I was just about to say...the fight scene in Bourne set me off as well. I was sitting 3rd row from the screen that night because the theater was packed.
Totally there with you.
So now movies need a barf alert?
Funny, we did the same... my stepson recommended we sit in the back for that very reason. When we got to the movie theater (early) a big cluster of people were already sitting in the back. One guy sat up near the front during the entire move. I wonder how he felt when it was over... LOL
I wouldn't have gone to see this movie, except my stepson wanted to see it. It was somewhat imaginative, I suppose, but I think I'd also give it a "C" grade overall.
Some parts about that movie were horribly dumb but I thought the great thing it DID do was work you up into a self-imposed suspense.
The annoying part was that it was all about a guy searching for a way to get to a girl who wasn’t even his girlfriend. HOW ABOUT THE THING THAT ALL OF A SUDDEN IS ATTACKING AND KILLING AND SPAWNING OFFSPRING ALL OVER NEW YORK CITY?
WTF?
This idiot spent the entire film moping around and crying that he couldn’t get to this friend.
Yet, didn’t shed a tear about his brother getting killed in front of his eyes.
We used to eat yogurt and drink fruit punch before going on them. We took projectile vomiting to a whole new level.
Most of today's movies need a barf alert.
Some movies, like this one, need a barf bag to go with it.
My fiancee emptied her popcorn bag into mine and kept it at her side the rest of the film for that exact reason. She wasn’t convinced she was done throwing up.
1 hour and 2 minutes long? Think I’ll pass & just wait to rent it from Redbox for $1
Why didn't you walk out and ask for a refund?
Stupid question: What does 'online viral marketing campaign' mean?
>1 hour and 2 minutes long? Think Ill pass & just wait to rent it from Redbox for $1<
Yup, Went in the theater 1:26...the trailers went on until 1:40 pm.
1:41 pm start...ended at 2:43 pm.
Keep your dough for the dvd.
Since the very first viral marketing stuff appeared for Cloverfield, I’ve been waiting impatiently for its release. But now that I’ve heard from everyone that the film will make those prone to motion sickness very nauseous, I’m going to have to miss it. Unfortunately, as I’ve grown older, I do get somewhat motion sick during some movies. United 93 was the WORST. My wife and I couldn’t even look at the screen the last third of the film as the first 2/3rds had made us so motion sick. We almost walked out. It was torture. I suspect the Cloverfied is far worse and I’m going to have to avoid it.

BWP scared the crap outta me. Yeah...it’s embarassing to admit that. It didn’t make me sick but Open Water did. Oh...and so did my daughter’s Playstation2 ScoobyDoo game. I got sicker than a dog after 5-10 minutes of playing that game.
Fortunately, I saw it on DVD. It was stupid. But it had one of the great PR campaigns ever waged.
Wow! She was determined. I think I would have given up and gone home after one barf. LOL
Thank you very much for that info and links for “viral marketing” in #54. Looks like I learned something new today... :o)
Yes any of the shooter or first person walking games on x-box or playstation make me sick as well.
Never thought about it to be honest. Is it the theater’s fault?
