So I liked Cloverfield. And while I'm not exactly on a campaign to make everyone agree with me, I sort of want to ratatata about it anyway, so I guess I will.
And monsters are usually the only characters I care about. Eff you, humanthings. EFF.
Nah, they never mention its origins or anything like that. Conversation doesn't usually get away from, "Holy shit, did you see it? It's huge!" And overall, it tends to be treated like an animal; I was kind of hoping they'd imply that it's sentient, but no such luck.
Really and truly, I went for the sake of some awesomeshit monster times. It wasn't really worth it in that sense, but the movie itself won me over well enough that I wasn't in a huff afterwards.
Sexcellence. The where and when doesn't matter much; you just definitely need to see it at some point, because there were two scenes that made me think, "oh hell, blizzardseason would have liked that". XD I'm not sure if I was reminded of something you've written or just your sense of humour. ONLY TIME WILL TELL.
And I must say, it was a fairly jawsome experience overall. Some of that shizz was INTENSE. *dies* But watch out for motion-sickness, ahaha. Sometimes, when everyone's running for their lives, the camera goes absoutely nuts. I think about half the audience started to get a little woozy. XD
I KNOW, what the deuce. Sure, sure, if you just want dumb entertainment, there's no reason to overthink things like Balls Of Fury, or Meet The Spartans. However, I was kind of hoping the crowd would be cool and, while there were enough decent people, the jerks tended to be loudmouths too. Go figure.
I now have a variety of opinions regarding the film, and have decided... I'll probably watch it regardless 'cause I'm good like that. I'm glad you liked it though, that makes me excited, your choice in movies makes my tummy smile. ^.^
I thought there was enough shots of the monster to get an idea of what it looked like. It was all, shot from this direction, and now this one...later on this one. It added up to a full view of the monster if you did some mental puzzle putting together...ing.
And apparently Hasbro is making a toy of it. That will shut people up.
EGGSACTLY. W-we even got a couple of aerial shots, and then a view from directly underneath it. FULL 360, MAN; how can you not process this into a complete visual model? XD
Speaking of models. I'm, uh, not the action-figure-collecting-type (LIES), but you bring glorious news to me. Hooo'man. ♥♥
I guess they need to have it in a huge splash with labelled parts and extreme detail to really get it. There is some picture out there of the Cloverfield monster raping the Statue of Liberty, and it would be awesome if the monster looked anything like the one in the movie.
I'm pretty excited. It will also come with a handfull of the little parasites. ALLEGEDLY.
And I thought I was being all quaint and original when I thought, "RULE 34. MONSTER x STATUE, YEEEEAH." Apparently some faster hand beat me to it, ahahaha. XDDDD
OKAY, those little spawn things? They scared the hell out of me. The monster itself is worth an ohemgee, definitely, but those things skittered. D: When Rob slammed the door in their faces and one almost got through, hissing and clicking, I almost died. It gave me Resident Evil flashbacks. Oy.
P.S.! What sounds good for an epic first battle? Cloverfield monster VS a half-destroyed untransformable Starscream, or a legion of various Batmans? (Wait, Batmen? WAIT.)
Okay, so now I will definitely have to see this and report, whenever it gets to Israel. Expect me in... oh, the next three years or so. :D
Mainly I am joyful! because you rec music, which is always a cause for celebration. Also, getting your critical thinking on; rowr, baby, you look so hot in that movie buff hat. *licks*
Did I hear correctly that someone in Cloverfield has little mouthes for eyes? I hope I'm wrong; it was wicked and original when Neil Gaiman did it, now it's just plagiarism. Also, I am so biased towards the Corinthian it's also disgusting. "Go! Go! EAT THEIR EYEBALLS, COME ON!"
Ahem.
P.S. QUETZALCOATL FOR TERRIBLE MYTH-DISTORTING HOT CHOCOLATE-Y JUSTICE, Y/Y?
I CANNOT WAIT FOR YOUR REACTION. WAITING IN THREE ... TWO ... ONE.
*twiddles thumbs madly*
But, yeah. :D Movies and music are my combined elixir. Sometimes I like to pretend that my tastes for both are discerning, when IN FACT I'm just really good at freaking out over things I enjoy. Someday, someday, we should definitely have an awesome, serious chat about these things, but for now (seeing as how we are both woefully short on time) OHGADILOVEIT will suffice!
I did not notice any mouth-for-eye action going on, fortunately. I did, however, see a really delicious thread of related material on Gurochan a few weeks ago. So much delightful, horrifying art. ♥
Quetalcoatl, yes. It works well for me; I have a weird obsession with that particular mythological beastie these days, and have been cracking my skull open while attempting to design a stylized variation of my own, AND THEREFORE. Bad Quetzalcoatl movie = beautiful therapy. XDDD
And, you know what? There are far too many Berserk AMVs/spoofs/serial doujinshi that we need to produce. WE WILL NEVER HAVE TIME TO GET IT ALL DONE. Therefore, I think it's time we start training angry wild dogs to assist us in our illustration work. That should make us get shit done.
LOL Do you wanna make a Berserk Yaoi doujinsji? I wanna make a bunch of doujinshi. (I'll do a Griffith/Gatsu comic of course.) 6x9 or larger? With bleed? XD
