Why is the movie world full of bullshit hyperbole? by kwisatzhaderach	Dec 1st, 2007 02:58:23 AM
They felt they had just made 'Star Wars'? Give me a break.
JUST SAW YOUR MOM! by Errockk	Dec 1st, 2007 02:59:46 AM
It was blehh!
Cool. by Khrono	Dec 1st, 2007 03:02:38 AM
Very cool. I doubt this is as innovating as Star Wars, but cool nonetheless.
Great Review! by GCH888	Dec 1st, 2007 03:03:54 AM
I like how it avoided any spoilers. Thanks a lot!
Hmmmm by Stuart-Renton	Dec 1st, 2007 03:05:57 AM
I'm confused. What does this say about the movie (other than it was awesome)? Seems like yet another in a long stream of getting quite annoying promotions for a movie we still know nothing about.
I just saw the live action JLA movie by kafka07	Dec 1st, 2007 03:12:53 AM
IT SUCKED BALLS!
if it's SOOO great... by fight this generation	Dec 1st, 2007 03:14:31 AM
then why the hell is it being released in January? Why all the viral, playing coy with filmgoers marketing? I've got no hopes for this one, but with the dearth of any decent releases in Jan/Feb, I'll still see it. Maybe, just maybe, it'll surprise me.
What a review... by Pipple	Dec 1st, 2007 03:14:44 AM
No life story, no long rants about politics, no pretentious preaching? It's Ain't it concise news.
Starwars reinvented Science Fiction movies by TheNorthlander	Dec 1st, 2007 03:15:23 AM
...in a time when Blockbuster was a new concept. This is just a monster movie. Made in a time when 20 movies a year competes to be Blockbuster of the year. There will not be a new "Star Wars" until a few decades after the studios stop making Blockbusters.
It's Blair Witch meets Godzilla so... by photoboy	Dec 1st, 2007 03:24:10 AM
... it can't be the next Star Wars. The premise just isn't big enough or clever enough for that.
And so... by DocPazuzu	Dec 1st, 2007 03:33:43 AM
...a new AICN catchphrase is born!
JUST SAW THE MIST by Kurzinski Valentine	Dec 1st, 2007 03:33:51 AM
And I take back the fun-making I launched at the previews. Great movie, but the marketing was terrible.
IT WAS AWESOME! by darrenspool	Dec 1st, 2007 03:34:33 AM
But don't tell us what it's about, YOU FUCKING CRUEL BASTARD!!! Fuck you!
What if THE DARK KNIGHT... by LoneGun	Dec 1st, 2007 03:42:08 AM
...is really the film of 2008 that turns out to be the next "STAR WARS", and Heath Ledger's Joker winds up becoming the most iconic screen villain since Darth Vader? What if?
If anyone but Harry wrote this story... by IndustryKiller!	Dec 1st, 2007 03:43:26 AM
it might have a modicum of suspense to it. I mean no offense, but Harry you've been known to jump the gun and be more than a little forgiving.
I want to know ONE thing. by Kurzinski Valentine	Dec 1st, 2007 03:48:48 AM
DO WE SEE THE MONSTER? If not, I refuse to see it based on pure spite.
That was a review? by Pawprint	Dec 1st, 2007 03:54:17 AM
Jesus christ - that makes me one of the world's most eloquent and insightful reviewers EVER! The original Star Wars was a phenomenon of it's time; it was mysterious and unknown because it was just that - no-one was really interested in it prior to release, and the success was all word-of-mouth generated. 'Cloverfield' on the other hand, is just clever, slick - perhaps even cynical - marketing, and this 'review' is just typical... I couldn't be LESS excited about this film.

If someone had really seen this film... by Evil Lincoln	Dec 1st, 2007 04:37:58 AM
...they would have put up a huge post bragging about seeing the film and spewing information about this "secret" blockbuster movie. Having some choad come on here and saying it's awesome and nothing more isn't even worth posting on this site. Give us some cool news or get off the pot.

