it's not cloverfield i object to per se, that fulfils it's objective of being a big dumb monster movie and selling lots of DVDs; but to give it's director the chance to mangle a (mostly) subdued and atmospheric film like LTROI will no doubt prove to be a mistake. Hollywood is so patronizing to the American audiences it's ridiculous, the cult popularity of LTROI speaks for itself. But then 'cult' is not exactly blockbusting opening weekend sales is it?
