Where the Wild Things Are
6 July 2007 by jaksoulSolace in cinema is just about my favourite movieblog.
Somehow managing to blend just the right about of geekiness, with a healthy cynicism for most hollywood fare I seem to be interested in most of the things he posts. Being a regular on the site has the distinct advantage of seeing latest trailers and hearing snippets about films I had no idea I was just about to be mildly obsessed with. I say mildly*, that was ‘before cloverfield‘ (or simply ‘the film’ as it will now be known).
So far, we’ve got a shaky videophone version of the trailer and a gradually unfolding set of blogs and youtube clips all designed, it seems, with the sole intention of replacing the ‘reason’ part of my brain with a big inflatable balloon and a desperate, insatiable appetite for the very same kind of vaporous internet hyperbole that gets me like a kid who’s drunk too much squash every two/three months.
It’s all very pattern recognition / I love bees which in itself would be a little bit tiresome if it wasn’t for the fact that the trailer looks so freakin dope. It’s a JJ Abrams production (maker of Lost) so the worry is ‘all premise no payoff’, but right now (well until tomorrow’s obsession) it’s got me more excited than any movie trailer I can remember.
If a The Call of Cthulhu referencing, Blair Witch meets Godzilla, end of the world monster movie doesn’t float your boat, maybe this will. New-(ish) from dj cosmo and jeff buckley collaborator Gary Lucas.
Have a great weekend.
