Today is the Day

This a weird little photo story I found through digg.

It's a really good idea. (I'm going to try it one day soon)

Cloverfield


Woah.




This movie was amazing and super engaging. This style of filming, the viewpoint of a hand-held camcorder, is wild. I am having a hard time collecting my thoughts today so I am just going to list my thoughts on this movie.

  • If you get motion sick easy, wait until it comes out on DVD and watch it in pieces. It'll be so worth it.
  • Kings of Leon have 2 songs in the party scene in the beginning! Kings of Leon are the best! (Download On Call, Molly's Chambers, or Fans)
  • I loved the ambiguity. You know nothing the WHOLE time.
  • I really liked the way they developed the characters in the beginning. It was like they weren't even trying to build the characters. It really felt like a normal home-video.
  • It was short. If that movie was any longer, people would've been having seizures in the aisles.
  • The language was not that bad. It was there when it was appropriate, and not when it was unneeded.
  • The monster did not look like Godzilla. Thank you! It resembled the whole Godzilla theme enough. If it looked anymore like Godzilla, I would kung fu-ed J. J. Abrams. (see below)
  • Speaking of J. J. Abrams, way to go J. J. That movie is just another notch on your belt. Congrats! When The Office starts back up again, please do another one!
  • I loved how I felt like I was controlling the camcorder the whole time. It really put you in the movie.

SUPER BOWL: Who's the real MVP?

The Giants Coaching Staff.

An unstoppable Patriots offense was stagnant Sunday against a hungry Giants defense. When you think of great defenses this year, the Giants aren't the first ones in mind. Well, until this game.

The Giants defense played like the 2000 Baltimore Ravens or the 2006 Chicago Bears. They were relentless all game long. The D-Line was great against a normally great Pats O-Line. Poor Tom Brady was on his back most of the game. I say "poor Tom Brady," but I don't really feel bad for him. He got a taste of his own medicine in this Super Bowl. All season long Brady frustrated and destroyed every opponent he faced. He caused frustration and losses everywhere he went. Well Tom, now you know how you made everyone else in the league feel. Brady got frustrated early in the game and he never recovered. He never lost his will-to-win, but he did lose his cool. And it reflected in the way he played; his passes were off, he was slow in the pocket and his vision was shaky. Another important teammate seemed to lose his spark as well. Randy Moss had a couple of passes that could've really changed the outcome in this game, but he didn't seem as anxious to get physical and grab the ball. The two most important players on the defending Championship team were not in the game. The Giants defense are to blame, especially their coaching staff.
