Evidently I'm back in the blogging mood and I like to blog about movies. Go figure.
This post is just a quick warning to anyone thinking about going to watch Cloverfield: If you are susceptible to motion sickness, you may want to save your money. What you see in the trailers is consistent with the feel of the whole movie.
I tried to go today and I had to leave the theater probably less than 30 minutes into the movie. If either of the last two Bourne movies made you at all queasy, you will not be able to watch Cloverfield. If you've ever gotten sick from playing a video game or reading in the car, this movie will make you puke. It's an interesting concept, but unfortunately, I couldn't even finish it. Josh and Jake finished the movie, but I think Jake felt sick the rest of the day.
There, I've done my duty and you've been warned. Transfer coin to right pocket...now.

Yes, it was pretty hard to watch. I noticed at least 7 people leave the theater I was at within the first 30 or 40 minutes.
Recommendations that will make it easier to watch:
1. Don't go late at night (being tired tends to make it worse).
2. Sit on the back row.
Or, do like my wife did (who's really bad with motion sickness): Watch the movie with your peripheral vision. Yeah... that kinda ruins the experience.
Great movie though!
I told all my friends back home to sit as far back as possible. My one friend emailed me with all these little things he noticed that I had no clue about because we sat so close.
I thought it was a pretty cool movie, extreme-shakey cam and all.
