The Exhibitionist: Theatrical Inappropriateness of 'Cloverfield'

Jan 27th 2008 11:01PM (Cinematical)
This was a stupid article. I don't consider Cloverfield a "youtube generation" movie just because it was shot to look like its from a camcorder. Would Blair Witch or Man Bites Dog be "web 2.0" style if they came out today? Cloverfield is supposed to play like a documentary in real time. Since documentaries never look as good as big hollywood productions, should we not see those in a theater as well?

From the Editor's Desk: Wouldn't it be Great ...

This is ridiculous. Who cares if some Christians are offended by a movie, Isn't it their right to not see it? From my point of view, its you, the small minded people offended that someone exercised their right to choose that is disturbing. You're all hypocrites, you'll complain about the lack of parental guidance when adults take kids to an R rated film or something inappropriate. Now when the parents are actually making decisions about what their kids should watch, they're the bad guys.

No one is going to watch this movie and become an atheist as a result. The real issue is that some people may not want their young children exposed to the messages and themes of a movie if they believe it’s inappropriate. Arguing the existence of God is not something someone under 13 (maybe older?) is going to really comprehend. Trying to force an alternative belief system on a kid is going to do more harm than good, it'll be that child's choice of what to believe in when he is ready to make that decision. It seems to me that everyone is really upset that there are Christians raising their children to be Christians!

I feel bad for the fans of the books because the lack of a faithful adaptation (no pun intended) It's bullshit that Hollywood feels the need to water down the source material to please people who aren't going to like it anyways. Finally, Erik, did you happen to see the final scene of that South Park episode? I think Stone and Parker made it clear they support people believing in whatever religion if it makes them happy and it doesn’t hurt others. Erik, as the mormon kid said in the end: "suck my balls"
