I'm a turd
I am going to get back to the reviews soon I swear. I know you don't really care cause I have gotten zero feedback on it, but it is a quest and I will finish.....eventually.

Story time!

So I am off to the movies last night with my much heralded "free movie pass" that I got after months of use on my Regal Cinemas Card. Which is free to sign up for, but you need to pay for like 3000 movies before you get a free movie pass. Anyways, I was excited to go see Cloverfield after the good job they did hyping the mysterious monster.
.I was told that there would "no monster for you!, NEXT!" because for some reason, you could not use a free movie pass on Cloverfield. Of course, I wanted to get into this issue further with the ticket girl, but with a line of peeps behind me that was 20 deep, I refuse to be the guy that hold up a line for a complaint that won't get changed anyway. So I then quickly picked Juno, because that was the next best movie I would be willing to see. I was on my way to the designated Juno theatre when all of a sudden it dawned on me that I didn't have to see Juno if I didn't want to, I could just walk in to Cloverfield and no one would know! Way to go Einstein!
.
I was actually upset with myself for being such a consumer drone to let "The Man" stick it to me like that. What happened to my rebellious youth!? I used to I didn't even give anything other than Juno a second thought!
.Anyway, I prevailed, and for the entire previews, I was actually nervous an usher was going to come in and ask to see my ticket. It was weird. I had no reason to feel guilty or in the wrong. I paid for the movie (with my hard earned coupon, but non-the-less paid) and I was old enough for the PG-13 rating, so there was no reason for them to deny me seeing this movie.
.Unfourtunatly, God must have had some problem with me doing what I did, for he smited me. He smited me with a movie in which the creative team decided it would be a good idea to shoot in entirety from the point of view of a character with a hand-held camcorder. I broke out into a cold sweat and started to feel extremely nauseus at the one hour mark. I had to leave before I tossed my chicken all over the theatre.

Thankfully, I am not the only one God chose to smite because apparently a bunch of people have felt the same effects. I bet they used their coupon on Juno too.

I had the same problem! I spent half the movie with my head in my hands repeating "will not be sick. will not be sick." Grabbing a stick of mint gum helped a little but I still had to watch selectively (taking a "close my eyes" break every minute or so). I've heard that if you rent it it shouldn't make you so sick, but I don't know if I'll risk it. I really think they could have still done the handheld camera view while making it way less jerky. Vom.
