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)

John Edwards is the essence of petty equivocation. He's a phony. Obama didn't provide the right kind of oral pleasuring so he didn't endorse him, this 3.28 John Heilemann New York article reports. He's a slinky performance artist who likes power and money, y'all. The mere sound of that awful buttery drawl gives me the willies. He's selling vacuum cleaners.

John Edwards, to me, looks exactly like a Collegiate Basketball Coach at a Mid-Major School somewhere in the Southwest.

Maybe Edwards is waiting until after the Pennsylvania primary to come out as a Hillary supporter.

Yup, he's a politician. Like it or not, Obama is the same. And so are the Clintons, and so are the Republicans. Why some continue to idolize these people is beyond me.

Obama and Edwards are practically the same person, incidentally, when it comes to policy. They are much closer than any other two politicians who have been in this race.

Yeah, imagine that- a politician being phony. That's almost as big a shocker as a dishonest lawyer or a cranky film journalist.

Obama obviously made a tactical error by refusing to brown-nose Edwards, but it's good to see that he (Barack) wasn't afraid to take on the Edwardses. I've always consider them Clintonian phonies, and I suspect Obama agrees.

John Edwards is doing the wise thing by waiting until the convention, or at least June, where he can be part of the behind the scenes Heavy-Hitter action to get her to concede. He's doing what he should be doing.

Anyone who likes Obama is cool and anyone who doesn't is stupid and like, a total un-cool retarded person!

I am glad to know I am not the only person who finds Edwards creepy. Everything about the guy seems disingenuous to me. And there is nothing worse to me that greedy liberals. Edwards is a slip-and-fall lawyer who hit the jackpot.
