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)

My Earthlink e-mail messages stopped coming in last night around 9 pm Pacific. The whole network is down as we speak. It took me 45 minutes this morning to pull this priveleged information out of the Earthlink tech support team in the Dominican Republic. With a pair of pliers. I went through through three very friendly guys who were reluctant to own up. If someone has an urgent message try me at gruver1@gmail.com. The D.R. guys said the Earthlink network would be back up in one or two or three hours. In other words, possibly by midnight tonight.

Don't worry Jeff, today is April 1, the day that the internet stops functioning and becomes a useless pile of false information and pranks.

As a sworn enemy of Earthlink, I hope you take this opportunity to cut this cancerous entity out of your life and adopt another - ANY other - ISP.

That's what you get for supporting the Scientology network.

I have had Earthlink through TIme Warner for almost two years and I've had very few problems.
Today's problem affected web mail but I had no problem retrieving my messages through Outlook Express. I am very satisfied with Earthlink. Any ISP can go down for a while.
