"Cloverfield"

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

    as a new yorker who was in manhattan that day

    I have to say I saw the building-sized banner on the side of MSG on my way to work yesterday and the only two words that popped into my head, reflexively, were:

    "f#ck you"

    I don't care if it is good sci fi (which I'm betting it probably isn't, good sci fi makes us think). I don't plan on seeing the movie because it will probably upset me for no good reason.

    ps: nobody cares about Cleveland, get over it.
