An open letter to JJ Abrams
Hi Mr Abrams. You may not know me, but I know you. I’m an admirer of your work. Sometimes, like in Lost, I don’t know what’s going on, but I stuck around for the ride because I believed you had it all planned out. Or did you?
Your new film has me confused. Is it called Cloverfield? Or 01-18-08? Does it even have a name? Or is it so crap you can’t be bothered naming it?
I’ve tried to get excited about it. I checked out the first trailer, and I’ve seen the second trailer. Yes, yes, it’s very Blair Witch. And there seems to be a monster involved. But the hand-held camera made me feel a little sick.
