Man
So on the way to the movie theater, what should I pull up behind but one of the Google Street View camera cars! Of all the days to forget my cell phone.
And then I saw Cloverfield! It was pretty neat, overall; none of the character interaction was anywhere near as captivating as The Blair Witch Project, but neither was it particularly odious, and it was still fun to see a generic city-blows-up monster movie spun through a home-movie gimmick. Also, I knocked off a few bucks by seeing the matinee, which is fair enough for a movie that seems to skip its last reel.
Edit: Also, even more than most recent disaster movies, the vast majority of the imagery in the movie owes its existence to 9/11 (skyscrapers crumbling, people running through streets, ducking away from dust clouds, racing through stairwells), and yet no one seems to be really giving a crap. It must no longer be Too Soon! This is surely good news for Uwe Boll.
