steven went to go see "cloverfield" this weekend; i can't see it because i get motion sickness just from walking. surprise verdict: the audience HATED the movie. towards the end, someone yelled "oh hell no! this better not be the end of the movie!" and when it did end, there was loud chorus of booing all around. the worst response was that people wanted their money back, the mildest was that it was sucky blair witch rip-off. apparently no one was scared, either. ?? all i've watched are the commercials and i've been freaking myself out.

i don't know what people want in a monster moofie, but i guess random people being eaten by volkswagen-sized crab lice ain't it.
