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)

Lack of a Persuasive Theory

I'm trying to think of a thoughtful, non-prurient reason for running this Alexandra Dupre photo and this link to 20 photos that went up earlier today on the New York Post website, and I can't think of one. I can't even think of a comment. Okay, her nose looks a bit smaller.


All I can add is that I'm contributing in a small way to helping AD cash in on her notoriety, and this, in a sense, is a very American, get-along, go-along thing to do. Which may, in the view of this site's conservative readers, seem to balance out the previous post on a certain capitalistic level.

Prurient reasons or not....thanks! But am I crazy or are most of those the exact same picture?

Is it just me or are there a number of physical similarities between Spitzer's choice of "paid entertainment" and his wife? Not just the brown hair but even in their faces. Same sort of cheeks and chin.

I can't help but wonder how his wife looked when she was younger. How similar might the be then?

I would think that if you're paying for accompaniment you would go for the polar opposite of what is waiting for you at home.

Mumbleboy, you WOULD think that, wouldn't you. But then again, a man who is the governor, and who passes tough prostitution laws (including for the johns), WHILE he's been paying for these services numerous times... is not someone who is really thinking clearly. Or, I'd say, at all.

I would not say "conservative" readers, but those who have somehow swallowed the neocon line of the last 7 years that "they hate us for our freedoms."

On a positive note, I have heard that this lady has not only brought down a vile politician, but has also managed 2 million downloads of her two songs at 98 cents a pop where 70% of the profits go directly to her.

Congratulations Ashley, you have made my year!

I think she's smokin' hot, and never noticed a damn thing wrong with her nose. That said, everything about these photos and her terrible song has the whiff of second-tier about them; a fairly talentless person who is self-funding an effort to seem A-list. These photos sort of look like "hot glamour photos", but not quite.

I know others disagree, but I would hope that if you paid 4 grand for a hooker, you could expect she wouldn't have skanky tattoos.

I agree with lazespud. I think Spitzer overpaid.

Jeff reminds me of these message board studs who nit-pick apart women well above their league. Big nose my arse. Wells, you'd have been lucky to nail something half as hot, 30 years ago even.

Definately overpaid. She's claiming to be 22...? If so, she's pullin' a Lohan in those photos.

My friends, to my extreme shock, sent me a hooker for my 25th birthday and, for 300 bucks, she was waaaay hotter and classier than this chick.

Wells,

While I have no problem with any of the observations you've made about Ms. Dupre, for Christ's sake man, enough on the disclaimers already. Either embrace your inner pig or stop posting about her relative hotness/lack thereof. If you would just say what you think and leave it at that, it would be a lot less creepy. But by qualifying all your comments you seem to be trying to straddle a fence that I doubt anyone really cares whether you step over or not and in the process come of rather pervish.

suure Crapster, your 300 dollar whoore was much finer than Spitzer's. Got any homemade supermodel photos to prove it? Otherwise STFU.

jesus, you guys are total fags. it's not how she looks, but what she DOES. think about that for a minute before you pass judgement for how she looks. she probably does things your puny brains can't even compre-fucking-hend.

Spitzer's wife is so much more atractive, not to mention infintely smarter. Men are strange.

Men aren't strange, I think the attraction to youth is pretty well documented and biologically easy to understand. Now, granted, in Spitzer's case it was probably more psychologically complex (power issues, etc.), but my point does stand.
