I just saw Cloverfield last night. It left me wondering: why New York City? When was the last time a monster attacked Topeka? Or Montreal?

How do you know a monster hasn't attacked Topeka? When was the last time you actually saw evidence of its existence? When did you receive personal correspondence from a resident of Topeka? Food for thought.

If that movie taught me one thing, its that in the event of gigantic monster attack, grab a camcorder! Cause that footage will be blockbuster material after the fact.

The majority of the movie served to prove one of the fundamental truths about heterosexual men: If we hit that once, we will stop at nothing for a second go.

Neither sleet, nor snow, nor gigantic amorphous monster attack can dull our resolve!

[cygnettes]

Really?

[thatrapscallion]

Well, that latter bit has yet to be officially tested, but it works in theory.

We'll all buckle down to field calls from our old flings when the gigantic amorphous monster arrives, then.

Do you think he would have gone back to save Beth if they'd never had sex?

[cygnettes]

Um. Maybe? You know, the thrill of... suspense. And things.

If he just left her, we would complain about how he was a quitter, and the movie wouldn't have been as good. An hour or so shorter, as well.
