Re: HTF DVD REVIEW: Cloverfield


Quote:
Surprisingly, the trailer for Cloverfield is not present on this disc.
That is unsurprising to me (many DVDs these days omit trailers), but in the case of Cloverfield it is articularly disappointing. I would have loved to see a documentary about the marketing of the film - the way it came out of nowhere with a surprise trailer on Transformers, the lack of an officially known title for so long, the way they used the supplementary websites not just to build up excitement for the film (say in the way Dark Knight is), but to actually attract people trying to figure out just what 1.18.08 actually was. This would have made a good place to discuss all that, but unfortunately not.



AFI Top 100 lists:
100 Movies, 100 Thrills - Completed
100 Laughs - 25 to go - last seen: Bull Durham
100 Passions - 39 to go - last seen: Breakfast At Tiffany's
100 Heroes & Villains - 10 to go - last seen: Tom Powers in The Public Enemy
100 Songs - 45 to go - last seen: "Moon River" from Breakfast At Tiffany's
100 Quotes - 19 to go - last seen: "Toga! Toga!" in Animal House
100 Years of Film Scores - 3 to go - last seen: How the West Was Won
100 Cheers - 43 to go - last seen: Philadelphia

TOTAL (458 movies) - 146 to go - My AFI movie list here.