Re: buffywrestling by fishpillow	Dec 1st, 2007 04:53:30 AM
It's cool, Harry gives me a complex every time he gets near a keyboard.
Cloverfield is by cromwell1666	Dec 1st, 2007 04:54:09 AM
THE MOST UNPUTDOWNABLE SEXY TOMBOY BEANPOLE IN THE UNIVERSE. Also, Roger Ebert is a moron. In his 1999 negative review of the South Park movie, he states that Matt and Trey better move on because there is nowhere left to take South Park. When are people going to give that bloated ass the boot he deserves?

Meh-Star Wars doesnt need to happen again by cromwell1666	Dec 1st, 2007 05:31:31 AM
Greatness will always find a way to get made. Star Wars has been demystified by Lucas now anyway. LOTR and Harry Potter are better series in term of story and mood. Let go of Star Wars, life is for the living.
Excellent Journalism by Lloytron	Dec 1st, 2007 05:34:01 AM
Now I've read this review I have no doubt this movie will be awesome. After all, someone anonymous thinks it is awesome! He must have seen it because hey, it was shown internally at Viacom at some point. Who needs proof he was actually there? Not me!

just watched star wars part 7 in a small room by palewook	Dec 1st, 2007 05:48:34 AM
before the special effects are placed in the movie. and man the special effects looked great...... thats my whole review. really i saw it. want proof? my second cousin overheard your third cousin's ex best friends step sisters next door neighbor who heard it was going to rain tomorrow.
yeah I'd like to share your enthusiasm Harry by Maniaq	Dec 1st, 2007 05:59:55 AM
but I've heard a lot of movies get the "IT WAS AWESOME" review and while some were even truly great, I think you're a just little too eager to make the leap to "magic time" friend...
I'm embarrassed for them... by proton45	Dec 1st, 2007 06:01:18 AM
Their are some clever minds behind the promotion of "Cloverfield" and it has made me (very) skeptical of any secondhand information I hear about the movie...However reading the paragraph about how they feel they "made Star Wars" made me cringe (I felt embarrassed for them)...The makers of "Star Wars" (way back when) didn't even know what they had before they released it...They thought that they had a "good movie" and hoped the public would like it, but they had no idea of the phenomena/sub-culture they where giving birth too...To suggest that "they"(cloverfield) feel they created something so monumental as Star Wars is embarrassing...maybe they should have said they made Jaws (LOL)...
I won't. by TheNorthlander	Dec 1st, 2007 06:08:14 AM
and I work in a movie theater so I go in for free. Still haven't seen Snakes on a Plane either.
Remember when Bruce Willis said Die Hard 4 was gonna be as good by TheNorthlander	Dec 1st, 2007 06:13:50 AM
or when he kept talking about how great he felt about it and everything? You see, people who work on movies are sometimes either blinded by the project as a sort of defense mechanism. Even though they know it's not that great they still convince themselves that it is to make a better job and keep the morale up. Also, sometimes they lie because it's in their interest. In this case, I say Don't believe the hype. If it's really that good, you'll hear it from people you know.
the problem with working in a movie theater... by TheRealSeveren	Dec 1st, 2007 06:17:36 AM
is you always come in during the same part every time you do your little check to see if some tweener snuck in. You know its true...Cloverfield will deliver but what do I know I liked MI3. pop quiz: name that movie quote "jam me jack me push me pull me talk hard"
The exploding girl convinces me that... by MOOMINIO	Dec 1st, 2007 06:18:22 AM
Its gonna be a remake of "the stuff" with a giant monster thrown in....people drink slusho! they expand. Original.

