Harry Knowles Says Cloverfield is Brilliant
Thursday, January 10th, 2008 @ 9:19 pm
I know I’ve publicly been anti-Cloverfield over the mystery name issue. I still think the whole name secrecy was a load of crap but Harry Knowles has screened the movie and says it’s brilliant.
Harry is a pretty opinionated guy and if he sees crap before him he will call it crap. I trust in his movie criticisms so if he says this movie rocks it defiantly makes me interested. I still don’t have the same eagerness for Cloverfield as I did last summer, but now I’m at least interested in putting up the 12 bucks to see it this month.
Here is what he had to say about Cloverfield.
Having seen the film, I can tell you – I have completely forgotten the marketing. I no longer care why the film is titled CLOVERFIELD, I don’t think it has a secret meaning – other than the fact that the movie that the marketing would lead you to, if it will… will knock your cinema-going mind into the floor of the theater.
…
Well, I’ve just come home from watching CLOVERFIELD. The security on me and my wife for seeing this movie was un-frickin-believable. I suppose some would have the temptation to snap a pic of the monster and send it out online to end, forever, the “mystery” – but folks… there’s no mystery.
The movie is fucking brilliant. It’s what we were told it was going to be. An intimate perspective on an impossibly grand scale human disaster beyond most human levels of comprehension.

I don’t trust him at all. I hope the movie is good, but Harry has some shit opinions. I knew he was full of crap after he had his mind blown by the last Pirates of the Caribbean wreck.

Really? lol
I missed his review and that movie as well.
The main thing I don’t trust are his “anonymous scoopers.”
Unless I see a name attached to what is being quoted I wont buy it,Half the time when I see something from an anon-scooper on AICN I think it is just their best guess at what the movie is going to be about.
Maybe some anon-scoopers can drop by the cave sometime.

Yeah, but when you run the “scoop” and hit the news wires then you look like a moron when it proves false. I’ve seen it happen to a game site on the network I work with.
