I think the mundane perspective and ordinary characters were meant to ground the movie. Most kaiju movies follow elite scientists or squads of soldiers so it’s a bit easier to relate to regular people just bumbling around (and a lot cheaper to film).
See, this is what got me into the theater for Cloverfield, I wanted this movie. It’s a bummer I got it in the form of some particularly jittery found footage. I was hoping for something more akin to those goofy disaster movies, but the disaster is a kaiju; not just in tone, but in how it was shot. As you say, some more spectacle would have gone a long way. That, or to really drill down and get into the “human horror” aspect and maybe make the military/authority figures more antagonistic.
All in all, I guess I’m glad Cloverfield succeeded despite my personal feelings because we got 10 Cloverfield Lane which, while not without problems of its own, I enjoyed much more

Seconding an electric kettle, even a cheap one was a game changer over not having one at all. Crazy how 99.99% of people I know as an American don’t own one

If I were allowed some creative direction, I would specify that unless it was there in the source material there will be zero scenes of people just explaining shit instead of showing it
For real, this. The remake was bad? Oh no, good thing the original is probably still very accessible over multiple platforms these days.
You ask me, the problem with remakes is that the industry isn’t focusing on games that aren’t as easily available and could genuinely benefit a lot from a facelift and some tweaks under the hood. Stuff like Parasite Eve, where the original media also feels sort of timely or relevant.

I was wondering if I’d see another agoraphobe in here
I don’t really have anything else to add, been diagnosed for years and still workingonit
Been told almost verbatim the same thing, no idea what it means either. Friend in question said they knew me for years before they were able to notice it.
A merry fellow, of course, he says so right in his song
iamtrashman1312 interested, how compare against contemporary interpretation?
Numbers after iamtrashman1312 name follow 1=A format. iamtrashman1312 dislike police, adopt certain phrase numerical parallel for name. Words just line from meme always make iamtrashman1312 laugh.
Man, here’s hoping the place takes off. Commenting so we can get some visibility!
Agreed. I was a long time lurker but I’m trying to contribute to conversations to help grow the space: bots don’t help grow the space; they only clog it up. If someone didn’t care enough to find a conversion formula or whatever, they probably don’t care that much about the result either. All of that right there would add up to a 3-4 comment string that added nothing.
Good to know, thanks!
