I think the mundane perspective and ordinary characters were meant to ground the movie. Most kaiju movies follow elite scientists or squads of soldiers so it’s a bit easier to relate to regular people just bumbling around (and a lot cheaper to film).
See, this is what got me into the theater for Cloverfield, I wanted this movie. It’s a bummer I got it in the form of some particularly jittery found footage. I was hoping for something more akin to those goofy disaster movies, but the disaster is a kaiju; not just in tone, but in how it was shot. As you say, some more spectacle would have gone a long way. That, or to really drill down and get into the “human horror” aspect and maybe make the military/authority figures more antagonistic.
All in all, I guess I’m glad Cloverfield succeeded despite my personal feelings because we got 10 Cloverfield Lane which, while not without problems of its own, I enjoyed much more
You’re not an English speaking troll yourself, “shortest hanging fruit” headass
You couldn’t even keep your lunatic sentence structure and shit up for two whole comments? They breed the trolls weak these days, man
No one is grading your troll post on word count my guy
I have been poor, yes! Have you ever been outside? Do you think there are diaper black markets? Do you think everyone stealing to make ends meet qualifies for WIC in the first place?
For real, these digital displays never change what I went in there to get. I look for the section labeled with the thing I want, I get it, I pay, I leave. Not once have I gone “damn that fake Sprite covered in fake condensation looks so refreshing, I think I’ll get that instead.”
I guess it has to work on some level though, or those no way they’d be paying for those instead of simple panes of glass

Unsure what the law has to say about murder when the targets are the denizens of Hell. Or if earth laws even apply in Hell.
Came here to say the same. I feel like “indoor shoes” are a lot more rare in places where you have a chance of tracking in snow
I had forgotten entirely about doing this as a kid, hell
Seconding an electric kettle, even a cheap one was a game changer over not having one at all. Crazy how 99.99% of people I know as an American don’t own one
Wait, does the rest of the US not have these?
Saw: Dream Warriors please
For real, this. The remake was bad? Oh no, good thing the original is probably still very accessible over multiple platforms these days.
You ask me, the problem with remakes is that the industry isn’t focusing on games that aren’t as easily available and could genuinely benefit a lot from a facelift and some tweaks under the hood. Stuff like Parasite Eve, where the original media also feels sort of timely or relevant.
Just name your kids after your richest favorite relatives and wait for that sweet sweet inheritance dosh to come your way
Someone turn on the batsignal fr
I was wondering if I’d see another agoraphobe in here
I don’t really have anything else to add, been diagnosed for years and still workingonit
It’s the only way to be sure.
