That party at the beginning of the movie....

The best thing about that big party full of pretentious douchebags was the part where it gets broken up by a monster attack. Seriously, by having that many stuck-up yuppie twits in the same place, the only merciful way to end it is to have an apocalyptic monster attack kill off half of them and pick off the rest one by one. It's like the whole premise of the story was to show how cosmically insufferable it is to have such a concentrated number of vapid poseurs in the same room. The monsters are the heroes here.

For me the highlight of the film was watching Marlena explode because she was such a horrible person with all the charm of a damp sponge. It was definitely one of those monster movies where you root for the monster.

Well, put it this way...it definitely threw EVERYONE off guard. It didn't matter what kind of problems were going on in your life. The Cloverfield monster completely took over. I'm pretty sure that made Rob forget about his relationship problems. lol

Even I would be freaked out. I mean, you can't win against something like that. You just can't. No matter how tough or hardcore you are.

As a pretentious cunt myself, I found those people very normal - If anything, unpretentious, considering how insufferable Hud was with all the dumbass shit constantly coming out of his mouth. I love TJ Miller, but I wish he had died even before the monster attacked.
