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.

I never thought I would say this but...I loved Paris a bit after seeing this video. She's starting to grow on me, and not like a tumor.

Painfully stupid.
Damn you McCain for giving this talentless, creepy creature another warrantless crack at an audience.

It isn't great comedy in and of itself (her delivery is subpar), but I'm glad she did it and find it kind of amusing. I respect her for responding and being game in general.
Good for her.

Good God, how many takes do you suppose it took for this nitwit to say all those big words in the right order? It's so obvious that she doesn't have the slightest clue what she's talking about.

I think that's the first time I've ever found her attractive.
Well, o.k. I did like her in the cheeseburger commercial.

This is perfect, perfect, perfect. I am amazed that I am actually feeling a bit of respect for her. And, I have to agree with her, she is kind of hot - not sucking Rick Solomon's cock hot, but still-

Being impressed with Paris' performance in this clip is like being impressed that a chimp can find its own asshole.
I must say, I am impressed with her performance.

I have nothing witty to add, I think it's all been stated above. I almost found her hot, but then I took another sip of Apple Jack. That was too close.

If this whole thing is indeed an act, then she's dumber than she portrays, because this clearly isn't helping her image.
or is it?

Now...there are two main reasons voting for
McCain is impossible...
A. He wants to stay in Iraq for 100 years.
B. He has given Paris Hilton respectability and
turned her into a skilled comedienne.

Videos like this prove that McCains ad was spot on.
Obama, Paris, etc are all famous for being famous.
Problem is Paris has done more than Obama

Britney Spears is not famous for being famous. She had quite a few major hits before she became a tabloid trainwreck. Plus she was on the Mickey Mouse Club.
What's John McCain famous for? Getting shot down and dumping his wife and kids in order to marry Ms. Bud and her $100 million bank account.
Remember when John McCain had no problem hosting Saturday Night Live? Haven't Paris Hilton and Britney been on that show? Seems like he's got something in common with those two vapid blonds. He wanted his wife to get naked to be Miss Buffalo Chip.He'll do anything for a vote except vote to give a new GI Bill

corey: I don't normally agree with DPG, but the only reason Britney got in was because she went through a PG-13 variation of the Madonna sexploitation career phase. No one watched that show she was on, and she'd be a nobody, if she didn't prostitute her body(metaphorically speaking, of course) to sell records.

George Prager says ...
"Watching the Hilton video, a few questions came to mind. First, why is that Paris Hilton’s fake ad includes more substantive talk about energy policy than John McCain’s real ad? Second, if writers helped Hilton with her script, and writers helped McCain with his script, why is it that Hilton seems to have a better grasp on policy details than McCain does? Shouldn’t that be, you know, the other way around? And third, why is it that a 27-year-old heiress/reality-show star can read a teleprompter better than the presumptive Republican presidential nominee?"

Put me down in the chalk one up for Paris column - of course that would be the first time ever in her entire life - but you have to start somewhere.
What I want to know is where was the post where Jeff admitted he read the McCain ad totally wrong. I missed it and I love mea culpas...

Just went over to FOD and... apparently... are you sitting down... Paris memorized the whole thing.
World just tilted on its axis.

Gnosis and Joe,
Go back and look at all the cuts in the ad. Paris has to repeat maybe 10 words at a time, tops.
The only "relatively" long clip is when she talks about her energy plan and it certainly looks like she is reading off a cue card there..

Normally I don't pay attention to what Paris Hilton has to say but this changed that.
I actually agree with her and give her applause for firing back at McCain. It was stupid for him to throw her name into the ring and not expect a backlash.
