"Cloverfield"

Do we really need the horror of 9/11 to be repackaged and presented to us as an amusement-park ride?

    @Nulla Sallus

    Good point about commercials. I think I'll wait until it's on television because the commercials will add a lot of content to the experience. Hopefully ABC will show it instead of LOST one night.

    That scheherezade thing thing went sour real fast JJ.

    Until I see Cloverfield on the tube, I am keeping the image of the monster as a large polar bear with a noxious black cloud emanating from its nether regions.

    Sometimes these screenplays are not about an event or a thing, but they are about the author and/or director revealing their innermost selves.

    TAKE THAT!, MS LIBERTY!!!
