  NYC in ruins, again...

  I'm gonna say this again, because I mentioned the same thing in a post about Boston and how they are so boo-hoo about not having something to NOT like about their baseball team (and probably their football team, a few weeks from now).

  Fuckin' get over it...

  NYC is the cultural and metropolitan center of the universe for the United States. LA had it for a while, but they've lost it again (think of Earthquake, Volcano, and those "other" disaster movies)...and they rightfully lost it, because NYC is the shit! It is THE city of the U.S., and it always will be...

  But for you bitch-n-moan folks that keep asking the rest of us to bow in reverence to 9/11 by not making certain kinds of films because that 9/11 wound hasn't healed yet...Well, tough-shit, I sez...if you are going to wear that mantle of being the greatest city in America (and the World), then you need to be able to take your lumps like a real person...and a mere disaster/sci-fi film shouldn't be that delicate to your sense, should it?

  So it's okay for the kids to ask "Is it the terrorists" in War of the Worlds...but it's not okay to see Cthulu or some big walking hermit crab destroying the Big Apple? Is that what you NYCers that hate this film are saying? Because it's a crock of shit if that plays any part of your arguement against this film...Come off it guys!

  For you Cloverfield non-haters, go read the review on the Onion AV Club...it's much more balanced, something I can't expect from Stephanie Z. in her reviews...
