Thoughts on Cloverfield…

Tuesday, January 22nd, 2008

Initial thought: BAD ASS!

This movie really owned up to the hype. The monster was awesome, tore shit up, wrecked Manhatten, and wasn’t Godzilla like many had speculated.

The way this movie was shot, although very much like the Blair Witch Project, was great. I overheard many people saying they felt sick to their stocach after watching it. AWESOME! Make people sick without the use of gore. As much as the camera was all over the place, it worked brilliantly to deliver the effect that director Matt Reeves aimed to acheive. Chaos!

Unlike most movies today, this movie was not intended to have your typical plot. This was basically a fake documentary of the lives of a few as terror raged through New York City. As the credits roled, I overheard many screaming ”That’s it?” and ”What the hell?” All I could do was smile in the joy that people are still clueless to a movie that doesn’t follow a basic formula. It was hilarious seeing them upset, confused and enraged.

Be sure to see this movie, and if you’ve already done so, drop me a comment and let me know your thoughts. I’ve azlready done so much work digging up more information on this story, it is quite ridiculous that I now know the origins of this creature.

Bravo, JJ!

“Drugs are bad, mmkay.”

After a long night of gaming, people may hallucinate. Take Guitar Hero for example. After hours of playing and your eyes becoming used to little circles moving down a fret board. So now, when you are done playing, the room seems to be moving. It’s pretty fucking exciting to me because it is the closest thing I’ve ever had to actually taking acid or any similar drug.

Tonight, my friend and I played Dead Rising for a few hours. For those that have no clue, it’s a game where you run around a zombie infested mall saving people and using anything and everything to kill the undead. I highly enjoy this but I had no idea what this zombie killing video game could do to my friend.

He said it was time for him to leave and gathered his keys and hat and made his way to the door. As he walked out the door, he turned around and quickly blocked the door so the cat couldn’t get out.

I do not have a cat.

It’s been a bit but…

Alright, so I’ve been slacking on getting a good set of blogs going on a regular basis. My bad. Face it, we all had shit going on with the holidays and the new year.

Well for one thing, I had quite the ridiculous New Year’s Eve. My kidney’s were hurting for about the next three days and I woke up with a huge cut down my entire left arm. No clue how it happened. I’d like to think I fought nine people and that’s all the damage I received.

At the end of January I have big plans. I’m going to make my first trip across these great United States. My grandfather needs to bring his pickup truck from his home in Las Vegas to his new home in Florida and I offered to take the drive.

Hopefully I’ll stop in some strange bars, meet some cool people, see the world’s largest ball of yarn or something. Whichever happens, I’ll have my camera with me and attempt to get online to post shit as often as possible.
