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
You’re not an English speaking troll yourself, “shortest hanging fruit” headass
You couldn’t even keep your lunatic sentence structure and shit up for two whole comments? They breed the trolls weak these days, man
No one is grading your troll post on word count my guy

Speaking to a few stories my dad’s told me over the years, sometimes you’re just a rural dumbass, have a large thing to get rid of, and want a big splash for your amusement
Came here to say the same. I feel like “indoor shoes” are a lot more rare in places where you have a chance of tracking in snow
“Wolves of Chernobyl” is a song by Municipal Waste, already
but what a way to go, huh? “torn apart by mutant wolves” is a pretty metal death

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
it sounds like We Need to Talk About Kevin
Unrelated to much in the way of the article, but the middle tier of anime poisoned with cubism actually looks sorta cool
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.
