The movie blog world is all in a tizzy about the fact that Ain't It Cool headmaster, Harry Knowles has given a terrifically positive review about the annoyingly over-hyped, viral-up-the-ass monster movie "Cloverfield," from TV nerd mastermind JJ Abrams.Vulture, Jeffery Wells, Slashfilm and a few others are writing exclamation pointed headlines about the fact that Knowles has actually seen the film and loves it.
Sure, it's one of the first (if not the first) reviews out there about the not-so-secretive monster movie about a Godzilla-like creature that destroys New York (gee, that's fucking original).
But somehow, not having seen the monster yet, is fascinating sheep-like-critics who are completely duped into the film's viral-everywhere, drink-the-kool-aid hype campaign.But how is Knowles gushing review even news? Isn't this like saying: "Shocker! Fat Camp Kids Adore Delicious Visit To Dairy Queen." He isn't exactly a barometer of good taste, let alone taste itself (besides deliciously fried goods).
Without giving the film any more ink, Knowles calls it a "bold reinvention" of the
We smell a Pulitzer for Knowles.
Wow, well we're sold now. Our question is this: If we just ignore "Cloverfield," will it finally go away? The amazing musical score to the film is the sound of popcorn munching and girlish screaming. The world will be a better place if this film isn't number 1 at the box office when it comes out. Please heed our wishes, people.

Quality Knowles Bash, rather proud. You can bang my sister.
Fuck man, delete this I guess because it's just going to point out how much of a whiny buzzkill you are. I never heard of Cloverfield and decided to download it (because I can). I watched it and was completely engrossed in it. I hated Hud. I thought Marlena was a douchy indy rocker. Everyone else was different degrees of boring but believable. It was a thoughroughly entertaining movie. I guess if a movie doesn't suck you off then you hate it. Well fuck you.