Cloverfield episode IV: A new hope by everstranger	Dec 1st, 2007 06:25:29 AM
So J.J Abrams make a Cloverfield trilogy that's awesome and in 2021, when he needs more money to pay for his divorce, he makes a prequel called episode 1: The monster menace. He introduces a friendly monster talking like a retard, brings in shitty actors who will fulfil all his nerdy fantasies like fucking near waterfalls etc... Angry fans demonstrations follow and the world collapses. I WARNED YOU !!!!
Harry would bone, wouldn't he? by darrenspool	Dec 1st, 2007 06:27:23 AM
That's for boning us.
AlbertPike? Slusho site? Flippable pictures with cryptic message by cromwell1666	Dec 1st, 2007 06:27:41 AM
I wonder viewers will actually be able to work backwards after they see the film and see all of the clues they missed way back in July. I'd hate to think that there were no clues in any of that stuff. I would've wasted too much time pondering non-existant puzzles. Thats no fair!
TheRealSeveren by TheNorthlander	Dec 1st, 2007 06:32:27 AM
I liked MI3too (sounds like a star wars droid), I think it's by far the best in the series. The first one was really forgetable, except for that great opening where all the agents got killed, and the second one suffered from post matrix syndrome. But this isn't M:I 3. This is the Liam Gallagher school of self promotion, and rule #1 there is Boast your ass off because people are sheep.
I saw Cloverfield and it.... by Evil Lincoln	Dec 1st, 2007 06:35:09 AM
...was too Clovery!
All retarded jokes aside... by Evil Lincoln	Dec 1st, 2007 06:37:22 AM
...I totally agree with proton45's assessment of the "Star Wars" comment. Kind of reminds me of the music artists who say they're as big as The Beatles.
You know by cromwell1666	Dec 1st, 2007 06:39:31 AM
JJ and the producers have been fairly reticent. All of the hype is coming from people speculating. Im not sure why people are so angry at this film already. Nothing wrong with mystique. This is a unique appoach. Enjoy it. Would u be happier with knowing everything you think you want to know? Its human nature to want all the answers and get angry when they don't cme fast enough, but the anticipation and the slow unravelling is much more engaging.
Yeah but... by Spifftacular Squirrel Girl	Dec 1st, 2007 06:40:44 AM
It was stated that someone "not associated with the film" made the Star Wars comparison.
it wasnt a review by palewook	Dec 1st, 2007 06:43:14 AM
it was a shill for the marketing campaign
All this Cloverfield nonsense is fine and dandy... by TheRealSeveren	Dec 1st, 2007 06:47:11 AM
but I just really want to see a sequel to Pump up the Volume. ATTN: Northlander hey man, people arent sheep at least not the folks we know. Think back to all the people youve met in recent years and a vast majority of them are probably intelligent, creative and all around interesting. The "masses" are smarter than you think. I think we're all going to have alot of fun at the movies come January. "Oh my god its before 8:30 so I guess its ok to kill myself" Wave of Mutilation UK surf is such a great song and its probably the reason I ended up enjoying Southland tales as much as I did.
I bet when Harry wakes up at Noon.... by cromwell1666	Dec 1st, 2007 06:48:57 AM

Harry, you lying fuck hack by Son of Hades	Dec 1st, 2007 06:49:30 AM
You've been sucking the corporate cock for far too long now. Retire while you still have what remains of your health and hand over to Drew. Only an ever-diminishing group of retards believes anything you say these days.
I think it is obvious.. by buffywrestling	Dec 1st, 2007 06:56:20 AM
that it is sponsered by Dunkin Donuts... Yeah, I know. But funny if it was. Ever had a Hurtz Statue of Liberty donut? Thwack-Thwack Hutrz donut? Then there is flag waving... "yay!" No seriously. The synopsis of the film, is going to be a hurtz donut and flag waving.
I hope people give the Blair Witch Project some props by cromwell1666	Dec 1st, 2007 07:01:54 AM
Talk about revolutionary and ahead of its time! We've been witnessing Blair Witch offspring in the form of Ghost Hunter shows, TLC docs and films like......Cloverfield.

Anticipating something being the next "Star Wars" is counter-pro by Chewtoy	Dec 1st, 2007 07:23:54 AM
Seriously... As soon as you raise that expectation, there really is no way for a movie to meet it. Largely, this is because people didn't go into "Star Wars" itself with preconceived measuring sticks. So this pretty much leaves the only point of this "review" and over-hype being to fan the flames of the haters in talkback chatter. None of which strikes me as good for the movie. At least the "Blair Witch" backlash came after the film had become a success.

