In the jungle!???

A truly classic comedy scene.... i love that line "In the jungle!?????" Very sample-able!






And while we're at it.... here's another amazing one. The League of gentlemen vs 2001:a Space Odyssey. I saw this ta the Glade festival a few years ago before Hexstatics amazing VJ/DJ show.

Cloverfield

____________Sweaty _/ _____________ hot _/ __hot also_/

Yes! Excellent 9/11 reference done in the Blair Witch style. I saw this with Jason and a mate of his and I think we all agreed that it dragged us through the screen by the hair. Great pace, great effects, great story. Dialogues a bit ropey, character development not amazing.... but then again it's a self-confessed youtube generation film and so we don't care about character too much. The embedded action and hints at horror were just right... a perfect Godzilla for the times. By the way, everyone should see the original Godzilla - a rather underated these days anti-war/disaster movie.


There could well be a sequel and I hope there is and lots of them - perhaps showing more survivor footage, maybe showing the government strategy, the aftermath, the cause.... or whatever. As longs its as big, as hyper-real and as scarey.


Some web folks also a said that the film looked a lot like the Half-Life game - good point.


Warning... moster revealed below....
Hey, he's not so scarey!
