    "Cloverfield" takes the trauma of 9/11 and turns it into just another random spectacle

    Well duh - 9/11 (or 11/9 in the civilised world) is just another random spectacle.

    Self absorbed Americans. Way to many of them. Never even considered that Cloverfield was related to 9/11 until yet again some critic had to make it all about their own obessions all over again.