I don't give a flying fuck about this hype-machine by SpencerTrilby	Dec 1st, 2007 07:39:21 AM
I guess I'm normal, then. A Star Wars-like movie? Gimme a fucking break. It will make a small benefit and end up in HD-DVD or something in 6 months, and same time next year no one will give a shit.
I didn't see any lightsabers in the trailer by aboriginal	Dec 1st, 2007 07:44:39 AM

First off, The Mist was so so much better than I expected. Great. I've seen the Cloverfield trailer online before last night, but seeing it on the big screen really got me amped. I'm incredibly optimistic about this.
It is Lovecraft! For 'tis a plant monster! by JackPumpkinhead	Dec 1st, 2007 08:02:43 AM
Okay, it's not, but calling "plant" is a tradition worth keeping. By the way, I'm glad Harry did not mention [the guy who wrote "Superman vs. Doctor Lex Luthor, Flying Kryptonian CIA Agent"] anywhere. The damn egomaniac's name is already too often being attached to a film that he's only producing...

On the notion of this great review and the fact that a reliable source said it was 'Awesome' and especially when they say 'Just saw'. (Spoiler) By the way I forgot to send you my review of 'The Dark Knight'. 'Just Saw The Dark Knight, it was okay, not as good as Burton's Joker' I apologize for the length of the review, next time it will be shorter.
the next "Star Wars" by jimmay	Dec 1st, 2007 08:07:10 AM

Talbackers that is what happened to this site by emeraldboy	Dec 1st, 2007 09:26:10 AM
Some talkbackers anyway. The talkbackers who genuinely love movies have been crowded out by those who patently dont. Those talkbackers who dont like movies use thier Alleged love movies as a front, to beat up on every single aspect of movies from the process of making movies to the studio system down to all directors, writers and finally the cast, the poster, the trailers. They all hated X-men 3, Superman returns, transformers. But yet they all went and saw those films, crowded on here, to say how awful those films were. Dont complain if one day harry decides to shut this website down and walk away. He only set up this because he genuinely believed that there were people who shared his love of film. some talkbackers have become the reason why this site is so terrible. If the talkback was filled with unifrom agreement all the time then it would become boring. Just once in a while it would be good if everyone agreed that the fil they saw was the best of the year. some talkbackers have made this site utter predictable and stale. With utter dislike of Movies in general and anyone who actually likes movies and has a good word to say. and if harry shuts this site which he wont, then those who hate movies only will have themselves to blame.
Went back in time and just saw Batman & Robin by tiredpm	Dec 1st, 2007 10:01:51 AM
IT WAS AWESOME! Good God, Harry, that might be a new low for this site. Can you at least verify the person who wrote the 'review'? Because if that's the standard for scoops these days I'm going to start emailing you every time I work on an in-house corporate video...

Wow kiss ass much. I think it's fucked up we all have to hold hands, eat Hostess Fruit Pies(tm), and love all shit movies. Why can't we call bullshit? This "review" was bullshit, and harry is full of shit for posting it.

I tied my bathrobe for this? by artyfufkin	Dec 1st, 2007 10:17:54 AM
Is this is a joke? The Staue of Bigotry with its head missing, a wake going into NYC to be destroyed +again+ and an ape/Lion/hippogriff/sasquatch monster? Hollywood is getting extremely f*&king tired.
What if.. by Cotton McKnight	Dec 1st, 2007 10:18:42 AM
the monster is Shia LeBeouf? What if?
What if..... what if....... people actually gave a shit?? by J-Dizzle	Dec 1st, 2007 10:24:26 AM
The buzz of this movie has died down because people have become sick to death of Abrams' cock teasing. This elusive "I've seen Clovahfeeeld, ZOMG!!!!!! LOL!!!!!!11111" message is just another example of the above mentioned cock teasing. So somebody saw Cloverfield. So what? If no one is going to post a review then its a pretty pointless message really, isn't it? "But itz da necksed Stah Warz!!!!!" How are we supposed to know that??? No reviews, no hard evidence to suggest its awesome. Just a viral marketing campaign that lost its flavor months ago. Color me unimpressed.
emeraldboy by leobloom	Dec 1st, 2007 10:24:50 AM
The point you didn't address is that this "review" is completely lacking in substance. It sounds like bare-bones marketing hype. Don't you see that?

