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)

Richard Dreyfuss, who will probably kill as Dick Cheney in Oliver Stone's W, speaking earlier this afternoon during an MSNBC interview from Denver. "I think the last eight years have destroyed 200 years of respect [for this country]. I think the Republican Party is corrupt through and through. They have been in office too long. They are too adept at thievery and moving the Constitution into places it was never meant to go. I think they have an extraordinary ability to divide rather than unite." Has Walter Sobchak left the room? I think he has...cool.

"I think the last eight years have destroyed 200 years of respect"

Based on Mr. Holland's Opus, Krippendorf's Tribe and Poseidon, I fully believe Dreyfuss knows all about the loss of respect.

1. Shut up, Richard

2. He looks like an aging Chris Elliott in that photo

And nothing is more uniting than labeling anyone who disagrees with you as utterly corrupt (and racist to boot!)

You're all like parodies of conservative cattiness.

Well said, Richard. Hopefully, in "W" he'll wear
the proper attire....a grey tunic and a fluffy white
cat perched on one arm.

[Dreyfuss] "Enough of this division - We'll unite this country by labeling all people with different political beliefs as thieves, constitutional criminals, and the personification of Shiva, Destroyer of Worlds! Unity!"
