    CLOVERFIELD was released 17 years ago today. A hark back to the classic monster b-movie, and the film that launched the career of director Matt Reeves, the story of how it came to be is big enough to destroy an entire city… 1/39

    Movie Trailers Are Killing Movies. > A great movie trailer can single handedly turn a movie into a success story--like that genius Cloverfield trailer in 2007 that didn't say what the title of the movie was. But it's more common these days, I'd argue, for a trailer to have the opposite impact. A generic trailer can so thoroughly dampen hype for a film that something like Furiosa, a great movie everybody likes that's a sequel to a great movie everybody likes, could become a major box office…

    I love it when you find someplace on Google Street View that has been weirdly missed for a long time. Like, right now part of the view of Paramount Studios is from 2016, so you get signs for "Everybody Wants Some," "The Big Short," "10 Cloverfield Lane," and a Ninja Turtles movie.

    You know what movie holds up? Cloverfield. And in retrospect everyone's complaints about the characters sound really misguided. It's possible the filmmakers thought they'd created fascinating ppl, but it's more interesting, if not likely, to treat the characters' inadequateness as the *point*

    If you're looking for good movies that move around similar "trapped in one location" concepts: VIVARIUM (2019). Brilliant 5/5. 10 CLOVERFIELD LANE (2016). Underrated IMO. CUBE (1997). Old-school indie awesome. BRICK (2025). Flawed but interesting German film (& the closest in concept to TLH)

    Looked up the director, and can't say I have seen anything beyond Cloverfield Paradox, which didn't wow me. So maybe hiring someone who didn't really do any work for 4 years didn't make an interesting movie? This whole project seems like someone hated Falcon and Winter Soldier and vowed to make it so terrible that no one will ever watch it again. It seemed like an easy bunt of a movie: Make a 90s political thriller (like they did with Winter Soldier) and call it a day. Yet here we are, a…

    *The Blair Witch Project* often catches hate, but in it's time it was pretty fucking wild. The real-life stress of the actors shines through. Yeah, the ending though. All I remember was the theater collectively expressing, "Uh. What?" and filing out quietly. *Cloverfield* was another good one at the time, if you could stand the shaky cam.