if this asshole had actually seen this...and seen the monster. Do you really believe that Harry and Co. wouldn't splash the description etc. all over this page? Because fuck...that's the biggest scoop of the year. Instead we get this cocktease wannabe thing that is just laughable. And this panting and drooling what-if? Truthfully I'm very excited about this movie. I've got the poster I got at Comicon hanging in my cubicle at work. Yes I am that lamge. But this kind of hamfisted wannabe hype post bullshit is plain stupid. I think other people on here feel the same way.

It's a lame Blair Witch version of Godzilla by ShiftyEyedDog2	Dec 1st, 2007 10:37:31 AM

I think that STAR WARS was made at a time when children liked space, but children are not in space anymore, so that big monsters are there in acity andkids and people can enjoy it. Plus, I liked it whenthey went ZEEEOOP! and PIZZZZEEEEM! Also, a monsterinthe city is too soon afterI was in it and I might get scared like the trailerwas for teh first sTar Wars.
Oh you think Harry will like this movie? by leobloom	Dec 1st, 2007 10:51:09 AM
That's not saying much. Question: What was the last film he didn't like? Answer: The one he didn't get paid to endorse!
The only time I've ever seen Cinema lines like Star Wars by MontyPigeon	Dec 1st, 2007 10:51:17 AM
Was Ghostbusters. There is no way that Cloverfield will even match it. It may be a good film but if all we have to go by is "It's awesome" then we're as much in the dark over it as Lemmywinks was up the asshole.

Everybody is Carping on about remakes by emeraldboy	Dec 1st, 2007 10:59:20 AM
Why are you all complaining about this now? it has been happening since the very beginning Of hollywood. There have been countless remakes of Dracula, Peter Pan, frankenstein, the blob, Alfred Hitchcock remade some of his movies. Westerns have been made and remade countless times. This all agenda-ism. Hype has alway been part of the hollywood system. This is a semi-hypothetical scenario. Hollywood gets total by superstorm and studio system gets suspended. Then there would be no hollywood, no movies no and reason for this site to exist at all. I cannot believe that there would people crowding on here if that happened and it may happen one day the way the weather is all fucked up globally to cheer the demise of the studio system. If there were no movies being made and no tv, this site would no exist. No more talkback.

Can't wait to see the new American Godzilla with a bunch of hi fiving teenaged white boys in it. In the trailer, they lost me at the party scene. I can just hear the use of the word "bro" every five seconds.

that movies exist BEYOND H'wood? Don't you? This site, as ridiculously biased and dishonest as it became, runs articles about Asian or Eropean or sometimes African movies a couple times a year. Fuck Hollywood. It needs to burn to the ground, steam quietly for a decade and be rebuilt. Just like 50 years ago. Oh, and as much as I love to talkback with some people here, if the site was shut down I'd spend my time doing more interesting things. Like watching movies. Or talking about them with my real friends from the real life. There IS something beyond The Internet.

I JUST SAW CITIZEN KANE 2 AT A VANCOUVER SCREENING by Pound Sand	Dec 1st, 2007 12:03:59 PM
The code name for this movie was Rosebud's Revenge. The FX weren't totally complete, nor was the score, but the dialogue was final. OH, AND IT WAS AWESOME!
The irony of the Cloverfield Marketing campaign... by cinemaniac1979	Dec 1st, 2007 12:04:35 PM
...is that this is how all movies SHOULD be marketed. Personally, I like know very little about a movie before seeing it. In my world, 95% (or more) of the material intrailers would come from the first two reels. The trailer should set me up, the movie should knock me down. Unfortunately, we live in a world where marketing types are too cowardly to trust that people might actually be interested in seeing something unless they know the entire (tired) story, beat-by-beat. Maybe Cloverfield's greatest accomplishment will be to simply get trailer houses to learn how to cut a damn trailer.
I just saw Eastern Promises by Madcapper	Dec 1st, 2007 12:06:34 PM
and that was fucking awsome. More awsome that cloverfield will be even if it lives up to everything people think it can be. It can only be another uninteresting monster movie. Unless of course, we actually get to see a monster tear down the city and gobble down two thousand rich kids with camcorders they happened to have handy. Somehow I doubt it though..
We don't need an edit button, theredtoad by SpencerTrilby	Dec 1st, 2007 12:06:48 PM
because this site is infallible, and so are we. Besides, like Tom Bodet cleverly said, this site is as much slutting for the ad hits as the studio are for their opening week ends.
Harry, how about working a little bit? by SpencerTrilby	Dec 1st, 2007 12:13:09 PM
Putting up this Hollow Man DC review (the one you teased us with but never did...) or this second James Cameron phone interview (before Iron Jim drove through a tunnel). I'm not insensitive, so I won't ask for the promised WalterB talkback.

