your bi-weekly visits.
Also, I'm totally down for some Wendy's. Finally a dinner club that I can afford.
BTW. Who the fuck is Matthew??
Judging by the content and timing of my post, I'm going to say I was a little drunk and logged in under my new gmail account.
