10 cloverfield lane was super good!!

probably shouldn't have been watching it at midnight

way above and beyond Cloverfield TBH even if...not very related at all lol

The bit where john goodman couldn't think of the term "woman" was solid Squick, nice use of mostly slow pacing, still feels like every minute counts more than cloverfield tbh

smart protag was very nice to see too. kids in cloverfield were dumb af

Kidnapped by PREPPER john goodman

significantly worse

Speaking of prepper, I found a critter got into one of my bags of Huel in the basement, check and seal your crap.

I don't prep btw just had extra and figured stocking up in the basement made sense. I have to go there for tornado watches anyway might as well be a lil prepared

oh this is a movie not a TV series. Not sure why I thought it was

Being kidnapped by John Goodman seems particularly terrifying for some reason

Started watching 10 cloverfield lane. Production quality is way better already. There's colors! Surround sound! Car crash at the start got me.

not show related bitching:

Not proud of getting Amazon Prime again, but it's got shows I'll watch, Fallout, and I have some major purchases I'll get the sub cost back due to the CC cash back.

Trying to treat streaming/etc as a Business and Not Buying Stuff wasn't an option

The "PROPERTY OF US MILITARY" thing is kinda funny because it implies the too-long not-monster related scene was intentionally retained in military records lol

imagine being in the room with fucking CIA, blops marines, or whatever, and watching some chick talk about Kevin

I'm kind of shocked the movie was released as-is with this color grading lmao the blood is straight up orange even in most of the goriest scenes it just looks silly

Movie is good though, I like it. Shots of the monster were well done, found footage stuff is pretty well justified. Acting isn't *amazing* but it works. They feel like Just Some Assholes like they should

oh that's the end. huh. Still pretty good

I get the complaints about not seeing the critter enough but tbh this is a much better excuse than most traditional kaiju movies have lol

They have the same amount of People Talking In Rooms scenes as HaloTV and same reason tbh

tbh you get a better look at the monster than I was expecting

the CGI is oddly inconsistent, the early explosion looked pretty bad, the lil critters look pretty damn good though

Horror movie protags are much dumber than video game horror protags I've noticed. Even without the classic Let's Split Up or "Let's fuck AFTER the murders start"

Military stuff is pretty well handled in this, they're overwhelmed but not cartoonishly incompetent/evil/unreasonable

"we're just going to nuke it lol"

understandable, have a great day

What I can only assume was product placement is hilarious in this movie, big halted shots on a Mountain Dew sign as the crew treats violent injuries and a shot with a Sephora store sign for a full minute after a major character died

...I HOPE they're product placements lol they're too awkward not to be right??

I do NOT buy that these idiot kids survived the critter attack like that but not terrible

I know It's Movies, but I hATE blue/orange contrast now lmao

Major eyeroll now

it's soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo 🙄

So glad Star Trek Discovery stopped abusing it by the end of Season 1

I know I know THE CONTRAST but there are other colors. so many other colors.
i bought a fancy tv that displays even more colors

Speaking of SH2, they actually have a cute "90s" mode (v low contrast, meh), glad new one has more colors

The CGI is...not great at times, probably helped the concept of the movie a lot lol. Definitely better in small doses here.

I love the military just constantly fucking hammering it. They always just sit the fuck back in these things. Honestly unless it is some sort of Ascended Being big monster is probably dead meat in minutes vs bombs tbh

oooo saw the face! Pacing is so much better now

it's fascinating that just a couple years later the conceit of "just this one guy has the good camera" would be totally ruined by phones

has such an awful relationship with phones lol

I noticed playing Silent Hill 2 remake that non-CRT TVs and digital signals have cost a lot of fun atmospheric spooks too. Well, then Analog Horror happened but
