Just watched Cloverfield. My God, those people were literally too stupid to live.

Now I want to make a sock Cloverfield monster.

On a more serious note, do you know what bothered me? The whole time I was watching that, I kept thinking, "It took them three days to evacuate 20,000 out of New Orleans after Katrina, and they emptied the island of Manhattan in mere hours!!!" I don't know if I was angered by the extreme amount of disbelief suspension expected of me, or that - if this were to actually happen - they probably would manage to evacuate Manhattan in a few hours. Grrr. I am glad all those pretty skinny people died.

I think it helped that a lot of the locals were crushed, dumped into the river, bitten by asplodey crabdogs, or eaten.

Also, the evacuation of New Orleans was handled by incompetent, negligent idiots, while Cloverfield was handled by a scriptwriter and the movie army.
