make it like the movies

this evening randall and i sat down to watch cloverfield (yes i've read the reviews, yes i know a lot of people hate it, but i do like jj abrams and feel like i should make this decision on my own). unfortunately i can't tell you what i think about it. we got it from netflix, and watched 60 of the 84 minutes (you read that right, there are only 84 minutes in this film), when the dvd decided it no longer wanted to play. we tried again and made it to minute 62. then we tried again and made it to minute 70. randall is determined to make it work, so maybe in an hour or so, i will have finally seen the whole thing. until then so far i'll say "sa'ight" - although truth be told now that the lights are back on and it's no longer like the movies, i'm kinda over it.

the scale in that movie changes too much for me to enjoy...

It's one of those giant screen theater movies... it does not hold up at home at all.

btw Neon+Ira will be in SF June 5-6th! We're going to that Academy of Science museum Friday and then hanging out Saturday doing whatever.

i don't think you can stream it (that's my preferred choice, i feel like i would've just done that), but we finally finished it. how is it that the actual film (minus credits) is only 74 minutes long?! and yes, i bet it would've been better on a big screen. once the lights were all back on, i totally didn't care anymore.

so hey, can we reserve some neon ira party time?! i'll email.

and dk, thanks!
