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)

A perfect example of why MADTV is better than SNL.

It's at LEAST a year old. I thought you posted it before, actually.

Ever the anachronistically-pompadoured contrarian:

"I'm sitting here and I'm going, "They expect me to feel enthusiasm about an '06 movie?"

". . .something in me rebels at the idea of seeing a "new" film that was in its prime vintage state 22 months ago, and was probably shot in '05."

"I don't care how old this is..."

Oh! Snap!

Amy is a poor. Now she really needs love and support. I saw her profile on millionaire&celeb dating site "RichMatchMaking.com" yesterday. It seems she is dating online now.