If the synopsis is true... by Larry Sellers	Dec 1st, 2007 01:19:26 PM
It's kind of an interesting perspective. In films we always see a giant monster attack from a science or military perspective before that of the average person's. People who are incapable of stopping the creature and are only struggling to survive. Don't see how that could possibly be the next Star Wars but it's still kinda cool.

AICN is marketing this movie by box	Dec 1st, 2007 01:28:11 PM
AICN is being paid by the studio to market this movie and get awareness. all they have to do is every few weeks, up till release date, is post anything....no matter how much or how little content....that has the word "cloverfield" in it. this will stir up a talk back and get peoples interest in the movie up again. my suggestion.....stop talking back in these forums where it's obviously marketing shit by AICN. take your discussions to other areas of worth.

We get a HUGE teaser to The Dark Tower in the opening to The Mist......Cloverfield trailer plays before the mist. JJ Abrams is producing Cloverfield....JJ Abrams purchased the rights to Dark Tower.........NExt Star WArs? Only thing on the horizon I can think of that can rival Star Wars as a giant epic series would be Dark Tower. How fucking cool would it be if JJ builds to the Dark Tower with actually other films tying into it? It's a long shot but it makes sense with all the secrecy and vague comments like the "Star wars" one......

I just saw "Die Hard 4" again on a small screen by Turd Furgeson	Dec 1st, 2007 02:14:15 PM
Blockbuster online, can't beat it. I'm pretty damn sure they should cast Timothy Olyphant as Kyle Reese in the new Terminator opposite Christian Bale... That would be AWESOME....
I JUST ATE HALF A SANDWICH!!!! by Turd Furgeson	Dec 1st, 2007 02:15:20 PM
Why only half you ask? Because it was gross and couldn't finish it. Harry I'll send you the rest of it.
Who cares about the budget? by Barry Egan	Dec 1st, 2007 02:15:25 PM
300 was made for what? $60 million? It's a great looking film for the money. There are no big name stars in this. Maybe the filmmakers are using their budget responsibly.
I saw it and thought it was "meh" by football	Dec 1st, 2007 02:17:48 PM
And that CGI monster was like godzilla with two heads!! The Blair Witch Godzilla is what I saw.

Cloverfield marketing by Fan180	Dec 1st, 2007 02:33:40 PM
I think Abrams should have took the marketing further and had Coca-cola secretly create a Slusho drink well before the release of the movie. Each can containing clues about Cloverfield. Imagine seeing mysterious, green Slusho vending machines popping up on college campuses all across the America. I think it would have generated some real buzz and kept people talking.

Episode 1 of Star Wars maybe by alienindisguise	Dec 1st, 2007 02:42:42 PM
Cuz it sure as shit won't rival the good ones. Cloverfield will suck ass just like all of Abrams' projects.

Skywalkerfamily by leobloom	Dec 1st, 2007 02:54:03 PM
You'd never know it based on the attention this site gives to Cloverfield versus TDK. AICN never did around to posting all the new websites that popped up w/ the Gotham newspaper, etc.

