Cloverfield was our first bad Netflix film in a while. I didn't like anything about it.
It started with a hand-held camera recording a party with a bunch of obnoxious, boring people. Then a Godzilla-like creature attacks and we watch some of the obnoxious, boring people try to escape.
I didn't care.
Film fail.

Finding Good Lines in Unexpected Places Part Two
Last week we watched the movie, "The Manster Half Man and Half Monster" (1959.) I only heard of this movie from the book, The Golden Turkey Awards. It was nominated for The Worst Two-Headed Transplant Movie Ever Made but lost to the classic, "The Thing with Two Heads" starring Academy Award winning actor, Ray Milland.
Now I love good bad movies, such as "Plan 9 from Outer Space" so I had to record this film from TCM. Surprisingly I found some good things in this film.
First, the lead actor Peter Dyneley as Larry Stanford was charming and effective. I believed his brash reporter was ready to leave his globetrotting ways and go home to his wife.
The second thing I liked--the title to this post refers to a line by Larry when his wife Linda suggests that he might be ready to settle down (and after his transformation into the manster has started) "Settle down, like mud in a pool."
I loved that line. Like my first post with this title--it was definitely unexpected http://lynnecoll.blogspot.com/2010/07/finding-good-lines-in-unusual-places.html.
To post his complete speech:
"Settle down, that's a good way to put it. Settle down, like mud in a pool.
Bridge on Wednesday, cocktails on Thursday, PTA on Fridays."
