Hmm…maybe I overstate. To take nothing away from the scripts or performances (I may kick at Cloverfield a bit, but actually liked D9), the hand-held camerawork got to be extreme at times – almost as if to add realism or “intensity”, the DoC would have the crew jostle the camera more than necessary. On a big screen, it was tough to watch after a while.

Then again, I’m overdrawn on my “opinion account” for all the $0.02 charges I keep throwing in, so if you dig the style, good on you. Maybe my vision is getting crappy in my old age. =)

Oh. I can see that, I thought you meant they were crappy movies in general. I was like “whaaaaaaaaaaaaat”

Cloverfield was maddening to try to watch. I was all right with D9.

Heh – noooo, you’ll know when I start taking swings at a film for its awfulness, because I’ll revert to by coding style, like <crap>Twilight</crap>, or <crap>Anything Starring Rob Schnieder in a Lead Role</crap>.
