"Cloverfield"

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

    Would you like a kleenex?

    When you were watching Godzilla tear through Tokeyo when you were a kid, did you get into a tizzy wondering whether Hiroshima was turned into an amusement park ride?

    It's a monster movie, just enjoy it on that level, monsters tear shit up, that's what they're supposed to do.

    Spoiler...By the way, when Watchmen comes out, and a chunk of New York City is blown up in that movie, please refrain from all the hand wringing about 9/11, it's based on a 20 year old graphic novel.
