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)

Check Your Shame

The Clinton team's hammer-home message of Barack Obama being a :paragon of elitism" vs. Hillary Clinton's touted rep as a holder of "testicular fortitude" is, of course, absurd. But tell that to your average Indiana or North Carolina Enquirer-reading prole. This is bad. This is less bad. This is good.

Clinton has testicles? I would have voted for her if I knew she was a tranny.

Still haven't noticed that Clinton has all the momentum these days? This is politics, folks... the smart, idealistic candidate never wins against the ruthless, greedy candidate. N.E.V.E.R.

It occurred to me that Obama's distancing himself from Wright might hurt him among black voters in NC. Don't know if there's any polls to back this up.

Come on. Hillary has experience! Of hosting tea parties as first lady for 8 yrs.

Why doesnt Laura Bush run for President? She has the same experience. Maybe Babs too.
