    okay, - - - ouch. i'm pretty sure we were just talking about stylistically (is that a word) not content-wise. the style of camera movement, etc.

    I can tell from the commercials that Cloverfield was filmed better. you can actually see what's going on.

    We were. That's not why I hate TBWP, though. I hate it because the people were annoying and their constant bickering put me in a bad mood. Literally.
    It'll take a lot more than words and guns,
    A whole lot more than riches and muscle.

    The hands of the many must join as one.
    And together we'll cross the river.

It destroys the oil platform, moved north along the coast when it encounters a fallen satellite covered with alien parasites which then attach to Clover, enraging it...this is when it finds New York City.
    Where did you hear this from? As far as I know, J.J. just stated the part in bold. I'm not sure where you found the other parts.

    Watched Cloverfield during the week on DVD and loved it. Wished now I had seen it in the cinema. Loved the fast pace of the film and the ending was brilliant.

    Yeah, it's really bumming me out. I started watching it in bed after the Super Bowl, but fell asleep. I will finish it soon.

    I'm not hearing good things unfortunately.

    I didn't *hate* Paradox but its my least favorite of the three movies.

    Spoiler:
    I really liked the ending. Reminded me of the end of Life which i thought was pretty cool.

    Haven't watched this yet, but apparently there will be a fourth movie in the series later this year. I find this franchise very cool. And coolest of all is the end titles theme from the original, which is just one of the best pieces of movie score ever:

    I haven't finished watching Paradox yet, but what bugs me is that they found a screenplay on a shelf and were like, "Hey, let's just make this a Cloverfield movie. People know the word Cloverfield and will go see it." Then somewhere along the line they were like, "Fuck it, let's just sell it to Netflix and get some money back."
