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)

5:52 pm Update: First it was "too close to call," then "too early to call" and now Pensylvania has been called a Clinton win with -- right now -- a 10% margin, 55% to 45% in her favor. If the margin of victory doesn't go down to 5% or 6% or 7%, it'll be a bit of an Obama bummer. Were those exit polls indicating a 4% margin between Clinton and Obama -- 52 to 48 -- anywhere near accurate?

Where are you getting this polling info from, just out of curiosity? TV? I'm not finding anything online.

Ah, yes, "exit polling"... the equivalent of "weekend tracking numbers".

Keep in mind, the exit polls -- or, at least, the ones that are reported to us -- have tended to favor Obama quite strongly this year. I've seen it said that, if you average them all together, they added about 7% total for him... but in ones which go Hillary, it's double digits.
