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)

Stand-Alone Oscar Balloon page

I'm presuming HE readers understand that the '08 Oscar Balloon has its own page now with a feedback/comments option. Should I double up by pasting it at the bottom of the page, where it's been for three and a hlaf years, or will people adapt to the new click-through deal?

I got very used to it being at the bottom of the page but I can get used to clicking on it too. Do you find that people are discovering where it is? that is the main thing. If it was up to me I would put it back at the bottom since everyone knows it was there.

I would keep it on a stand-alone. but perhaps it's a good idea to, once in a while, remind people just where it can be found. i'm sure we'll get a hang of it eventually.

It's better where it is, because now you can scroll to the bottom of the page and find D.Z.'s latest comment instantly. Before, I wasted precious seconds not knowing about Enron's evils till I scrolled back up.

Seriously, since I can't imagine even thinking about that until at least October, there's no need for it to be on the main pages now. You could always move it back here when, you know, it's actually Oscar season.

You probably should have Heath Ledger in there as Best Supporting Actor for The Dark Knight. That's kind of a given at this point, right?
