Now then, here's a Cloverfield spoiler in case you've been living under a rock and aren't yet aware that the thing destroying Manhattan is not of this earth.
Just kidding! That picture is actually a Rosiemonster, one of the most dangerous species of Sub-Saharan Africa. What I'm really trying to say is that Cloverfield was overflowing with hype. Let's give J.J. Abrams some credit here, though. He turned a 84 minute home video into the weekend's top movie simply by withholding some vital information. Like, for example, WHAT IN THE WORLD MADE THE STATUE OF LIBERTY'S HEAD EXPLODE? FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, WHAT WAS IT??
Turns out it was an alien. Or something. We're never really told. And then everyone dies. This would normally be a shame, but the entire cast(besides the uggo controlling the camera) seemed to be pulled out of an A&F catalog and pretty much had the kind of acting chops you'd expect from that savvy ensemble. After everyone dies, the movie ends, and apparently the alien now rules New York City.
I just saved you 8 bucks.

She's no Susan Hopkins
Oh man. I remember when I was helping her take storm windows off in Harry's room, and the force she was exerting caused her to shoot out a HUGE fart. We both knew that it happened, but she didn't want to admit it, and I didn't want to say "Hey Suz, did you just tear ass?" so we just continued working in the polluted air. One of the most uncomfortable situations I've ever been in.
