Edit: Movie Review
Watched CLOVERFIELD last night, and it was such a mixed bag. You'd think it'd be awesome. Written by a guy who was a regular Buffy/Angel writer who now writes for Lost. Produced by JJ Abrams of Lost fame. Directed by some asshole, but anyways, it was just "hmm." It's basically a monster movie ala Godzilla. But the whole gimmick of it is that the whole movie is from the POV of this dudes camcorder from beginning to end. So it's SUPER shaky-cam. If you can't handle that, then forget about it. But, visually it works (in a Blair Witch but more refined sorta way.) There's some really awesome scenes you catch glimpses of as these people run throughout New York trying to escape the monster. Shit like, they turn a corner and you see troops n shit fighting the monster. Looks cool. What's "mix-baggy" about it? Oh my god, the characters are the WORST. I totally thought it was parody but then I watched some of the special features and no, these people were all into the story. Worthless story. Dumbest characters you've ever seen, and you pretty much insta-hate every single one of them from minute 1. So that's what made it hard to recommend. If you can go into it not minding that the whole time you're following a group of utter retards, then there's some cool shit in it.


Rock Band Nerdiness:
Target has 1600 xbux cards on sale for $15 bucks this week, so that's $5 off. I bought a couple and got a couple of songs for RB. I'm holding off on the Cars album - I like most of the songs, but the drum tracks don't really blow me away. Bought the Blondie song "Hanging on the Telephone" though, and that's a great song. Not much to add... Also bought UNO because there's always multiplayer games for it. It's like a poor-man's Techu. Fun, but seems kinda weaksauce vs some of the awesome card games us gamers all know and love.
