Cloverfield [BLU-RAY] (Paramount Home Entertainment, 6.3.2008) Disguised under deliberately goofy, yet deliciously edible-sounding, aliases such as Cheese and Slusho, Matt Reeves' Cloverfield was produced and rushed into theaters under an equally appetizing shroud of secrecy. From last year's incredibly elusive Super Bowl ad to the film's viral marketing campaign, Cloverfield had everybody scratching their heads and drooling in anticipation. Aside from the as-yet untitled title and the Blair Witch-ian visual style, the film's biggest appeal was the enigmatic creature who was last (un)seen hurling the decapitated head of the Statue of Liberty onto the crowded streets of New York City. All we knew about the mysterious beast was that it was big and angry. Now that the highy-anticipated project has come and gone, one question has fortunately been answered: Cloverfield was a major success. (continued)

Power Down

PageSix.com employed 18 editorial and support staffers? That's a lot of people, given what that site does. Or did, I should say. Nikki Finke is reporting that the 24/7 operation is shutting down, more or less because PageSix.com can't compete with TMZ.com. The print edition in the New York Post as well as its web page will continue, but that's all she wrote for most of the 18.

Can you imagine what the energy in that office was like? It probably made the courtroom scene in IDIOCRACY look like the signing of the Declaration of Independence.

TMZ might be the worst of the worst, but those gossip sites/shows are wretched. Don't tell anyone that I stumble by and stop to watch what someone may be doing at any given time. Where's that Burbon?!

These youtube videos are very powerful. Worse than Dukakis in a Tank Ads. Don't shot the messenger. I accessed this through the front page online of the LATimes.

The second video is done by a person that subscribes to "Whiteworld444" and all their videos are about the evils of black people. Todd, I hope your dinner gives you the shits.

This is from another blog but so well stated. Over and Done the boy is cooked.

Obama's edge will disappear. People have begun to realize that when a person, in this case Obama, spends 20 years of listening to racist rants, that that person becomes so influenced by these rants. Obama, if he wins the primary, will lose in the general because of his 20 year association with Wright as well as his vindictive desire to suppress the votes of Florida and Michigan. If Obama gains the nomination because he succeeds in disinfranchisng these voters, then these same voters will support McCain in the general election. If the Dems won't hear their voices, then the Republicans will be more than happy to do so.
