Also, the “snowmen” don’t look like snowmen – they look like fat babies that can stand up and wave, and that someone has spooged on (the frosting).

But Cloverfield Monster Goes Apeshit was the perfect movie for me to get to see, because now every time one of our swamp-ass customers comes in and wants a Sal-Tee the Snowman I can imagine the Cloverfield monster biting their goddamn heads off.

And yes, in the movie, the Cloverfield monster bites off some fucking heads. Only you get to see it from a way you don’t normally get to see heads getting bitten off, so basically the movie – which I’m just going to call Cloverfield for the rest of this review because typing out that long-ass title is pee-hole – basically makes other head-biting-off-movies look like Georgia Rule with a peppermint cock in its ass.

The movie starts off really shitty though, with all this stuff about a young couple that’s in love, and she’s hot and he’s hot and I’m all like, “Who’s filming the Ambercrombie and Fitch catalogue?”

But then it’s like the movie heard you calling it a pussy so it puts on its dick-stomping boots and then surprises your dick with a punch from a fist wearing a cock-punch glove.

Things just don’t get scary – they get FUCKED UP. And I mean fucked up like the whole movie’s shot through a hand-held video camera, so you feel like this is happening to you (apparently, the video camera was recovered by the government, so at the beginning of the movie, when you’re told this, you think, “Man, something bad must’ve happened to whoever filmed this”, and you imagine a lot of shit, but then when you get to what ACTUALLY HAPPENS you’re like, “Fuck you, imagination, this was ten times worse than I thought” and then to get back at you your imagination makes you think about 2 Girls 1 Cup if Rhea Perlman and Edith Bunker were the girls)

So here’s the story: a monster attacks News York City.

But that’s not the fucked-up part.

The monster RIPS THE LIVING SHIT out of the city, and everyone in its path. It’s like the Iraq War and Hurricane Katrina and Kathy Griffin’s vagina combined and turned into a giant murder-beast and it’s hungry for every hip person in Manhattan.

Which is another cool thing about the movie – everyone that’s getting eaten are like characters you see in those annoying movies that are always on IFC and Fagdance. Movies with titles like Thinkin’ ‘Bout Being Sad and Zoe Gets a Latte and 2 Bedrooms, 1 Bath and a Whole Bunch of Cock-fucks Running Their Mouths.

And if that wasn’t bad enough, the giant monster starts rubbing itself on buildings, and then stuff falls off it’s gross body and crawls the fuck away – only the crawling-away stuff doesn’t stay away for long, if you know what I mean.

And then – and THEN – and I mean, at this point, the movie’s like a speed freak yelling at you, as if the giant monster and the things crawling away weren’t bad enough, there’s a third, even more messed-up thing the monster can do to a person, which I won’t spoil ‘cuz it made me kind of sick and the people on this website are the kind of assholes who’d come in to the W.P. at two minutes before I have to clean the cinnamon nets and order ten Sal-Tees so fuck everyone, so maybe you’ll see it and get sick and not want a Sal-Tee and I can go the fuck home.

Also, I don’t know if the movie-makers are looking for poster quotes, but this movie is like a pussy that eats YOU out.

So, here’s my final thoughts:

The good: Monster fucking everything sideways, creepy-crawly things fucking everything that’s still not fucked, indie movie characters getting eaten and mutilated before they can talk about coffee or e-mails or their feelings.

The bad: Smarty-pants story-telling shit where the video you’re watching has un-recorded bits where you see the hero’s relationship a few weeks back, before the monster shows up. Except then there’s this final shot (from the flashback section) that’s actually kind of awesome ‘cuz it’s this very sweet, sunshine-y shot of something, except at that point you’re thinking some really bad thoughts about what the shot represents.

The shitty: I had a long dream about the male star of the movie two nights after I saw this, where we both had shirts off and he was helping me do sit-ups. So fuck this movie for that part.

This review is brought to you by the same guy whose made two official petitions - one for Hugh Jackman to change his name legally to "Wolverine Fuck Yeah," and the other to get the name of The Matrix Reloaded title changed to "Matrix Project Kick Ass."

Kat and I are going to go see it probably Sunday (we both work) but yeah, that review made it sound alot more interesting.

Bells 01-17-2008 11:17 PM

actually, after what i've seen of this.. that sounds about right

RickZarber 01-18-2008 02:12 AM

Just wow.

I was so afraid this was gonna suck, but I gotta say: worth the wait. Not worth all the hours of speculation, because coming out you don't know much more than going in. But damn, what a movie. It's gotta be the 1st person POV, or maybe because I really saw myself in Hud, the cameraman, but I can't remember ever seeing a movie that sucked me in as much as this one. I feel like I've been running around New York all night. I can't wait to hear if you guys liked it.

EDIT: I gotta say, too, if you're thinking, I'll just wait for the DVD, please reconsider. This is a movie meant to be seen on a screen way bigger than you are, with a big crowd of people around you to yell, "HOLY SHIT!" at the appropriate moments.

Now if you'll excuse me, I've gotta go to bed and sleep never sleep again.

What if you're thinking I'll wait until it's on HBO or Showtime or something then watch it if I'm bored or maybe have it going in the background?

RickZarber 01-18-2008 02:53 AM

I don't think you'd find it as enjoyable. But as it doesn't sound like you're all that interested one way or the other, I'd say that's your choice and who knows, maybe you'll do just that and think, hey, this isn't half bad.

Or maybe you'll change the channel after ten minutes. *shrug*

In any case, I liked it, and would recommend it to others.

Professor Smarmiarty 01-18-2008 05:02 AM

Went to see it because my gf wanted to and I personally hated it.
It was just like watching someone play a videogame. Yeah not really what I want from a movie.
But I'm not really a fan of the genre at all so I'm probably not the best reviewer.

POS Industries 01-18-2008 10:21 PM

They are not showing it in my town.

What the fuck is 27 Dresses and why the fuck is it playing here instead?!

Daimo Mac, The Blue Light of Hope 01-18-2008 10:22 PM

I saw it today. It was good. Really good and the use of the HandiCam style of shooting really worked for the style of film. There was defiantly some oh shit moments and that monster was freaking scary.
