If your intent with the original suggestion to "troll" the writer was humor, then you should tag your post or comment as [HUMOR] or pick a different icon instead of the evil grin.

Remember, online we cannot use body language or voice inflection to descern if you are being serious or joking.

Hugs!

Well, I know in my area, at least, there are maybe three theaters left that are running Cloverfield, and only with one or two times available.

IMO, Cloverfield had a big bang, and sort of faded away.

Cloverfield was the highest grossing film for the month of January of all time beating out Star Wars Special Editon in 1997. It's rare for records older than a decade to be broken, but this one was.

That's a record for the Paste journalist to look up.

Guys, i think he's being sarcastic. And doing a poor job at it.

Kinda like saying "The Oscars awarded a little movie called "Titanic." Big surprise."

I remember seeing that link at 1-18-08news. Thanks for bringing it to the forums, Richie!

The writer did seem to have a sarcastic tone, but what puzzles me is why he didn't make it more apparent in the article. Maybe in the future he won't use this style to avoid angry emails Laughing

Yeah, I got that he was laughing as he wrote it. I thought the sarcasm was directed at Paramount for making such an obvious move as creating a sequel or maybe that he had to report on it. The scorn was probably directed at Paramount for doing something so predictable. Perhaps he wishes that Paramount undertook riskier movies or tried to make art.

I straight up slammed that dude for his article, and about two hours later i got a reply from him giving me a different link to an actual review for the movie from that online magazine PASTE, and then like 2 minutes later i check in on 1-18-08news.com, and the guy who posted the link up there right below the words GET YOUR SKINNIN KNIVES OUT FELLAZ posts and tells me that i was too harsh and that there was an actual review of the movie giving it praise. Much thanks, lol. And no, im not butthurt or anything, i could care less cuz i love doin that typa stuff to people who have no clue, just wanna give a shoutout to the guy that posted that link. You rock.
