MUSIC CHATTER AND MATTER

So I saw Cloverfield...

Posted about 1 year ago
And it was really cool! It's the "Blair Witch," meets, "Godzilla," with a touch of the "Mist." The Monster is friken big! Fricken Ugly! Frickin angery! It's just a big fricken monster with some other monsters on it. The special effects are just killer! Slows down at parts, but when picks it it picks up! If you want to see a great monster flick, see this one!From a scale of 1-10 bass licks I'd give it 8 bass licks, no 9 yup sure, nope wait! Back to 8. Later Gators...

  2. amber says I guess at the end you hear radio static and some whispering and if you play the whisper back it says "it's still alive" I smell a *sequel* !

  3. Misstee says are you kidding? 2 more sequels are already in the process of being written(well not officially since the WGA strike is still in effect)

    Enjoyed seeing the flick over the weekend but was amazed that the theater has three hours between showtimes. The movie is 84 minutes long! That's shorter than most animated features from Disney! Figured that they have more screenings. My friend got a headache just like she did at "The Blair Witch". There was a warning on the movie poster that the theater put up today explaining that a movie goer may get dizzy or sick due to the hand-held nature of the film. *lol

  5. hawaiianpunch says Just an awesome experience. And if that's true about the static at the end, I can see where that would lead. There is one survivor among the friends and it's never clear whether the monster gets it in the end or not. I'd rather not see a sequel and leave the end to our collective imaginations, but seeing as this is a big movie, I can see the Hollywood suits drooling already at the prospects.

  7. kat3260 says I saw Cloverfield on Sunday...I enjoyed it but boy did it make me nauseous. Everyone keeps telling me about the monster dropping down into the water during that last little bit at Coney Island, but my head was spinning too much at that point :O) 6 Bass licks for me...

  9. kat3260 says I think the 6 basslick rating is pretty high considering how queasy I felt at the end hehe. Don't get me wrong - I thought it was a good movie, surprisingly believable. It's even more impressive considering they only spent about 30 mil to make it.

  10. RGM says 30 mil! Wow thats a lot of bites per $ to record on that camcord lol... ;)

  11. Scotch says It still amazes me that 30 Mil is considered chump change to make a movie these days. It seems that after Titanic all hell broke loose. ;)

  12. RGM says I think Spike made his first film for about 25K, before the Titanic, and I thought that was a lot at the time for a low buget film. That's an interesting point Scotch, must have spent the money mostly on catering lol.

  13. Scotch says hehe Since there aren't any big-name actors that I saw, I'll have to go with effects are the cause. $25K is not all that cheap for an indie film, even in the 80s. That must've been for his thesis film, because his first feature film cost $175K to make. FWIW, Robert Rodriguez - my film hero - made El Mariachi for ~$7K*, and it vaulted him to near-stardom. *Well, initially - Columbia did some work on it to make it more approachable for English-speaking audiences, and /that/ cost several hundred thousand dollars.

  14. RGM says I heard that about Robert Rodriguez, he also filmed "Once Upon A Time In Mexico," with a digital camera on his own.