I just saw Thundercats - The Motion Picture by SpencerTrilby	Dec 1st, 2007 03:01:14 PM
starring Greg Grunberg as Lion-O and Keri Russell as the hairy feline hottie. IT WAS AWESOME!!! Well, it's a pleonasm, considering that JJ Abrams (the new Spielberg, so says Sumner Redstone!) is producing.
Does Lord of the Rings not qualify as "the next Star Wars"? by BobPalpatine	Dec 1st, 2007 03:02:16 PM
If not then when she stop waiting for the next Star Wars - since what makes it so special and unique won't ever be duplicated - since by definition it wouldn't be special or unique. If you are waiting for something that makes as big a splash in fandom, I would say the comic book movies approach that sort of Star Wars mayhem.

Okay so let me get this straight... by JackBauer24	Dec 1st, 2007 03:07:26 PM
The Dark Knight unleashes a marketing blitz across the web, with multiple websites such as The Gotham Times, The HaHaHa Times, Remembering Gina, We Are The Answer, and many many other websites representing Gotham's main institutions such as Police, Schools, Banking, Transport and Security, bringing Gotham to life with real e-mail addresses, phone numbers etc. basically constituting a massive online mystery to reveal just what is really going on with the Joker (not to mention the numerous whysoserious updates and games there have been recently) and AICN doesn't even report it in its footnotes. But Cloverfield gets headline news because some nobody apparently said 'it was awesome'. Fuck this site.

The next Star Wars by skimn	Dec 1st, 2007 03:40:29 PM
Wouldn't The Matrix qualify? It had ground breaking visual effects, that were copied ad naseum since. It had a "philosophy" that could delved into for deeper meaning. And it had a lead actor, Reeves/Hamill, that hasn't been in anything good since. (Overlooking Hamill's voice over work)
Oh yea, by skimn	Dec 1st, 2007 03:41:15 PM
and IT WAS AWESOME!
NOT A PLANT (i suppose) by Harry Weinstein	Dec 1st, 2007 03:44:01 PM
A plant would have gone on at great length without saying much of anything, and inserted lots of crappy catchphrases imitating other reviews their corporate masters e-mailed them from this site. No, I think that was real. I would never call it a review but I think it was a legit reaction. On that note, here's my "review" of Pang Ho Cheung's EXODUS. JUST SAW EXODUS IN A VERY SMALL SCREENING IN A ROOM ADJACENT TO MY BEDROOM! IT WAS AWESOME!!! See, no sell out in my review - I turn on the Caps Lock and I keep it that way 'till the review is over. Also, I only used exclamation points for ending sentences, and after "AWESOME" I used three of them. It underscores exactly how awesome EXODUS truly is. I even give you the location of the screening, so you can get a bit deeper into my frame of mind. This guy you published can't make up his mind about the awe-inspiring power of Caps Lock. He needs to either completely embrace it, or stick to capitalizing properly like he was writing for Film Comment or something.

Hilarious talkback by DocPazuzu	Dec 1st, 2007 04:38:42 PM
emeraldboy, you do have several valid points but they would have gone over better if you didn't mention THOSE films as examples. Also, as much as this site drives me crazy on occasion, I love it dearly for the talkbacks. There is nothing more entertaining or funny than a talkback that's gone completely nuts, whether it's a geek franchise flame war, a good troll-bashing, or a new catch-phrased/themed frenzy. Sure, I'd prefer a few more serious film discussions every now and then, but I can't lie - I absolutely love the unique madness and hilarity of AICN talkback.

Utter bullshit...I don't mean that it's been seen, because I'm sure it has. But to run that as a "review?" Christ, no wonder people are laughing at us. Gaius, you were right - we are getting raked over at CHUD.
GREAT comment on the CHUD TB: by JimCurry	Dec 1st, 2007 04:49:37 PM

I would be laughing my ass off right now. Maybe I'm in the minority, but I myself laughed out loud when I read this absurd article, and kudos to Harry for feeling free to post it and unleash the hounds of talkback. You have to admire the showmanship--a movie whose secretiveness has made it one of the most provocative on this site finally has a review, and THAT was what we get? Face it, it's funny, dudes.
