Note.

For the record, I have not seen Cloverfield even though I previously referred to it. You know how when The Blair Witch Project came out and there were these warnings that the motion of the camera may make some people sick and you thought, “Dude, what kind of asshole gets sick watching a movie?” That kind of asshole would be me. So I now studiously avoid movies where the camera moves too much, and by too much I mean even a little. I didn’t even make it through the first ten minutes of The Thing.

I did watch all of They Live, though. Not that They Live has a shaky cam or anything. I just love me some Rowdy Roddy Piper.

I got sick while watching Blair Witch Project too. In fact there were 3 of us and 2 of us kept our heads down most of the movie. AND a different woman threw up when she left the theater. Hence, no Cloverfield for me.

I'm that kind of @$$hole, too. I wanted so much to keep my head up during the Blair Witch but couldn't.

I can normally handle those types of things, but I had to look away from the screen a couple of times during Cloverfield.

I guess you cant watch "NYPD Blue" then, that one always made me nauseous and 10 min in I had a raging headache.

Since when, in the real world, do things jump around like that when your looking at them? With the exception of riding in a 4X4 over rocky terrain? In which case I doubt very much your going to focus visually on anything!

CSI has this new thing where you feel like your having a 60's acid trip while watching the show (not that Ive ever had an acid trip) actually after a couple of wine coolers it dosn't look so bad ;)

Just wanted to let you know your not alone.
