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.

A little dated, no? There are now people of voting age who weren't even born when the original video came out.

I watched the report about McCaine on yesterday's NewsHour With Jim Lehrer and he really does not look comfortable. I've noticed a slight difference in him since he became the "nominee" and it's obvious he's been coached on how to look presidential, but it's not really working.

I'm probably a total dork for saying this, but the arm mobility of the dancing McCains is a crueler joke than the editor probably intended, I hope.

Hilarious. David Fincher actually directed that Madonna video back in the day.
