Well, God and everyone saw Cloverfield at the sneak preview last night. Or so the IMDb.com boards would have me believe. And yes, I was one of the lucky few. And what would the Internets be without one more fangirl chiming in. (I'm a big believer in not spoiling a movie, so if you want the Big Reveal, look elsewhere. Really. It's not hard to find anymore.) 1. Take your $8 and head to the theaters Thursday night. Seriously. Just ... go. 2. Lesson learned: Sneakers and jeans are smart attire. If you're running for your life, you don't want to do it in 4-inch Manolos and a mini-dress. I'm just sayin'. 3. I had built this movie up a lot in my head, and I wasn't disappointed. There were plenty of "[gasp] [jump] OMG!" moments - possibly enough to annoy my neighbor. 4. That is one heck of a camera to survive everything its put through *and* film for 90 minutes. 5. Pay attention to the upper corners of the screen at the very last scene. Or so I've been told. 6. Stay through the credits, as any good fangirl knows. 7. The cast of unknowns works. You're not sitting there thinking, 'oh, Nathan Fillion will get out of this!' You really feel like you're watching a random group of strangers. |

I'm going to see the midnight showing, and all I can say is: I better see an 'Indiana Jones' trailer. This is a Paramount flick after all, and it's only a few months 'til Indy makes his glorious return and we've been preview-less so far.
