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)

Assassins Spreading the Wealth

Before today, people were worried Obama was going to get assassinated if he were elected President. Even back in the primaries, some black voters didn't want to vote for Obama just because they didn't want him to die. Also not too long ago, police caught a nut-job with artillery and body armor raving about killing Obama.


Now McCain's getting some love. Two mysterious letters with "white powder" in them were delivered to McCain offices in Denver and Manchester, NH. Before anyone jumps the gun, the white powder could be anything, and this is just some dirty prank. Call me disturbed, but it's about time someone threatened McCain's life. I'm sure he was feeling left out with all Obama's death threats. No doubt it's going to be made into a bigger issue that someone wanted to kill the old white guy candidate.

No doubt, McCain is going to spin this and use this as a launch pad to talk about terrorism (*rolling the eyes*). When that Clinton office in New Hampshire was taken hostage by that unarmed maniac, Clinton didn't really take advantage to make her seem like a victim. Something tells me McCain is licking his chops right now.
