yeeha!

What, you mean just like Hiroshima and Nagasaki influenced Godzilla (not to mention the insulting idea of capitalising on it for the sake of a new monster movie, which IS actually different than Godzilla's organic symbolism)? Yes, so original and thought-provoking...

So Messi, this movie got some balls or what?

Kloipy, it could be a bear with THE BATES face. Oh the humanity!

CTHULHU!!!

We can dance like Cthulhu
We can answer to his call
Watch him kick Lady Liberty's head
down the road like a soccer ball

Say, we can dance like Cthulhu
Live it up while the livin's good
Cause once he awakens, the world starts shakin'
and there goes the neighborhood

Say, we can dance, we can dance
Great Old Ones are in control
We can dance, we can dance
Hear them callin' the call
We can dance, we can dance
Terror makes you go in a trance
We can dance, we can dance
Everybody's shitting their p-a-a-nts

The Cthulhu Dance
The Cthulhu Dance
The Cthulhu Dance
Yeah!

It's the CTHULHU DANCE!!!

Your writing stands on its own legs, Mass. You dont need to put up these facades of 'edgy shock' to get people to read and dig your writing. Writers are like garage rock bands. Some of them are just so good, that people notice, and they tell others, and next thing you know, a producer shows up at one of their hole-in-the-wall truck stop saloon gigs, and they become the next big success. Other bands unfortunately, just do not have what it takes - they lack the soul and the sound. So what do they do? They hire hookers and strippers to cavort themselves all over the stage in the hopes that people won't notice how bad their music stinks, and how uncoordinated their drummer actually is.

You dont need the hookers on your stage, Mass. Your sound is good enough without it - stop selling yourself short.

NOW YOU HAVE TO ANSWER TO

AMERICAAA!!! FUCK YEAH!!!

COMIN AGAIN TO SAVE THE MOTHERFUCKIN DAY YEAH!

We can dance like a lion
He is the king of beasts
And when he starts growin'
Destruction he’s sowin'
Takes down buildings like a wildebeest

Say, we can dance like a lion
We can take part in the hunt
Predatory cat will own your ass
Now everybody’s on the run

We can dance like a lion
New York City is now his jungle
Watch him eat yo’ peeps up and down the street
Kill your main dude and your uncle

Say, we can dance, we can dance
And I doth quote “[It is] huge”
We can dance, we can dance
Lookin’ for a bridge to chew
We can dance, we can dance
He’s breakin the convenience store glass
We can dance, we can dance
Blood fillin' all your safari pants

It’s the Lion Dance
The Lion Dance
The Lion
Yeah!

It's the LION DANCE!!!

... a little inside joke for all of us who have nothing to do until Heroes comes back on the air...

I'm joking, of course. I'm Irish and the god who does not exist failed to bless me with monster size. :(

* With apologies to all Japanese talkbackers. I apologize on behalf of Hollywood, as usual.

Caveat 1) If you can’t handle “Shaky Cam,” this is probably not the movie for you.

Caveat 2) If you don’t lime movies that have vague, open endings, where everything is not wrapped up in a tidy little package at the end of the day, this is probably not the movie for you.

Caveat 3) If you are incensed by the idea of any movie having footage and situations that are reminiscent of 9/11, this is probably not the movie for you.

Caveat 4) If you don’t like movies that kick ass, defy Hollywood conventions, reinvigorate genres, this is probably not the movie for you.

Caveat 5) If you don’t like movies that deliver true suspense, not edge of the seat suspense, I mean the kind of suspense that keeps you literally pushing away from the screen, trying to bury yourself into your seat because the suspense was so taut and ruthless, ala Alien, Jaws, etc, this may not be the movie for you.

This WAS the movie for me. I flat out Loved it.

There is one main sequence that pretty much feels like it could have been footage of 9/11 at night. It's a small scene but the parallels are obvious.

For me it did not detract from the mvoie. I feel post 9/11 any movie with buildings coming down will have a similar look. Americans now have that experiance as a frame of reference, and anything else will feel fake.

Hopefully you'll be able to watch the movie at some point without having that as a distraction for you.

I really feel the decision to slowly reveal more and more of the Monster was a great call. Put yourself in that situation, if you were in NYC and it was attacked by a Monster, how much would you have seen? It obviously depends on how things play out, but it’s not like a small town got attacked by a towering monster, and everyone can see it clearly. It’s moving in and around the city.

I guess I’m rambling on and trying to say this, the trailer went out of it’s way to reveal way less of the monster. The movie gives you much more, and you don’t have to wait to the end to get it. You don’t get a full clear extended shot of it until the end, but you do get more and more glimpses of it so that you know basically what it looks like, and trust me, it is one ugly mo fo.

Slkboxrman: I am totally in tune with your post re: 9/11. Every word of it.

I found the "rumor control" post from aicn!

plant or coincidence?

I opened my front door after the screening. guess aicn won't be using it. but it's a talkbacker review.

The whole thing is filmed from a video camera, but it's not bad, it's not a bad thing. I thought even though the trailer showed the potential in the idea of a monster movie filmed from a camcorder to make it seem realistic, that after a while it would would hurt your eyes because of crazy camera work. But not so. There is crazy camera work at places but for the most part it's steady and just when the action beats start where they are running or something crazy is happening does it go crazy and yes it does feel realistic. In fact very realistic.

This is a big movie by the way, the scale. I mean most big scale movies have certain set pieces that are choreographed to show certain destruction etc but this monster(which isn't humanoid by the way) fucks up ALL of Manhattan, there is no limit to what they intend the monster to do. Manhattan is up for grabs.

The start of the movie has it establishing the main players including that guy Rob(from the trailer) and this girl who he has a romantic connection with then people at the party. It's handled really well and you know who these people are when
