"Cloverfield"

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

    Attack another city

    "Stop Monsters, Aliens, terrorists, etc. attacking NY!! Find some other city . How about Clevelend, Ohio ?"

    How dare you, sir? Does the game 'Rampage' not ring a bell? For almost a whole decade from 1985 to 1995, the working class midwest and north central was savaged .... cities like Peoria, Albany, Plano, Akron... demolished daily, multiple times often, by a giant Werewolf, a giant Lizard, and a sort of king kong.

    Some said they were certain that Americans were responsible to begin with, since the pollution we craved for our extravagent lifestyes and huge arcade games could well have been responsible for the creation of these monsters; the lizard was the result of a woman's DNA being altered by swimming in a toxic lake!

    So take your eastern big city, smug, coastal-elite attitude back to wherever you are really from (White Plains? Stamford?) and recognise the suffering that we all are a part of.

    But... don't watch this movie. It looks stupid.
