Yea, that's the one(Sunshine)!
It was cheap and it was recommended so I picked it up & will probably check it out this weekend.

Heck yea, I'm all over that too. From what alot of the fans of the book are saying, the theatrical ending is pretty controversial by itself. The ending is quite different from the book, actually... a lot of the movie is...but the more I see this movie, the more I enjoy it for what it is and the more I think Will Smith is THE MAN for carrying this movie almost all by himself. (I kinda already own a copy of the DVD and have seen it 5 times now)

I had a quick question for you guys, IllinoisGuy inparticular-have you considered switching over to the Blu-ray or HD-DVD format? A few of us have some pretty large DVD collections, and the thought of going to another format gives me mixed feelings- I was just curious what you all thought....

I feel that we've discussed this before, but do ya have 'Undeclared' as well? Great series!

I'm pretty sure he's in a few of them. I think his fiance/wife was there too. Kyle is wearing a Yoda mask in one of the scenes while we were all in line for Episode I and his bro is sitting right next to him.

LOL.
Gives a whole new meaning to the 'Yellow Brick Road".

As I go back to check the site, they have updated saying that there was no residue found on the rolled up bill.

Happy Merry Day of Birth!!! I hope it was an awesome day for you Anne!!

Wow, that is just shocking.
Watching the "Dark Knight" will be just eerie now.
Just like watching "The Crow" after Brandon Lee had died...

Man, that's crazy- I'm in the same boat as you. All my new DVDs are laying in mixed stacks in one room, while all my organized ones are in two others. :doh:

I found an easter egg on the Family Guy DVD that is a teaser for the next Star Wars Special called, "Something, Something, Something, Darkside".

When I saw Cloverfield yesterday, they had trailers for 'Jumper', 'Star Trek', and 'Iron Man'. Good Ol' Anakin and Mace Windu are in Jumper and I think it looked kinda cool.
I'm not a huge Star Trek fan, but I'm definitely not one of these Star Wars diehards that despises Trekkies and thinks that you're only allowed to like one Saga. I have seen all the movies and I would really like to give the new ST a chance.
Iron Man looked a little cheesy as expected, but at the same time, my inner comic-book-fanboy got all excited. Robert Downey Jr might actually give Tony Stark some character. 

Well, I originally planned on seeing this tonight,
but I got outta work early today and snuck off to see it while Jacen was still in school.
I just wanted to make a few quick points-and there's probably gonna be a few mild spoilers so proceed with caution.
Those sketches are pretty close to what the 'thing' looks like. Those lil 'sacs' on the side of his head inflate/deflate as he breathes which looks pretty cool. It's really hard to get a good look at the thing throughout the movie, as they kinda tease you throughout, but towards the end, you get a good look at his face/torso . A friend of mine asked me today what the monster looked like and I really couldn't think of anything to compare it to-it's like a combination of different beasts yet has a unique quality all it's own.
As far as the movie goes, I must say I really enjoyed it. The visuals were great-you truly felt like you were in the middle of this attack and witnessing the destruction of New York City. The motion of the camera didn't bother me one bit-sure, there's a lot of shaky photography and quick cuts and movement, but it didn't throw off the flow of the movie at all in my opinion. I remember when I saw the Blair Witch in the theaters and as I was walking out, I could hear one person after another complaining about motion sickness-I was 'too into' this film for that to even be an issue. The acting wasn't blow-you-away spectacular, but it was a much better job than your typical monster movie acting. There was some good humor thrown in as well.
At the end of the film, I couldn't help but wonder, Where did the monster come from? What is the monster? What happened to him? What is Cloverfield? What happened to their friend that was bit? But despite having some loose ends(as expected since we're only seeing one point of view) I had fun watching this.
I look forward to reading everyone else's thoughts too once they see this.

oh, and watch out!! The Monster has fleas!!
