@ Rich, I don’t understand why you agreed with what I said and then continued to say “Anonymous” has a point. I didn’t really understand what you wrote. So, I apologize if I came off as insulting.

Anyway… Luis is literally the last person I would be rude to here so what I meant by blockbuster was that it is the highest grossing film of any January release. Also thanks a lot Jen, you’re right actually. Considering how V for Vendetta, Blood Diamond, and The Lord of the Rings among others happen to be in my Top 5 of all time.

You guys are being ridiculous. It seems Jason is into big budget money-makers (i.e. Cloverfield, the Dark Knight) and not into movies that get deep into human emotion like Revolutionary Road, The Wrestler, and Milk (although DK did do some awesome work with the Joker’s psyche).

That isn’t necessarily a bad thing.

Ever thought about going to a store and say â€œoh you know that dvd looks interesting, maybe I should check it outâ€.

Yes, because the MAJORITY of people do that…. “Anonymous” has a point, most people watch a movie because it was referred. I don’t see how his pointing that how give him a sub par IQ? And if you’re tying to ignore him, why the fuck is your comment to him the longest one here?

haha, last time i checked Cloverfield was a flop. A Hyped flop. It opened at #1 with $40M, but its only made $80M overall. I think a “blockbuster” would at least break the $150-200M range.

I think I might refrain from making a Best Movies of 2009 list next year. =P

Dude, when you can find a film that has a personal videocam viewpoint turned Blockbuster then you can reply to me. A movie isn’t only about a story, its about how you tell a story that matters the most. Also if that were the case, it would be pointless to have an award issued for original picture, because technically nothing would ever really be that original.

Also what you said in the last part about being mindless. Ever thought about going to a store and say “oh you know that dvd looks interesting, maybe I should check it out”. That really was a dumb question, you should think before you post crap. How would it sounded if I said “how do you find [x] person?” do these things just materialize out of thin air? I guess so.

Cloverfield isn’t the only movie I’ve watched this year, I also watched the likely candidates for the Oscars as well and to be honest its like the same story year after year about Love, War and Peace. The Dark Knight was definitely a breath of fresh air. But if people like a certain movie and you don’t, you should just fuck off and move along. Your IQ appears to be sub par so I will try to ignore you if possible.
